Has anyone tried to get a Chinese visa with their dtv? And if it is possible? Thanks

Hi. Does anyone know of a soft power cookery class for the DTV in Ao Nang, Krabi or surrounding area ?

Has anyone opened a Thai bank account with a DTV visa?

I'm in Chiang Mai, but I like other areas too.

Please share your experience

Need advice:

Has anyone experienced apply DTV in Cambodia? What documents did you submit? How long was the process?

Good day everyone!

I recently learned that if you stay in Thailand for more than 180 days, you’re considered a tax resident and have to pay taxes there.

But I’m still a bit confused — does that mean taxes need to be paid in both countries (my home country and Thailand)? Or can I transfer all my tax obligations fully to Thailand?

Also, how is this actually tracked if I can’t open a Thai bank account yet? Like… how do they even verify that money was received in Thailand in the first place?

Would really appreciate any insights or experiences on this topic 🙏

Hi all, I’m looking for a bit of advice 🙏🏻 I’ve just arrived here recently on an tourist Evisa, my intention is to apply for a non immigrant O visa . I looked into agent fees & thought them to be touch high.

I’m happy to try & fo it myself if possible.

Do I just go to immigration in Jontiem & explain & let them tell me what to do?

Naturally I’ve no bank account here but have a rental contract, Thai phone number etc.

I’ve no problem meeting the monthly 65k I believe 😇 that you need transfered in rather than the lump sum ( if possible).

It’s understanding g the process here that seems a bit confusing ( for me).

Experienced help would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏻

Hi guys,

After I have small problems with my permit of stay, I like to get next time (Feb. 2026) an extension of stay​based on retired.

I have a german passwort and live in Germany.

The problem is, I can not ask for any Visa in Germany, because my small village is not in there system. Try a lot.

2024 I make 2 NON-O, so it was possible and easy to do online.

2025 I try many time, not possible anymore. Try different browser, Linux Windows and so on....

Question now, can I come with Visa exemtion and confert it to extension of stay based on retired. Of course if I can show all nessesary proof.

Immigration for me is Khon Kaen.

For my proof of income , like to get a guarantee letter from german embassi, prefer Chiang Mai or pattaya, enjoy to travel.

If not possible Bangkok. My income is high enough. No Mix of income need.

Happy to hear your thought.

Thanks

Multi entry gotcha!

I recently renewed my retirement visa a month before it was due. I made the mistake of assuming that my previous visa stamp and multi entry was valid until the expiry date. No so, the new one replaces the existing stamp.

As I didn't have a new re entry stamp I was nearly denied entry as the previous multi entry stamp was invalidated with the new visa stamp.

Fortunately after some discussion with a senior officer they allowed me to enter.

Hello all, i have just gotten my DTV and currently in bangkok. Looking to purchase an insurance for hospitalisation coverage in thailand. Would appreciate recommendations 🙏

Hello everyone, regarding the DTV visa’s required bank balance and transaction statement, what format did you use? Do they need to be officially issued by the bank, or are mobile banking screenshots acceptable?Thank you for your reply.
