So when applying for the DTV, is the website the best, or do you have to go to the thai embassy in your home country?

Hey guys. I have an interview in Vientiane and just wanted to check what they accept as original documents. All of my documents are stored in my laptop or emailed to me from my office in the UK. Do I literally need to print them off for the interview or when they ask to see originals would I be okay just showing them the originals on my laptop? Thanks

I’m hoping to retire to Thailand in April 2026 or January 2027, funds permitting. In December I will be traveling there for a holiday on a tourist visa.

My question is, while I’m there, will I be able to change my tourist visa to a 90 day visa to allow me to apply for a bank account, and start transferring my current savings in time for my retirement. We rent a house in Bangkok and are buying a house in Ubon, my name isn’t on either at the moment, but can be if required to support my application for a bank account.

I look forward to seeing any serious help and advice.

Thank you

Hi guys. What additional documents do they want to see for the DTV?

They state: "Please provide details about your current work, including (1) your CV or portfolio, and (2) examples of your work, along with any supporting materials that demonstrate your experience and qualifications."

I am confused: I already provided a letter mentioning that I am a business owner/property manager and manage an airbnb in NYC. I provided the listing and a proof of income for 2024 & YTD 2025. I also provided the documents of my LLC.

Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hi everyone! I have a question.

I will be moving to Thailand in November.

But will entry the country and stay for a week or so in September.

Is it possible for me to apply now for my DTV (for November) and enter in September just with my tourist visa, even if the DTV of November is approved?
