Hello, I am from Russia. I am 50 years old. I want to make a pension visa. Can I do this?

Can I add the 500k baht to my American bank account a week before applying for DTV in Hanoi?

I’ll be in Hanoi on July 7 and want to apply while there, but nervous about being rejected if the money is not seasoned. Would love to hear experiences like mine.

For reference I am going the soft power route (6 month cooking class).

Hello Group, I am here on a Non-O based on marriage, also have a Thai child and arrived April 7th, 2025. Unfortunately I didn't get the 400K deposited into my Bangkok Bank until April 29th. Fast forward to June 19 and had a medical emergency ( heart attack ), which caused me to dip into the 400k, bringing it down to around 100K. I am stamped 90 day until July 6th. I am guessing that this will be an issue at IO. I was planning on refilling my Thai bank account back up to 400K+, but wanted to consult the group first. Do I really have to start this whole process again? I am also hoping IO will take into consideration the medical situation and extend my initial 90 day, allowing me to stay and season the 400K. Will consider agent at this point. Please help!

I have to have 2 residency certificate for my Thai drivers licences.

I have a certificate so can I copy the original or do I have to go to immigration and get another one?

Is this directive from 2023 still in effect, or is this purely up to the immigration officer at the airport? I called immigration in Thailand today and they informed me they are not sure what this directive is. With the introduction of TDAC I wanted to know how this applies.

My visa is up at the end of July so I was looking into extending my 180 days but it seems from all the fb groups and reddit its pretty painful and almost like trying to reapply again with all the updated paperwork. So I think people are just opting to leave Thailand and come back again which seems like an easier choice but a bit more expensive. Has anyone done the DTV visa run from Koh Samui to Singapore yet? Every time I go to Samui I just walk off the plane I have never seen the Visa entry area? lol

Hello,

I'd like to ask for advice. I previously applied for a DTV visa, but the title wasn't eligible. The embassy approved a TR visa for me on June 16. Now, I've enrolled in a cooking class and want to reapply for a DTV visa. Can I still apply, or are there any restrictions?

I'd appreciate any guidance from those who have experienced a similar situation.

Thanks in advance.

I am currently waiting to hear back any day now for my dtv.

This will be the first time since I’ve left Thailand since the TDAC has come into place, will I still need to do the TDAC form online even though I will have a DTV visa (fingers crossed), and if so how am I meant to put my flight details in 3 days before if I’m still waiting on the results for my dtv?

Should I wait for my dtv results and then stay 3 more days? Or how long does it actually take to get accepted for the tdac ?

I would like to ask for your advice regarding my visa status. I am currently holding a language school visa (short course), which will expire in August.

May I apply for a DTV in Ho Chi Minh without cancelling my existing education visa?
