Hi everyone! I’m on the DTV visa (Workation category) and have a couple of quick questions about the new Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC):

1. For “Country/Territory of Residence”, should I select Thailand if I rent an apartment here and live in Thailand full-time (no residence anywhere else)? Or should I still put my passport country?

2. For “Purpose of Travel”, is it best to select “Holiday”, since we don’t have a Thai work permit? Or is there a better option for DTV visa holders?

Have any of you entered Thailand after the TDAC was implemented while holding a DTV visa, and what did you do? If you have something else to recommend, please do let me know. Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hi. Sorry not really visa advice , but sort of connected.

What's people's views or recommendations really on health insurance providers. 65 nearly. Had some past issues but don't mind excluding that as just at the stage of keeping an eye on things as hopefully fully cured. Don't mind a policy with excess etc but just would like some genuine advice from people with current genuine experience in this matter. Don't really want to be clicking on random website ads.

Many thanks for any suggestions.

Have a nice afternoon all.

More of a nervous post. I'm going tomorrow for my non O marriage under consideration stamp. I've never heard of it and I've never been denied before. But what if it is denied? Do you just refile the paperwork? Or have to do a border run?

Someone told me they don't deny these for the marriage visas. Unless it's like a blatantly fake marriage or something.

Hi everyone, I’m planning to apply for a DTV in Laos, but some people said that to get the visa, you need to have at least 500,000 baht in your bank account for at least 3 months. Is that right?

I was wondering how much the new immigration law affects DTV visa holders.

Is there anything we should be aware of, and if so, when should we proceed?

If this topic has already been discussed, please feel free to point me to the relevant post.

Thanks in advance!

Any one knows if after rejection of DTV Muay Thai visa in Jakarta i can apply from Laos immediately?

I am applying from Vietnam and I was asked to translate my documents. I went to 2 translations office and they both told me very high prices (115€ for what I need). But the guy that I talked to told me it’s very common for this type of demand that I translate the document myself and they just put their stamp on it. I’m a bit scared, what do you guys think ?

Printed my DTV Visa with passport size and laminated it so easy to carry and show if needed 😅

Today the first time I enter Thailand via DMK and I will update in the comment section 🙌

Happy Travelling to Thailand everyone!

As for renewing driving licenses, you get 2year with DTV not 5year, I guess this was expected as its a tourist visa, but I had some hopes because its 5year visa 😝

And for requirements, on DLT website it says certificate of residence but no, you need the same paper from IO that you needed when you got your first license (for motorbike, and car, different papers).

The officer at transportation office said, and wrote on my appointment letter that I need 1 cert and 1 copy of it. A bit confusing since i renew motorbike and car. Car they check both boxes in 1 paper?

I have never renewed a license here before, so of course obvious things for some people, but just FYI for people like me...

You also need to print out the certificate of your 1hour training, showing from phone is not enough.

Hello, I am currently in Thailand and will soon start freelancing. I have seen several people doing the DTV process from Vietnam. I would like to know if I can telework for a few weeks from Vietnam to justify my income? Is it legally allowed? and which kind of visa do I need in Vietnam? (I am French)
