Does the money required for a thai retirement visa have to be in a thai account or is uk bank ok?

They asking for confirmed accomodation for the duration of intended stay.

During the application i selected 165 days of stay.

Do i need to book a hotel now for 165 days ?

Another question:

At the application process they asking for flight ticket. I booked a 'ticket' via onwardticket website.

Now they asking me for confirmed airline ticket. Can i now book a different flight ? Or do i need to book the flight i provided (onwardticket).

Has anyone entered Thailand on a tourist visa while waiting for their DTV visa to be granted, and then come back to the country where they submitted the application from when they receive it and then enter Thailand again on the DTV?

If you have done this, please let me know if you had any problems or if all was okay.

I’ve waited a long time for my DTV an it’s still pending approval. I need to get back to Thailand now.

Many thanks..

Hey everyone!

I had a quick question about travel patterns and Thai immigration.

I’m a U.S.-based flight attendant, so I want to spend about 14 days in Thailand each month for rest and leisure between my work rotations. I fly back to the U.S. regularly and always have return tickets, plus I stay in hotels or Airbnbs during my visits.

I actually contacted the immigration office in Thailand about the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) and was told I’m not eligible since I’m considered flight crew, not a remote worker.

So I’m just wondering — for those who’ve been in and out of Thailand frequently, how would a pattern like mine (14 days every month) look to immigration officers? Would that seem fine as frequent travel, or could it eventually raise flags?

I’d love to hear from anyone who’s done something similar or has experience with multiple short stays throughout the year.

Thanks in advance for any insight!

When coming in to bangkok with dtv visa first time , the immigration officer ask to show bank statement ? please share me the experiences 🙏🏻

Morning,does anyone have the link for a foreigner to register for the online TM30 there asking for Thai National ID Thanks

Non-O visa, my wife and I both have been granted the 90 day visa and will enter Thailand at the end of December. However, we will exit 2 weeks later to close up existing home. Do we just need to obtain a re-entry stamp to keep the visas alive and can we do this at the airport on arrival having activated the visa?

Morning does anyone have the link for a foreigner to register for the TM30 I can only find a link and asking for Thai id thanks

Anybody here with experience with the DTV Visa and a US LLC?

For other people's reference for the DTV timeline particularly with the turnaround time for the LA Consulate for the workcation visa (remote work).

1. I applied at the LA consulate on Oct 30, 2025 in the morning. Fairly through with cover letters for each sections.

2. Got asked for more support documentation: remote work guarantee letter from company (even though I included one before), certificate of employment or contract, business license, description of business portfolio, and last year's tax return

3. Supplied the documentation on Oct 31, 2025 around 10am.

4. Got approval on same day Oct 31 around 1:30pm.

It was a super quick turnaround and glad it got approved.
