Hello

I will apply for Dtv visa from Laos. But if my DTV is not approved, can I apply for a tourist visa with triple entries to re-enter Thailand.

Greetings Peter

Hi everyone, I have a question regarding the DTV visa application for Myanmar passport holders.

I am currently in Thailand on a Non-ED visa and working remotely for a foreign firm. I plan to switch to DTV (Workcation category) soon. However, my passport is expiring soon, and I need to renew it before applying.

The only way I can renew my passport in Bangkok is to change from a PV (Visit Passport) to a PJ (Job Passport) for some reason through an agent.

For any Myanmar nationals who have successfully applied for DTV, does the passport type (PJ) matter? Has anyone faced issues because of their passport type when applying for DTV?

Would appreciate any insights.

I've posted a couple of times on here about Immi asking me for proof my 800k funds originally sent in 2019 came from abroad. I have something to note and something to ask. To note, I asked my bank on two occasions to supply the proof, they said they couldn't find any origin abroad deposits. So I was faced with importing another 800k. Then this week I found my old bank book, and sure enough there was the record with the FFS code for a foreign origin. So, note that the bank may not try hard enough, you may need to push them if you no longer have your old bank books. Second, is a question. I can now apply for the retirement visa here, but I'm heading back to Europe in April. As I understand it, I can get the non-immi retirement visa now, valid for three months, then extend it to a year. My question, after getting the 3 month visa, can I leave the country with a re-entry for a few months, then come back in and apply for the 1 year extension, or will my 3 month visa become invalid upon departure?

Hanoi Approval! USA Remote Worker

I found these posts so helpful so wanted to add my own experience.

- 2/19: application submitted in the afternoon

- 2/20: status changed from document check to pending approval

- 2/27: approval email sent at nearly 10pm!

** Update: dependent spouse

- 2/27: submitted their application immediately after getting my visa, late at night

- 2/28: they requested an updated bank statement

- 3/1: thankfully my bank posted the February statement right away so i uploaded it on Saturday

- 3/3: status changed to pending approval

- 3/5: visa approved around 7pm

I do feel that was kind of long for a dependent one but oh well. **

I was not asked for anything extra, and here is what I submitted:

Proof of finances: 6 months of bank statements meeting requirements. I used the first page as well as any pages with payroll deposits and highlighted those

Proof of job: very brief cover letter explaining what I do (regular employee of a company), how long I’ve worked there, and why I want to apply. Then a letter from my manager (again super super simple. Just confirmed start date, remote status, and direct deposit payroll), and the company’s business registration from the state SOS where they are headquartered. Our internal HR system also has some pages showing management hierarchies so I screenshotted the part showing my name and my managers, and my employee overview page which shows start date and confirms remote status.

Proof of location: entry stamp and hotel booking.

In my very limited and anecdotal experience, include as much as you can! I am now applying for my spouse so will update when that one is complet. Thank you and viva Thailand 🇹🇭

Are we liable to pay tax or file return if we live in Thailand more than 10 months with DTV Visa and a Visa run after every 160 days in one year? If so what percentage for nomads?

Wonderful people. Could I ask for help in clarifying making money while on the DTV? I teach niche yoga classes. The parent company is in Dubai. Studios worldwide hire them, pay them in foreign currency, who then hire me to travel to teach at that location. In this case Thailand. Would that qualify me as a “remote” worker even though I would physically be teaching in Thailand? 🤔 Thanks in advance.

Non-Immigrant O-A visa. For retirement question.

Anyone willing to share what they or their friends 😄 may have paid for their insurance

I know and welcome all informed advice on the costs of insurance that has been paid.

For an exact figure only a personal quote will give me a definite answer.

Doing my groundwork on an advice group at this moment in time.

Can anyone give an example of what they paid for compulsory basic insurance for this O-A visa monthly or yearly figures

Hello, just received a text from my Thai bank requesting urgent information regarding CRS. I am not from the US and Ipay all my taxes in my home country. Do I need to do anything as it requests I contact them. Thanks

Edit Update: Thanks for all the replies. Just been to my bank and it was a genuine text I received. I had to take in my passport, bank book, tax number in my overseas country and proof of Thailand address. They filled in the forms which took 10 minutes in all. Good luck if you need to do this.

Can I, as a tourist, come and stay for 60 days, go to another country after that, go to Thailand for another 60 and keep doing that? How often is that allowed

I will be moving to Thailand in August. I will be entering on a Non O Immigrant Visa. I intend on filing for a Marriage Visa with 30 days left on my entrance visa.

Looking for advice on a good Thai bank that will allow me to open an account in order to meet the Marriage Visa requirements. I will be living in the Pathum Thani area.

Thanks!
