Hello guys!

I need Thai tax ID and I was told there are two types of booklets/cards - a pink one and a blue one.

Could someone please explain what’s the difference and which one I actually need to get for the tax ID? 🙏

Hi all. Sorry if this is a dumb question. Coming on a non-O early next year and will get retirement visa on 800k. I'm thinking of transferring to 65k per month in the second year. So I'm wondering if you can spend the 65k each month, as long as it's coming in regularly, or it has to stay in the bank in totality. Thanks

Hi everyone, I have a question about the DTV visa processing time.

I submitted my DTV visa application through the Thai Consulate in Frankfurt, Germany. They requested additional documents and I uploaded everything the next day on October 15th.

Since then, I have been waiting for over 19 working days without any update or email.

Is anyone here experiencing similar processing times from Frankfurt?

How long did it take for your DTV approval?

Thank you in advance. 🙏

So after getting an account yesterday, the bank teller (new girl) F-ed up. I gave her the residence certificate and said one was for banking and the other was drivers license. After perusing it, she picked the drivers license one to submit. I should have used Google translate to make sure. My wife was occupied, and so things happen. I received a call this morning that I almost didn't pick up. It was the teller and she wanted to talk with my wife. Initially she wanted us to get to khon kaen immediately, not today, my nephew was busy elsewhere. My brother went to the Orbitor and made a few copies of the correct certificate. I signed one and became one of her contacts on Line. I sent a picture of the copy to kind of cover her ass, then went to an overnight service to send her the actual copy for tomorrow. I sent her tracking and she was happy. Hopefully it goes well and I can start putting money into the account. I did a small test this morning with wise, instantly in the account. I played around and if I keep it under 500k, it should be within seconds. If I go for the whole 800k, it will be a week. Fingers crossed 🤞

I'm planning on staying 6 months in Thailand or 2 x 3 months a year. Can anyone help me with what visas I would need? I'm 61 from the UK. I'm just struggling with all the different visas. Thanks in advance

Anyone have experience transitioning from Business Visa to DTV?

Any complications around it? I know you have to cancel the work permit before applying but just want to make sure I understand any complications.

Thank you!

Can i use my US LLC bank account as my proof of fund which solely owned by me or it should be a personal account?

Hanoi embassy approved dtv

I think the embassy in Hanoi is working very consistant. I saw someone posting to receive approval for muay thai softpower dtv on the 10th Nov - submission on 3rd Nov.

I also submitted mine on 3rd November, softpower muay thai, but towards end of the day. I received approval this afternoon on 11th Nov. I submitted all documents that are requested at once and went into Pending approval status until today.

This DTV page really helps a lot, as it gave me an idea of how far the "queue" was at the embassy in Hanoi. Cheers to all.

Hello, I urgently need your help. Has anyone here ever applied for a DTV (Domestic Tourist Visa) 180 Day for Thailand in Laos that also includes a spouse? We're currently living in Hua Hin on tourist visas but want to stay longer with our children. If so, what documents do we need? My wife and I are married in Germany. We're unsure which documents we need to have certified. Thank you so much, Katrin

Alternate Soft Power Cooking Schools Bangkok

1.) What are some alternate soft power cooking schools in Bangkok to apply with apart from Arun Cooking & House of Taste ?

2.) Between Hanoi, HCMC & Bali, who has had success applying there from which city ?

Yes, I’ve used the search bar of this group religiously. Just good to collect additional data. Thanks
