I need to get documents posted from Australia for a visa. I have an address here. Is it better to get them sent to a post office? Does anyone have any recommendations? Should I use DHL or Australia Post? 🙏 Thanks

Just a heads up for anybody that has dual Thai / British Nationality. My daughter tried to renew her British Passport, the UK passport office now require a copy of any other nationality

passports you may hold. My daughters Thai passport didn't show her middle name so the UK passport office wouldn't renew her British passport until it was sorted out. If anyone has dual Thai/ British nationality make sure both passports show the same name before you try to renew the British one.

Good afternoon...Some advice if possible please .I am here on a 60 day tourist visa which expires on January 13. I wish to convert to a non imm O retirement visa.. how soon before the January 13 expiration date can I make application?

Hello everyone .

Last year I entered Thailand on 24 December 2024 and stayed for about 40 days . Left to visit Siem Reap and Kuala Lumpur for a week then came back to Phuket for about two weeks ( first entry on visa exemption of 2025). After left back to my home country of Romania for two weeks , then Istanbul, Dubai , Cairo and back to Thailand for another week( second entrance on visa exemption for 2025) . Mid March I returned home to Romania got my USA work visa and stayed in America to work from April to December. Now my plan is to bring my parents to SE Asia . We will be in Vietnam for a week but would like

to fly to Thailand on 31st of December for New Years Eve( it would technically be a third entrance in 2025, but with an almost 9 month pause between this and the last entrance) . Do you guys think it would be an issue , should I wait until it’s technically 2026 the fly into Thailand. Overall I have spent probably less than 60 days this year in Thailand .

Thank you

I need to do a border run as I am coming up to 180 days. I am planning to fly to Siem Reap for two nights holiday. I have a DTV remote worker visa. Can I expect any issues when returning ?

Soft Power and proof of income 🤔

Hello everyone, just a quick question please. I am 20 and wish to apply in Italy.

I would like to apply for DTV Soft Power (Muay Thai) but I noticed that many embassies are starting to ask for proof of income / how you will support yourself in Thailand.

I have a work in my home country, but it’s not remote so clearly if I choose to go to Thailand for 6 months on DTV I won’t be able to continue that work.

However, I have 800-900K baht in my bank account (maybe 1 million at the day of application) and honestly my answer to “how you’ll support yourself” would be savings at this point.

Is that okay? Can I get accepted saying savings in my cover letter? Do you have any tips to maximise the chances of getting the visa?

Thanks! ❤️🙌

Hello everyone. Can I open a bank account with a DTV visa?

i have the bank balance but no income, can i still get the dtv for cooking/muay thai etc? what is the simplest/cheapest one and is there minimum requirements for classes you have to attend?

Who’s else is in HCM Vietnam that’s still pending for document check. (Applied/paid Dec.2 at 3am)

Should had done Hanoi, seems like everyone’s getting it done within 4 business days or at least past the document check phase within the first day or 2.
