I'm looking to see if anyone has a similar history to me and has any advice about getting a DTV.

I have been in Thailand since mid 2022 - I started on a 6 month METV, then went to an ED Visa for a year, followed by another ED Visa, the second of which was less educational than the first.

Has anyone with a similar history had issue getting a DTV and would you recommend using an agent? I've seen first hand the pull agents have with officials in country, but I am not sure about at embassies abroad. I'd be looking at the Soft Power route as unfortunately I'm not over 50 and my income comes from a vet pension.

I opened a Bangkok Bank account by DTV. Currently the account has been locked for 2 weeks without a due date. Does anyone in the group know a lawyer to go with me to the bank to request a refund or sue? A few million baht. Leave a comment and I will dm you. Thanks

Sorry if this question has been asked previously.

Is the Thailand Digital Arrival Card required when doing the 180 day renewal in the Jomtien Immigration Office? My research shows this is not a requirement but keen for confirmation from you all.

I wish to renew my 2 year drivers licence to a 5 year. They require a visa more than a tourist visa. I'm from the UK, can someone tell me what is the visa type I require just for this purpose. Can I get it in country, or do I have to apply in London?

Cheers,

I am retired and hoping to visit Thailand 5 1/2 months total each calendar year on three separate visits. Do I need any specific visa, and if not, should I expect any issues at entry with Immigration officers? Thank

you in advance!!!

Hello I am from Australia and am 41 and im looking to spend a year living in Thailand to test the waters before I fully commit to selling up and coming over full time. I'm not looking to take on and work and have enough funds to support myself during my stay. What visa will I need to do so? Sorry in advance for being uninformed on the subject!

When apply and enroll to a Thai language school for Ed visa there’s a box to cross for if you have a criminal record. Is that really a requirement? And do they check that with your home country?
