Hi, My friend has Filipina Girlfriend and she has lived here in Thailand for over a year now, which means she has 4 Visa-Free entry stamps, so can she fly back to home country and come back Thailand?

What’s the typical price for using an agent? My husband will deposit his 800000baht but I would like to use my retirement pension.

Another question how do I go about using my retirement pension to satisfy requirement (800000 baht). I plan on retiring 5/26 and relocating by 7/26. Just trying to figure things out, please advise, if you can..

Thank you in advance

Hi.

Regarding the letter from the bank for the one-year extension based on marriage to a Thai woman, how long is the letter valid for?

Can I get it, say, today and apply in 7 days with it?

For Chaeng Wattana office in Bangkok.

Thanks.

Would be grateful for some advice or tips from those who have successful obtained their DTV and have a similar situation:

* husband and wife duo both between 60-70 y.o

* based on research soft power seems to be the way to go, does applying for the same activity matter or can it be different ones? (leaning towards culinary for one and medical tx for the other)

* for those that have secured the DTV via medical treatment, do you have recommendations for specific dental clinics or general wellness clinics that could help streamline the process?

Thank you

Entering for the first time with DTV. Do you need an onward flight ticket? Planning to buy a one way flight. TIA.

Must I print out the DTV visa PDF I received or can I just show it from the phone?

When I did for TDAC then I only showed from my phone at the immigration and they were fine with that.

Hello! How many days should i book and show proof of accompdation? I am doing muay thai dtv and applying in Hanoi. Also someane told me to book the cheapest hostel for 14 days and then cancel and show that and then book my own. I was wondering if my legit 5 day stay hotel will be sufficient for application. Thank you!

Quick question - I entered Thailand last week on DTV. Can I drive (legally) in Bangkok with a valid IDP or do I need to apply for Thai Drivers licence?

My passport expire 2028 and I recently got approved for the DTV. Now I’m stressed how to sort this out and if my DTV will be invalid and that I need to apply again once I renew the passport?

Honestly I don’t knew the passport number will change every time you renewing the passport. And my country only issue 5 years passports.

Hello All! Everything been smooth with DTV since I got it.

For 90 day report, my first one, Krabi immigration.

1. What do I need to bring?

2. I understand I must show up personally in the office (remotely send docs not possible?).

3. I have wife and two small kids 2 and 4. All with DTV. I read I can go myself and bring their docs. Or do we all need to travel?

Thank you Xperts!
