Hi everyone,

⭐️ ADDED

Thanks everyone for the insights, it’s really appreciated.

For us, it’s not about needing the income, I genuinely enjoy grooming and would love the opportunity to share that skill, help train people, and give others a pathway into it.

Also, just a gentle note, while most comments have been helpful, a few have come across very rude. We’re simply asking questions and learning, so kindness goes a long way ⭐️

We’re starting to plan a semi-retirement move to Thailand and currently own a dog grooming business.

I’ve noticed there are a few boarding kennels around, but I’m curious about the demand for grooming services and do you think it’s something that’s needed? Would really appreciate any local insight or experiences 😊🐾

Is there a resume’ or additional personalised note submission for soft power applications? I am at step 4 at online submission. So far it did not ask me for justification but only asked for documents upload.

It would’ve been better for clarity if I could explain and justify my previous stays in Thailand and why I am switching to DTV

Hoping to get some help/guidance with my prospective DTV.

I've been looking into ways where I can live and work from Thailand, I hit every qualifying point on the LTR visa except the minimum individual income requirements, I don't make $80,000 USD per year individually myself.

The DTV seems like the way, except it seems a bit confusing or I've been getting some contradicting information on it:

• I live and work in Canada currently (Canadian Passport Holder)

• My company trades on a major stock exchange and is headquartered in USA. It does allow me to work remotely.

• The company I work for has "entities" and cost centers it can open from various locations globally where it can allow me to transfer to and work from.

• Although I don't yet have $22,000 CAD saved to show in my bank (500K THB equivalent), I should be able to come up with this in short order - likely by April.

The issue or contradicting information I'm running into is whether I'd be able to qualify for the DTV based on my company credentials. As mentioned above, the company has "global entities" and cost centers they would open up for various locations globally. Currently the company does have a position they could transfer me to and have me work from the APAC (Asia-Pacific) Region. They would open a "cost center" for me in Thailand, and essentially I would be getting paid in THB while working remotely in Thailand. This is where I believe the trouble is, as in order to qualify for the DTV, the income I'm making would need to be coming from _outside_ of Thailand - is this correct? And if so, what signifies or defines that exactly? Income sent to my Canadian Bank account (regardless of what currency it's being deposited as)? A work certificate stating that I'm a Canadian citizen working for a USA corporation being paid in Canadian dollars versus THB?

I probably didn't explain the situation as best as I could here so please feel free to ask any clarifying questions to help guide me along with this 😊

I will also use this time to ask for any leads to a well respected agency that could help with my DTV application if anyone knows - thank you in advance!

I'm a DJ planning to play at some commercial and non commercial events in Thailand. Do I need to apply for any type of work visa? Even if I choose not be paid?

Thanks

NON-IMMIGRANT O VISA, DEPENDENT CHILD, UK.

Hello, I'm confused and needing advice because I cannot get confirmation from my employer atm.

I'm a teacher and am applying for the e-visa, Non-Imm B, from the UK. I have a 5yr old child who is coming with me. Do I apply for their Non-Imm O visa online beforehand? Is there a section to add their visa onto my profile? When I arrive my employer mentioned they'll need her birth certificate for something to do with my work permit. I'm just so confused at the moment. Thanks! 😊
