I know this may sound like I’ve not done my research, but please don’t come for me too hard 😫

But I’m asking for any advice + information regarding registering/setting up a business in Thailand as a foreigner (British national)

What is the process? Is it possible? Is there set requirements for having a Thai business partner? Or a set amount of Thai people working for the company? Is the process lengthy and filled with fees?

Again, Thankyou for anyone who takes the time to provide me information and point me in the right direction! Please don’t be mean 🙏🏽🙏🏽😅

Has anyone recently been on a TR visa with multiple entries and then applied for a DTV and got approved?

My concern is that I have been approved for a TR visa and have had two to three re-entries within the past six months. I'm unsure whether I should email the embassy to cancel already approved TR visa before applying for the DTV.

Any suggestions? Thanks so much in advance! 🙏

Has anyone ever had an issue with DTV requesting more documents? They asked for my passport with middle name and passport only have middle initial but the application requested my full name so wondering if my Driver License with middle name will work I submitted that but passport does not have middle name spelled out

May be a shot in the dark but does anyone have the info needed from Samut Prakan Immigration office to convert an exemption stamp to a non-o spousal 90 day visa? I understand all Immigration offices are different. So I would like the one specific to Samut Prakan.

Hi everyone, has anyone recently secured the DTV as a remote worker while in Vietnam? I’m from the U.S. but live in Bangkok and will leave for Vietnam next week to pursue the DTV. I have my offer letter stating that I’m a remote IT worker, my boss also wrote a letter to double down on that as well, I have $18k in savings that I’ve saved up the last 4 months or so. I also signed a lease on an apartment here in bangkok I plan to stay in Vietnam at least 2 weeks. Do you think it’s enough? I don’t have 6 months of statements amounting to $18k each month.

Hi.

A question about 90 day reporting, following on from a previous post. If on DTV and I stay 180 days and don't report after 90 days, are there any ramifications further down, when I leave and then return to Thailand?

I read somewhere about a fine.

(Sorry, anonymous because I get annoyed with the keyboard warriors who see every post as a stupid question!)

Any relevant answers appreciated.

Not sure how to ask this, but how safe are visa land border run's on those mini-vans?

I mean the vans itself and the drivers. Some friends have telling me to avoid them due to accidents, but i don't find that many in last few years.

From bangkok.

Is it better or does it matter to have a Thai condo lease prior to DTV application? Does it help the case? Kinda hard to get a 1 year lease when you dont know if youll get the dtv so 1 year lease on a tourist visa is a bit shady but, i would guess legal?

Any experience with this?

Thanks

Probably an obvious question to you guys but I couldn't find the answer in the search so here goes....helpful answers only please, if you can't be civil please don't post x

I want to get a dtv with cooking as my soft power however I can't find any longish courses. If the course is short can I still get a dtv?

Does anyone know a reputable cooking school that might be able to help?
