Hello!

Used the search function and found some good info on this group, and also quite a few long posts which were a little unrelated... so was hoping this might bring all answers into one!

Applying in UK with British passport.

Question:

-Please can you recommend best/cheapest muay thai gyms in Bangkok, that are experienced with the DTV and applications are successful?

Tiger Eye is currently top of my list, also because they offer yoga/meditation classes as a possible alternative (although not sure if that would be a valid option for DTV application - feel free to answer this too🙂).

Also, in your experience, are 1-mnth only memberships becoming less & less approved (need 3 mnths +)?

Really appreciate your help 🙏

Hi, can anybody confirm if Vienna embassy (Austria) requires to have 500k funds in bank for 3+ months?

If I transfer money to bank account today, do I need to wait until january to apply ? Thank you.

Experience living in Thailand on METV

Hi guys, I currently live In Thailand on DTV but my partner is on metv until he saves up enough money for the dtv. Has anyone had any successful experience renewing your METV after it expires or will the embassy see it as a no-go? Will immigration cause issues for such case?

I know this is not asking for visa advice, but as it's somewhat related I hope you don't mind. I am considering applying for a Thai passport next year on the points system. I know most of the requirements not I looking for clarification on some of them and help with the process.

Hi, I’m currently on a time crunch and I was wondering if anyone bringing pets in cabin with them was able to get an import permit on arrival? It says on the AQS site that you can and my pet meets all the requirements but I’m unsure if I should just rebook my flight or not. I have a valid usda cert and rabies vax as well.

I want retirement visa with Wich agency I can work , I am in pattaya

First time 90 day report for my O retirement visa, which I have to do in person.

I will be doing this at Hua Hin main immigration office. Some sites say I can do up to 14 days before due date. Can anyone confirm this as 'friends' have said it's 7 day's. Thanks 🙏

There was a group "Australians in Thailand". It went "Read only", no posting. Anyone knows about that?

I would like to know which is the official site to Compile (tdac) thanks I have been on a site that asked me to pay 2000bht

Hey everyone! 👋

Has anyone here applied for the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) from Brussels or Paris? I’d really appreciate some insight.

I meet all the main requirements except that I don’t yet have the 500,000 THB seasoned for 6 months. My apartment sale finalizes next week, and once that’s done I’ll have well over 500,000 THB in my account. My monthly income is solid, and my parents are also willing to include a sponsorship letter with an account showing more than the required amount.

I plan to include my professional portfolio, social media presence, and music royalty income statements as proof of my ongoing work and financial stability. I also have a long-term condo lease in Bangkok (I stayed about 5 months this year on a tourist visa), which I’ll attach as supporting evidence.

👉 Questions:

* How long does it usually take to get the visa approved?

* Would you recommend applying through Brussels or Paris?

* And does anyone know if they’re getting stricter about the 6-month fund requirement?

I’m hoping to apply as soon as possible before any potential policy changes. Thanks a lot in advance for any advice or recent experiences! 🙏
