When the DTV Nomad is approved, how much time do we have to come to Thailand? Is there a time 'validity' before the departure of the country of origin to Thailand until get the stamp when we receive the approval from the embassy?

Hello. Im going to apply for DTV outside of my home country U.S. as freelancer and need guidance on portfolio and other proof of business. I've read mixed reviews in this community about using agencies. Anyone have experience with Baan Thai Immigration Solutions? Recommendation?

Health insurance

Hi! Can someone please recommend a local health insurance. Doesn't need to be fancy with outpatients etc. Just in case of emergencies/inpatient for a couple of months. I'm already living in Thailand so can't get travel insurance from my home country. Any advice appreciated, thank you

*Update*

Suvarnabhumi, connecting flight to Chiang Mai, took about 2 minutes, all he asked was if I have 2 nationalities, and I said yes and told him them (didnt ask to see my other passport) and stamped me in, no other questions, didnt ask about the incorrect name, and sent me straight through :)

My DTV visa was approved, but I noticed they have got my name wrong.

I have a double barrel first name, and submitted my name the same as my passport, however they put my name twice, as first and middle name, which I definitely didn't write

First Name- Rose-Marie

Middle Name- Marie Anne

I guess I wont be allowed to enter with the incorrect name, and have to apply again, but my visa was approved with the incorrect name, will I have issues reapplying, as I'll technically have 2 visas?

P.s I have attempted to call the embassy, they do not answer

Hello everyone, does anyone know if it’s possible to apply for the DTV visa online from anywhere in Indonesia? Or is it necessary to go to the embassy in person in jakarta? Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello!

After the DTV is approved, I want to transfer my income from my home country to a local bank in Thailand to use for my living expenses.

However, in this case, if I live in Thailand for more than 180 days, will I have to pay extra taxes to Thailand on the transferred amount?

I am from a country that has a DTA(double taxation agreement) with Thailand.

Good evening from Melbourne 👋

I am applying for non-O type visa within Australia

I have emailed the embassy about a few questions

One thing that I’m scratching my head about ( maybe I’m losing my marbles )

If you are applying for a multi entry

90 day Non - O , then get the 12 months. In-O in Thailand , with the intention of staying in Thailand for length of time with no return planned to home country at this point …..

- why do you need to fill in a departure date

from Thailand ( a field on the online form which is marked as mandatory) ?????

I understand departure flight info from home country would be needed to kick start the 90 day

But a return date ?

Thanks everyone

Enjoy your evening

So as a thought seeing the bank account problems. Would opening an account with a Thai bank in my own country with the 800,000 baht equivalent be accepted by immigration. Second thought if now would it make it easier to get an account in Thailand by transferring said account to a branch in Thailand?
