Instead of DTV I got a Multiple entry tourist visa from Hanoi. I provided 4 months of banks statements with 1mil THB, income of 700K+ in 2025, 6month muy thai course from a reputable gym. I saw a guy (girl?) approved today in Hanoi with a weaker application than mine (1 month course, 3 month bank statements, no income). Make it make sense.

edit: I am going to delete this post in a couple of days since I can see only negative things coming my way. I just made it to vent mainly but also to offer something back to this group.

Could I get advice on the best visa to be able to stay for 6 months

Hi All

I'm finishing up working in Thailand, so my non-imm B visa will be cancelled.

I plan to travel for a few months then come back for retirement.

Wondering if it is easier/better to come back on a tourist visa and do the retirement visa process, or sort it out before travelling?

Also, most of my Thailand funds are in stock and crypto, are those account balances accepted for the 800k, or will I need to take some out and deposit it in a regular bank?

Thanks in advance for responses 🙏

Friends, for general ease is it better to get the long-term visa in the home country? Or in Thailand itself. I don’t have any sort of monthly guaranteed income but I can satisfy that ฿800,000+ bank deposit requirement if needed. Currently, I’m home in my country. What’s a better option? Canadian

Hi, I am new to this group.

My wife and I are arriving in Thailand Oct 18 and plan to stay in Hua Hin for 6 months.

The Thai embassy in Canada said I need a non immigrant multiple entry visa good for 6 months, 60 days at a time. Cost of visa $325 Canadian /person.

Any other options or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Entered successfull with my DTV

For those who’ve applied for a remote work DTV, did the embassy verify your documents directly with your employer, or was a signed letter sufficient?

Thanks,

So I've decided to go for a retirement non o visa, I'm 66 in December and been advised from a lot of people on here and else where that a bronze elite visa at my age was stupid, I'm flying out to Thailand for good at the start of December, when is the best time to start my application,is it too early to start and send it off now,

Hi all.

Ideally, I'd like to stay in Thailand for 90days. Travel to a different country via air (Japan) or potentially land (Vietnam/Laos), back to Thailand, and repeat. How many times is this actually allowed in a 12-month period?

I'm a UK citizen and will be travelling to Thailand on Monday, 8th Sept with my 13y/o son. We have a house in Hua Hin yet never stayed for longer than 90 days in any 12-month period. The visa thing always boggles my mind and I've been to Thailand a fair few times now so apologies if this has already been asked. I did try the search funtion but I'm possibly not using the correct key words :/

Hey if you’re on a DTV can you change to a retirement visa Non O during the 5 years? TIA
