Hey all,

We plan to head over again this fall but would like to try and obtain a DTV visa.

We have a steady monthly income of around 150k Thai bhat but we don’t have “digital nomad employment”

However, We would like to do a trial run before of a couple of months to make sure this is our right move.

What’s the timeline on obtaining DTV. We are open to hanging out in a neighbouring country for a short time once our 60 days are complete, but I have read you have to apply for DTV from your home country.

Any insights?

Also. Anyone who’s moved their Dog with them, what was the appropriate channels? What documents will be required?

I recently had my Non-O retirement visa extended, but BB’s new policy made the process extremely difficult, complicated, and costly in both time and money.

I would now like to transfer my funds from BB to another bank. Would it cause any problems if I withdraw all the money from my BB account, which I used for the visa extension, since one of the conditions requires maintaining a minimum balance of THB 400,000? Or, as long as I have THB 800,000 (THB 400,000 2 months prior to the filling date) in any Thai bank account, would that be acceptable?

In other words, for my future visa renewal, must I continue using the same bank account that I originally used for the visa application and initial renewal?

If anyone has experience to share, I would appreciate it.

Is it normal that the Thai SETV system only shows the first page of PDFs?

Hey guys,

I’m applying for the Thai tourist visa (SETV) online and I’m really confused about the document upload system.

I’m doing everything from my phone (no computer available), and here’s what happened:

• I uploaded my round-trip flight ticket in one single PDF (page 1 = departure, page 2 = return).

• I also uploaded my bank statement: page 1 with the balance, then the following pages with my transactions for the last 3 months.

• But then I got an email saying that my return flight was “missing” and also that my 3-month transactions were “missing.”

The problem is that when I hit the preview button in their portal, it only shows me the first page of the PDF. I assumed the agent could download and see the whole PDF on their side… but it looks like they only check the first page??

Now I’m stuck because:

• How the hell am I supposed to put a full bank statement (3 months of transactions) into one single page? That’s literally impossible unless I photoshop a collage.

• I already uploaded complete documents, but they still asked me again as if I didn’t.

Is this normal? Can the officers actually download and see the full PDF, or do they really only check page 1? Anyone else had the same issue doing the application from mobile?

Hey everyone,

Quick question: in the case where I’ve done a bank account switch within the last 3 months, is it acceptable to provide bank statements from both banks in order to justify the €15,000 available on my account ?

Has anyone ever been in this situation ?

Thanks in advance for your feedback 🙏

I believe I am eligible to apply for either remote work or soft power (medical) categories. I have a job that allows me to work remotely and I am also have upcoming appointments at a hospital in Bangkok and will continue to have appointments every few months for the foreseeable future. I may retire within a year or two. Would I be better off applying under the soft power (medical) category? Does it really matter? Will the immigration officer even see any of the details? My thinking is that in two or three years if I'm retired it would be easier to show an upcoming medical appointment rather than explain that I previously worked remotely. At the same time, since my medical appointments are every 3-4 months, an immigration officer may question why I need to spend so much time in Thailand rather than just coming a week before my appointment. With remote work, I could just tell them that I'm working remotely.
