Anyone has experience switching DTV to Work visa? Will they cancel DTV if they issue work visa? I have a job offer but I don’t want to loose DTV.

Hi, I am completing one year on my DTV visa which is a soft power Muay Thai visa. I am thinking about switching from a Muay Thai course to Thai Language lessons.

Has anyone had any experience in switching their curriculum on the soft power DTV visa and is it feasible at all? How would that process go and would there be any difficulty at immigration on re-entry? thank you!

Can you switch from a DTV to a Business Visa? My partner and I are planning to open a bar, but want to do a few months of intensive Thai language classes while we scope out locations and business partners before we actually need the business and spouse visa. Considering whether a tourist visa (exemption - Australian) or soft power DTV is wiser? All advice welcome.

Hello I am currently holding a Non-B visa with WP, but I am looking to switch to a marriage visa non-O.

My question is, can I make the change without having to leave the country.

I am okay if the WP expires or cannot be renewed. Thank you.

I’m new to the Thai visa process and recently applied for the Non-OA visa. While rereading the requirements for the LTR Visa: Wealthy Pensioners, I noticed that I may qualify. Is it possible and advisable to apply for multiple visas? The LTR visa is processed through Bangkok instead of the Thai embassy in the US, which is my case. Can I apply for the LTR Visa while residing in Thailand, or should I apply before leaving the US? It seems that either way is possible.

Is there any harm in applying for the LTR Visa, even if things don’t work out?

Thanks.

Hi guys and apologise if someone has asked this already. Do you know if you can switch visas from work permit to DTV? And if so, is it still required to leave the country? Thanks!

Is it possible to switch from a Non-B as a company owner to a DTV after dissolution of company? If so, should I apply while in the country or leave for a determined amount of time and apply while outside of the country?
