Looking for constructive feedback on my prepared portfolio index below. Will be traveling at the weekend to HCMC to apply for DTV Freelance. Anything missing or too much info?

Hi Group, for Retirement visa renewal if I am using Embassy letter as proof of income do I still need to provide bank statements and update bankbook etc on renewal date?

Secondly does anyone has any tips or advice on visiting the Nonthaburi Immigration Office? I tried getting a check list there but they don't have one and all they said was same as last year but i dealt with another IO last year. I am wondering what their pictures requirement is specifically.

Finally is making an online appointment useful there? I will make one in any case 😬

TIA šŸ™šŸ»

Hey there! If you’re in HCMC, Vietnam solo waiting for your DTV visa before heading back to Thailand and feel like hanging out, drop a comment and I’ll DM you. Would be great to meet up for coffee or dinner—just a small group, maybe 3–4 people. Cheers!

Hello. Question related to the 90-day report and the retirement visa. Is it true that the people who hold a retirement visa don't need to do the report? Asking because, as far as I understand, all the foreigners must do it.

Thanks in advance.

Good morning. I'm in between work permits and need to do a border run while we sort out the paperwork for a non-b. Is one night in Pedang Basar, Malaysia, enough, or should I book two nights?

How are exchange rates dealt with usually? If I transfer the equivalent of 500k THB in another currency to a bank account and the currency depreciates against the THB over the next 3 months until I will apply for the DTV will they use the exchange rate at the time of application for every historic month or will they use the exchange rate for each month so I have a chance to top up the account to cover for currency fluctuations during these 3 months?

Alternatively do they allow using bank statements from several banks for the application so I can add a statement from another bank as well if needed to get up to 500k THB?

I went to the Canada Thai embassy website. The website said a doctors physical filled out sheet stating good health about various things about you is necessary. Did I read it wrong?
