I'm getting started as a freelancer and I have about 700,000 Baht in the bank. Do you think if I have a registered business, portfolio, website, but not much freelance income, I would be denied the DTV for the freelance path? Or should I go the soft power route?

visited a couple of banks and it seems that it’s impossible to get a bank account with a holding DTV now. the staff mentioned they are much stricter and only with a letter of employment / retirement visa are you allowed to open an account

not sure if anyone had any success?

Some advise please on the new visa requirements.

I plan on staying in Thailand for 3 to 6 months then returning to the UK for 1 month then flying out to again for another 3 to 6 months, could this be done on a Tourist Visa or would i need a 1 year single / multiple entry Visa

Any advice would be welcome

Hello, can anyone help to answer some questions?

I see that immigration has changed the policy lately. I’m only allowed to do 2 visa runs per year, is it true?

I’ve done 3 visa runs in 2025. If I apply for a DTV now, would I be rejected due to the visa run history?

Does anyone have an experience registering a motorcycle on DTV? If so, can you detail your process and the required documents?

Thanks 

I’m upgrading my True Money account so I can scan to QR etc.

I’ve used the Non Immigrant Non Worker Passport and submitted a photo of my DTV stamp and DTV that I have printed out.

Is this enough or do I need to submit anything else?

Thanks in advance

I am coming to Thailand for the first time this year i plan on useing a 60 date vida exempt for about 66 day then going to the philippines for about 10 days then hopefully getting another 60 day visa exempt my question is would that count 1 for 2025 and one for 2026 or I won't be able to do that

90 Day Report query: seeking clarification on my TM30 form. Is it necessary that the form is dated very recently? I have sought AI clarification but it’s not conclusive. Basically I’m a DTV holder, have left Thailand and been granted my usual further 6 months but need to do another 90 day report, obvs. Tried the online process but it’s not permitted as it’s the first 90 day report since my second or third entry in to Thailand. My landlord gave me the TM30 form but it was dated from 13th November -does anyone know if this will be rejected because it needs to be more recent than that?

TIA

This is the best written article I have seen on the new Visa Exempt rules.

The DTV is not effected but some reports of agents/border trying to charge same-day fees to DTV holders.

Do not hold off applying for DTV if currently relying on Visa Exempt and want to change.

Hello everyone!

I’m new to the group, and was super thrilled to find so many of you posting and referencing so much helpful information!

I have a question I hope I can get clarification on.

This is specifically for the DTV soft power culinary schooling. 

I have my funds in a high yield savings account with Wealthfront and I have access to funds between this account and my personal Wells Fargo account with immediate transfers between the two.

My question is, can I submit the 3 months statement required of my Wealthfront account for proof of funds? Or, does it have to be in my personal checking account?

I really appreciate all of you for taking the time out to read this, and providing me with any helpful information!!

Thank you!! 🙏🏼
