Just seeing how possible to get a DTV visa here in UK. I read it can only be obtained from outside of Thailand . I have the requirements for this visa apart from Hospital Appointment and Dental appointment , both of which I do need, and /or a cooking Course which I would like very much ? It seems no one is willing to give appointments unless I'm actually in Thailand?

I have in the past, had retirement visas, as I'm well over 50, but as I now have to be back in Uk for a few months each year, the DTV is ideal.

Visa Exempt or Tourist visa with extension give 3 months, just need 5 or 6 months! I wouldn't want to do boarder bounce. And yes of course there's the retirement visa if DTV not possible . Many thanks

Sorry if this is not completely on topic but has anyone ever moved freight from Los Angeles to Bangkok? I'm looking at shipping companies and there's so many options. I'm only looking to move about 1 pallet maybe 1.25m high. Any ballpark ideas how much that would cost if I drop it off at the depot/ port? I would appreciate any shipping company recs if possible, thank you :)

Hey,

Looking for a solid visa border bounce service from Bangkok—specifically one with good drivers and comfortable vans (no sketchy rides 😅).

If you’ve had a good experience with a company, drop your recommendations!

Appreciate it!

During my last visits to immigration, I saw an incredible number of passports, some of which had been brought by agencies. There were lots of people queuing at each counter to present their passports for various reasons. My question: has it ever happened to any of you, independently of agencies or yourself, that your passport was lost? If so, what did you do to solve the problem, because the passport is the most important document?

I am currently on a spouse visa but my marriage isn't going great and I am considering switching to the DTV as my visa is expiring in 3 weeks anyway. The thing is that I have around 430k baht on a thai bankaccount. I can easily top this up to 500k. Question is will this be accepted or does the 500k needs to be there for a certain time, i read 3 months somewhere? Any advice on best embassy to apply for DTV in this case?

Many thanks in advance to anyone with some advice.

Greetings to the awesome DTV visa community here that has been so helpful to many people including myself🙏🩵🇹🇭🌴 I have a question and excuse me as I’m sure this has been asked many times before.

I currently have 90 day travel insurance. I will be staying in Thailand as long as possible on this trip. I might be able to get another 90 day insurance policy, but in the long run I need a policy that will cover me monthly as long as I need it.

I appreciate anybody’s help as to recommendations for a quality and inexpensive insurance program for foreigners here in America. Thank you in advance to everybody who offers good solid advice here. Have a great day!
