My DTV visa experience, I submitted the documents 17.11.25 at the Thai Embassy in Israel, on 21.11.25 additional documents were requested ( for verification the Muay Thai Institute) Today, 3.12.25, I received the approval and visa by email. Overall, the process was smooth

I have another question. I will be applying for the DTV as a freelancer. I hardly make any money because I just started tutoring on Preply but we have a lot saved in our account (enough to live at least 10 years in Thailand) and my husband receives monthly VA disability. When filing out the application for myself can I include my husbands income? If I just use mine will I have a chance of being denied even though we have a lot in our bank account and have the VA income?

Hi everyone. Could someone tell me the process of applying for a 7-day extension of stay when cancelling a work permit/visa? Thank you.

Confused with all the changes. Seeking clarity…

My friend arrives from South Africa tomorrow into Bangkok. Then will fly to Chiang Mai where she will travel to Pai.

With a South African passport, will she be given 60 days exempt visa (or 30 days)? And can she extend for another 30 days giving her a 90 day stay in total?

This will be her first visit to Thailand.

Morning all

Visa question. Next year me and my partner are planning 2 longer stays, and want to know if it’s doable.

Stay 1. 10 weeks. 2nd May to 11th July. 70 days.

Stay 2. 12 weeks. 1st Nov to 24th Jan 2027. 84 days.

Visa wise, am I right thinking the first trip will be 60 day tourist, then our 1st extension for 30 days (will only need 10 of them)

2nd trip, our 2nd 60 day tourist visa will expire 31st Dec 26, and we plan to be here for another 4 weeks, that technically falls into 2027.

Is this doable? Any advice greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone! I hope you're well.

I'm a 46 year old woman from UK. I'm planning on moving to Thailand on DTV soon and looking to rent a property for myself for 3, 6 or 12 months. (I may move around Thailand but coming to Phuket first). I've heard there are lots of scams with renting property.

Can I ask what I need to check in terms of documents, information, credentials, bank accounts, ID, qualifications and anything else to make sure both the agent and landlord are legitimate and my rent is going to the correct account etc?

Edit. I'm aware to not transfer online and wait to view and meet the person. My question is related to documents, info ID as above.

Thank you so much for your help 😁✨️

Can’t access my KrungThai Bank Acct!!

I opened my KrungThai bank account 2yrs ago when I was in Thailand using my educational visa paperwork. All good, used the account for loads of transactions and daily life.

I am now back in the UK. No plans to return to Thailand anytime soon. Changed my mobile and can’t access the Krunghtai app. It prompts me for my passport number. I give it. Then it says more ID required and go to the branch in person.

Going to the branch in person is not possible. They must have a ID verification process for foreign account holders who are not in Thailand??

Can someone advise?

Hi ,

I’m helping my friend who lives here in Bangkok under a non o visa.

I want to help him to check with folks here who has good recommendations for a good driving school here in Bangkok.

He doesn’t have a license from his home country so is getting himself through the school in obtaining one.

Thanks in advance:)

Hey guys, new here. American and currently in Thailand. Besides Vietnam (waiting for my visa to get approved), what other countries nearby that's good to apply for DTV visa from? Everything is ready on my part.

I'm in Thailand on a non-immigrant o type Visa. We intend to apply for a marriage visa. My wife is thai we married in the U.S. We went to Kasikorn Bank to open an account. I had a printed copy of my evisa, my digital arrival card, my passport and our rental agreement. We also had with us a copy of our us marriage license that had been certified by the state the state department and the Thai Embassy in the United States.

Kasikorn Bank refuse to allow me to open up a bank account. I don't understand what's going on has anybody else had this experience with Kasikorn Bank?
