Hello! Just arrived in BKK. Need to open a bank account to deposit funds to convert visa to Non-immigrant O visa. Here with my daughter holding ED visa. When do I need to start my application to extend to a year visa? Should I be thinking of hiring an visa agent? Thank you 🙏

Could anybody with a DTV visa help advise, as I couldn't find the information online.

This may be specific to the UK, as I am unsure of the laws that other countries have.

The UK seems to have a law that you cannot work outside of the country for more than 180 days per year. My company is fine with me working anywhere in the world, but their concern is taxes, and that they will be required to pay foreign taxes, or that we will break some laws by doing this.

I currently (and will continue to) pay taxes in the UK as I am a resident there, but does anybody know if there are implications for me working abroad, or any steps myself and my company would need to take.

Thank you very much

US visa exemption. I visited Thailand 3 weeks in June and 2 & 1/2 weeks in November. Want to come back 6 weeks in February/March. Should be good to go? I have full iteniary of return flight and where staying. TIA

Hi guys, I’m planning a move to Thailand. I’m 25 and am looking to enter with the regular tourist visa and then continue to stay on an ED visa. Was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on schools or can tell me about their experience going this route.

I see lots of questions about Thai banks. I have been married to my Thai wife for 50+ years. She has a Thai passport and ID card and an American passport, drivers license etc. we live in the USA 🇺🇸.

we are fixing to go to Thailand 🇹🇭 again in January. I want her to open a bank account and add me on the account like here in the USA 🇺🇸.

Is that doable? Also which banks in Bangkok are more user friendly and have less fees?

TIA

Why would an embassy program an over the phone interview for a DTV visa, weeks after applying. What is to be expected?

A question - when you're 90 day non o visa that was issued inside your home country ( UK for me ) is near to expire

And you are going to apply for 1 year extension

Do you require -

1 , 800000 baht in a Thai bank or

2 , proof that you have been in receipt of 65000 baht per month for the previous 3 months

Or

3 , or a combination

I have heard talk that a combination of options 1 and 2 are now available

Is this true or false. ??

If true can somebody explain exactly what this combination is

Happy days

If you’re on a DTV visa and struggling to open a bank account, I’ve just found something that works: DEEPPOCKET.

I signed up yesterday and got approved this afternoon. You can top up at Big C, Tesco Lotus, or even bank branches by following the app instructions. I tested it out by having a friend send me 500 baht via QR scan, and so far, no issues.

It’s only been a day, but it’s already making things easier. At least I don’t have to carry so much cash around anymore. I’ll be using this until the banks decide what to do about DTV visa holders.

Hi everyone! I submitted one week ago a tourist visa request for 90 days (single entry). I’m Italian so I applied online through the royal Thai embassy of Rome.

Yesterday I’ve been asked to reupload proof of accommodation and round trip flight from Italy. I’ve done so and today I received this very vague email, saying my application was cancelled without any explanation.

Anyone had a similar case?

I don’t mind reapplying again but if I don’t know why the application was cancelled in the first place I risk getting rejected once again.

Thanks in advance 🙏🏻

What is the fee to add a dependent? 1900 or the same 10000?
