With the banking issues experienced by DTV holders, how many of you guys (that are eligible) are considering/have jumped over to a retirement visa?

Quick question.. could I apply online if currently in Bali (not my home country) ? or would I have to go to Java ?

Also, how would I prove I am in Bali as Indonesia no longer physically stamps your passport.. ?

Thanks in Advance

Do I need the latest bank statements? Can I show 10 days old bank statement?

I know there's a lot of discussion surrounding bank accounts. My friend and I both got our DTVs at the same time but the difference is that I already had a BKK Bangkok so he decided to explore Tag Thai and the experience wasn't good.

I'll share what happened in case anybody else is thinking about trying TT.

Both landed at Swampy and straight to Kasikorn booth where you can see heavy advertising for TT. "No hab". After 2 more attempts found one land side but it seems the staff really have no interest in this card and each time try to put us off using it or seemed to be just tired of people asking about it.

The booth that did have it, the lady really did not want to have anything to do with it and pleaded with another colleague to set it for my friend. Overall I find this quite strange again giving the heavy promotion.

I was about to get one as a backup in case my bank acc got frozen and had my baht ready in hand but here's the major downfall of this card. You can only load it by converting foreign currency into Thai baht at a Kasikorn booth. You cannot load it directly with THB which is totally bizarre. So basically outside major cities without a Kasikorn exchange you're screwed.

He also had huge difficulty paying and scanning as well as the app constantly crashing. Finally he withdrew the baht and binned the card. Waste of time.

Can you same-day border run to Laos still, or do you HAVE to spend 1 night out in Laos?

Hi anyone been asked in jontien immigration when renewing non o visa retirement about tax filing ?

Hi all, a quick question, I’ve just renewed my retirement visa and I was wondering when the 90 day reporting day will be?

Hi everyone,

I’m currently on a Non-ED+ visa (from university) since 2022. I’ve just graduated and recently found a job, so now I’m planning to apply for a Non-B visa at the Thai Embassy in Hanoi, Vietnam.

Does anyone here have experience with that embassy and the Non-B application process?

Also, do I need to cancel my current extension before going to Vietnam, or can I just proceed with the new application directly?

Any advice or shared experiences would be really appreciated. Thank you so much in advance! 🙏

I am planning on doing our first 90 day report tomorrow, as the deadline is 29 august.

We live in a guesthouse where we pay by month, so they report our stay every month as they are obligated to do so with tourists.

So she was not sure if I still need show the TM30..

I do believe we still need to show it right?

We do leave 2 September for a month, but I it just surpasses the deadline by 4 days. So we still need to do it 🤦🏽‍♀️

How to convert NZ/Australia driving licence to Thai Driving Licence? Is TM30 and passport stamp enough? Is 90 day report required to get residence certificate?

Thank you
