Hey guys so Im trying to understand DTV better because I've spoken to 10 different agents/agencies in the last two weeks and have had almost completely different answers everytime

* Different prices

* Different requirements

* Different time frames

* Different counties id need to go

* Different finances

* Some require meetings some don't

* Some require 500k some dont

So what should I actually know and who should I actually talk too?

Hi - I am on my first year extension of stay after having a type O retirement visa. I maintained the 800k balance for 2 months prior to and 3 months after the extension was granted. And after that it can drop no lower than 400k and I have kept it well above that.

My question:

Prior to applying for the next (second) year extension, I understand the balance needs to be 800K again -

for at least 2 months prior to application for renewal?

Or is it 3 months?

Reading the sheet from the immigration office looks like 2 months, while I see 3 months stated on other web sites. There is one site that says "keep in mind the next extension requires 3 months prior, unlike the first one", while the immigration office printout only describes '2 months prior and 3 months after'

Does anyone have any experience with processing times for a non-immigrant B visa at the Chicago consulate? I know the website says 15 business days, but was wondering how accurate that's been in people's experience. I am waiting on a letter from the HR for the Thai company I'm going to be working for. I plan on traveling on June 23rd (I haven't bought a ticket yet), and I am trying to figure out how close I might be cutting it.

I am from the USA and this year my wife and I visited Thailand 🇹🇭 and family there for just short of 4 months. 1/10-4/25/25. We entered under the visa exempt and got 60 days twice, once on arrival and then after visiting Laos 🇱🇦.

When we were leaving there has been talk about this being done away with.

So for this years visit after Thanksgiving at the end of November I am looking at getting us either a multi entry tourist visa or a multi entry non o visa.

Can someone tell me the length of time you get per entry for each type tourist/non o visa.

I looked on the site and could not find the answer anywhere.

Thank you in advance.

Hi, is Thai DBD different from Business License?

Applied for a business visa and their requesting for additional requirements.

Thank you!

With dtv visa do you need the 90 days notification?

I obtained my 90 day non o visa through the los angeles embassy... for visiting family... thai wife... what I would like to know... may I start the paper work with the immigration office before the 60 days? It would be for the marriage visa.. one year.... is there any reason why I could not just do it now.. at 30 days in country? my reason... is that I do not want to start construction of our house until I have the one year marriage visa.. thank you...

I just got approved for my DTV as a UK Limited Company owner.

Yep, at 10pm on a Bank Holiday.

I wanted to share my experience as I couldn't find many others in my situation. It took 6 working days (if we count today as a working day) to be processed and approved by the London Embassy.

In my initial application I sent:

1. A covering letter explaining my relationship to Thailand (recent holiday there), why I wanted to workcation there, and why it would benefit Thailand. I also confirmed that neither me nor my company would undertake work for or with Thai businesses or Thai people while there.

2. Passport photo page

3. A phone selfie taken on the day of the application

4. A headed letter from my company, in my capacity as Director, addressed to me, confirming that the company permits me to work remotely in Thailand for the duration of my visa. It also confirmed my duties.

5. Certificate of Incorporation

6. Driving license as proof of address

7. Screenshot from Companies House showing my appointment as Director

8. A personal bank statement showing £14,500 funds. It was a new savings account opened a few days before the application, and I transferred £14,500 to it the day of the application.

The morning after submitting the application I received the "Request for Further document" email.

They asked for:

1. Photograph taken within the last six months

2. Other request documents: - Your Professional portfolio or Your company description or Employment contract / Contract agreement.

There must have been something wrong with the first photo (it didn't show much of my shoulders) so I sent a new one.

I also sent another headed letter from the company describing the nature of the business, as well as providing a small portfolio of work.

5 working days later I got the approval email.

Pretty easy.

Is it possible to enter Thailand from the US as a tourist with passport but no visa, get married right away, apply for the non-o visa, open a bank account and deposit the 400k thb, wait 60 days, then get a marriage extension before I'd need to leave the country? Hope this makes sense!

I’m hoping to move to Thailand this September from the usa. My income is more than $65,000 Baht all from Social security. Is my Social Security statement plus us bank account showing those auto deposits going to work for financial requirements? If not how do I proceed?
