I heard it is possible to apply for a dtv visa if we already have a Thai business. A business visa + dtv visa would do the trick as long as we donโ€™t sell in Thailand. Is there someone who knows about it ? Any experience ?

Hello guys!

I need Thai tax ID and I was told there are two types of booklets/cards - a pink one and a blue one.

Could someone please explain whatโ€™s the difference and which one I actually need to get for the tax ID? ๐Ÿ™

Hi all. Sorry if this is a dumb question. Coming on a non-O early next year and will get retirement visa on 800k. I'm thinking of transferring to 65k per month in the second year. So I'm wondering if you can spend the 65k each month, as long as it's coming in regularly, or it has to stay in the bank in totality. Thanks

Hi everyone, I have a question about the DTV visa processing time.

I submitted my DTV visa application through the Thai Consulate in Frankfurt, Germany. They requested additional documents and I uploaded everything the next day on October 15th.

Since then, I have been waiting for over 19 working days without any update or email.

Is anyone here experiencing similar processing times from Frankfurt?

How long did it take for your DTV approval?

Thank you in advance. ๐Ÿ™

So after getting an account yesterday, the bank teller (new girl) F-ed up. I gave her the residence certificate and said one was for banking and the other was drivers license. After perusing it, she picked the drivers license one to submit. I should have used Google translate to make sure. My wife was occupied, and so things happen. I received a call this morning that I almost didn't pick up. It was the teller and she wanted to talk with my wife. Initially she wanted us to get to khon kaen immediately, not today, my nephew was busy elsewhere. My brother went to the Orbitor and made a few copies of the correct certificate. I signed one and became one of her contacts on Line. I sent a picture of the copy to kind of cover her ass, then went to an overnight service to send her the actual copy for tomorrow. I sent her tracking and she was happy. Hopefully it goes well and I can start putting money into the account. I did a small test this morning with wise, instantly in the account. I played around and if I keep it under 500k, it should be within seconds. If I go for the whole 800k, it will be a week. Fingers crossed ๐Ÿคž

Anyone have experience transitioning from Business Visa to DTV?

Any complications around it? I know you have to cancel the work permit before applying but just want to make sure I understand any complications.

Thank you!

Hanoi embassy approved dtv

I think the embassy in Hanoi is working very consistant. I saw someone posting to receive approval for muay thai softpower dtv on the 10th Nov - submission on 3rd Nov.

I also submitted mine on 3rd November, softpower muay thai, but towards end of the day. I received approval this afternoon on 11th Nov. I submitted all documents that are requested at once and went into Pending approval status until today.

This DTV page really helps a lot, as it gave me an idea of how far the "queue" was at the embassy in Hanoi. Cheers to all.
