When filing for the TDAC is the arrival date considered Day 1 or is Day 1 the day before arrival? Example: I arrive on July 3. Is July 1 the earliest I can submit for the card?

My husband is applying for the retirement visa. He is 50 and has all the requirements per the Thai embassy visa requirements. I won't be 50 until November. We plan on moving to Thailand in August. We have already secured a place to live in Krabi. Will I be applying for an O visa or a tourist visa until I turn 50? I'm sorry, but it's all kind of confusing. Do I go to the immigration office in Krabi to extend my tourist visa? I'd like to know where I start. Would a visa assistance office in Thailand be beneficial or is it better to attempt this on my own? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. 🙏🏻

For those of you who applied soft power in Hanoi were you asked for proof of income? I can't really tell if this is an informal requirement or not. I have ~650k in savings but I'm currently unemployed and unsure if this is an issue. In my free time I would like to pick up some freelance work but don't currently have any clients or paystubs.

Hi everyone,

I'll be reapplying for a DTV visa in the coming days. I had a previous application through the workcation route rejected. I'm going to apply again using soft power.

Should I mention the previous application within a cover letter for the new application? If so, any ideas on how to structure this letter?

Can anyone recommend a great agency for help with DTV in Thailand please?🙏 I’m sure it’s been asked a bunch of times in here so I apologize.

Hello, does anyone here have any experience with the consulate in Frankfurt in relation to the point of employment? I work for a telecommunication company, however I don’t have an explicit certificate for remote work. Does anyone have any experience with if the industry you work in is closing remote is sufficient for the visa? or in general has anyone submitted a request without a remote notice?

Hallo, hat hier jemand Erfahrungen mit dem Konsulat in Frankfurt in Bezug auf den Punkt mit dem Beschäftigungsverhältnis? Ich arbeite in einem Telekommunikationsunternehmen, habe allerdings keine explizite Bescheinigung für Remote-Work. Hat jemand Erfahrung damit, wenn die Branche in der man tätig ist, auf Remote schließen lässt ausreichend ist für das Visa? oder generell schonmal jemand eine Anfrage eingereicht ohne Remote Hinweis?

Are some Muay Thai courses not accepted anymore? Which ones are still accepted?

Hi there, I wanted to ask for clarification on two items for the DTV application as an applicant in the US-LA Consulate. I did some searches and couldn't find answers.

1. The DTV application asks for city of birth but my passport lists the state of birth. Which should I use?

2. I have a hyphenated last name. The application does not allow for hyphens. The MRC data at the bottom of the passport has a "<" between my two last names. Do I use a space or run the two last names together?

Does the applicant need to enter Thailand within a specific time frame after being issued the visa? Or can they enter the county for the first time within the 5 year period

My DTV visa was approved, but I have already left my home country and come to Thailand. In order to activate the visa, I need to leave Thailand, and re-enter. Has anyone done this, or had any issues doing it? Asking because the Dtv visa application asks for last Port of embarkation, flight number, etc.
