Hi! Thank you for welcoming me into your group. I am a therapist in MA and looking to move to Thailand around this time next year with the plan to work remotely with my current clients. I am a single mom with a daughter who will be graduating from high school next year. As I continue to do my research, I was told that the best visa option for me to pursue would be the DTV as it would allow me to work remotely and remain in the country longer before having to renew. Along with the other requirements, is this the best course to pursue? Thanks.

I am 51 from the UK. Struggling a bit to secure a job in Chiangmai - all English teaching jobs require a degree (which I don’t have) plenty of other qualifications including TEFL and over 20 years experience working with children. Not easy to secure work. Any ideas for work, visas etc to get me there as quickly as possible. Any help or advice much appreciated

Hello, I have a DTV visa that I need to get stamped outside of Thailand.

So I'm going to Ranong in 3 days to do this, but I'm hearing two conflicting options.

One comes from a local who offers his services for 2,600 baht with the speedboat that departs from Ranong Pier, including the Myanmar visa fee.

The other version says there's no visa on arrival, and that I have to apply for an e-visa online, which takes a maximum of 3 days to receive by email.

Which version is correct, please?

Thank you for your answers.

I live in Siem Reap and I’m limited to two land crossing per calendar year.

What visa can you suggest.

I travel mainly for medical

Thanks

What does this group think about the Thailand Privilege Card? Is it worth the cost? Or overpriced and not worth it?

I’m 50, retired, and pensioned. I want to apply for a Visa in Thailand but I’m not sure of the best route to take. The plan is to retire in Thailand and live long-term. Any informed advice is appreciated. Thank you! 🙏🏼

My wife was a teacher here in the past, but had to leave her job due to a health issue a few months ago. She has been on a medical visa for these few months, but, her health all mended, her visa expires 1 April.

She has been here on her US passport, but she also has a Brazilian passport.

I am retired here on a non-O.

My question is this: what are her alternatives for staying here until she can land in a new teaching position? When we first arrived here many years ago she was my trailing spouse, then later a student, then later on a work visa. Alternatives I see are leaving and then returning as a tourist, or bringing her back under my visa.

Any ideas that I'm missing? Thanks in advance!

Been doing a bunch of research and I’m struggling to figure out the right type of (long-stay) visa since we don’t fall neatly into any category.

Basically, I’m retired with a pension and some other passive income, but not yet 50 so the retirement visa isn’t an option. I don’t have a business, don’t plan to work for someone remotely, and ain’t about to put this beat up body through Muay Thai — so I don’t know if DTV is the right option either.

Any insights into what would work best for someone who just wants to live in Thailand until age-eligible for the retiement visa would be greatly appreciated! 🙏🏽
