Residence certificate: Asking for my America tenant.

He would like to get the document from Immigration at Changwattana.

Does 90-day report suffice or need TM30 as well?

TIA!

Do i have to sign a long term home rental lease of 6 months or 1 year to qualify for my retirement visa? Siam legal said i need to sign long term to qualify. Someone else said i can get the visa with just staying in a hotel room? Any thoughts?

For the rental agreement for 1 year in Thailand. What exactly is needed? Just a lease agreement or do we need the official immigration paper like when we extend our visa at the Thai embassy.

Hi how does this rental agreement work if we are wishing to apply from outside Thailand for a DTV? I dont have a rental agreement because i need a DTV before i can find a house and rent for 6 months

Some help clarifying this please 🙏

Hello everyone!! I am applying for a DTV visa in the HCMC embassy or Hanoi consulate and would like to ask for some kind advice from you regarding my situation. I have my questions listed at the end of the post.

(This may be too long but I would really appreciate every comment as I tried to consult the agency before and they tried to raise up the price from 30K to 55K baht in two weeks. I’m stunned)

>Background (can skip this part when reading and come back for references)

⁃ I worked in Thailand as a salesperson from 2022 to early 2023 with a NON-B visa and a work permit. I quitted the job in the early 2023 and changed to 6-month Muay Thai visa, training Muay Thai.

⁃ After my Muay Thai visa ended in October 2023, I flew to visit home for a few months. I started working remotely as a salesperson at a company from the other country that is not Thailand and my home country in November 2023. The contract stated that my location was in Thailand, because I was renting a condo in Bangkok (The rental Contract is Aug2023-Aug2024) and did not want to get taxed in my home country. I usually receive my salary through WISE.

⁃ I came back to Thailand in January 2024 and proceeded to get an ED education visa. I had been working remotely with the ED visa until July 2024 as I took a career break. I am now applying for new jobs and will get one shortly.

>I am planning to apply at the HCMC embassy or Hanoi consulate at the end of this month.

Other than photos, passport copies and visa application form, my current documents include:

⁃ Cover Letter and CV: introducing myself, what I do

⁃ 7-month Bank Statement(Issued by the bank in my home country): amount equivalent to 500K baht (500K baht has been in my bank for half a month, not very much transaction going on this account either as I receive my salary through WISE and I have other Thai bank account opened since 2022)

⁃ Work Contract from November 2023

⁃ Rental Agreements in Thailand [One appeared in my work contract (Aug 2023-Aug 2024) and one I am residing now (July 2024-July 2025)

⁃ hotel booking in vietnam

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

>My questions include:

1. Are the HCMC embassy and Hanoi Consulate good choices or are there any more recommendable embassies or consulates?

2. Must the 500K baht equivalent be in the account for certain number of months for the HCMC embassy and Hanoi Consulate?

3. Rental Agreements (?): Should I attach any of them?

4. Pay slips (?): I would not attach them in the first place. Should the embassy later require it, I can attach my WISE pay slips but they will only show from Nov 2023 – July 2024. I will attach a letter explaining that I am taking an unpaid leave from July 2024-Now. Do you guys think this is a good idea or should I include this information that I am on an unpaid leave now since in the cover letter? Any advice please?

5. Bank Statement: Should I also attach a bank statement from a Thai bank? Many transactions in there were transferred from my WISE account, which I usually receive salary from.

6. Bank Guarantee (?): Should I request for one and attach it?

7. Tax Return (?) : I would not attach them in the first place. Should the embassy later require it, I can attach it but it will show that my salary has not been taxed.

8. Do you think it is a good idea to apply for the DTV visa now or should I wait until I can get a new job, and I can ask the company to issue me the letter guaranteeing that I am working remotely with them? Because now I only have work contract and I’m a bit panicked.

9. Should there be any more documents I can attach please?

Thank you so much for your contribution! Have a nice day 😊

Good morning everyone ☕

I'm a bit confused about 2 things regarding the extension of Non-O Visa based on retirement.

1. Do I have to wait till 30 days before the original visa stamp expires?

2. I cannot find anything about a rental agreement OR TM30 on the official website. Are they not required?

I'm living in Suratthani Province.

And one more thing: Might it be a problem if the address on the affidavit of monthly income doesn't match the current address? I'm planning to move, but already got the affidavit 🤷

Sorry...I might see problems where there are none. 😐

Can I get a 1 year apartment lease on the DTV? I Just got approved. Thank you

Sharing info

We got DTV via Ho Chi Minh City.

Made booking 2 weeks ago via thai embassy’s web in HCMC.

Submitted all documents Mon, 26 august. Received DTV Wed, 28 Aug.

DTV workcation requirement that we submitted:

- work contract agreement with mentioned eligible to work remotely

- 6 months bank statement with transaction details not less than THB 500k in foreign currency

- house rental agreement in thailand - which we provide willingly to indicate our current location

- photo

- copy passport

- form application that you can get it from the visa office/ print it via by downloading on web

- cost U$340 - make sure the money is smooth and new. They are very particular on it

Spouse of DTV workcation

- marriage certificate in english

- local identity that stated in the marriage certificate

- 6 months bank statement with transaction details not less than THB 500k in foreign currency

- photo

- copy pasport

- form

- cost U$340

Btw we also tried via Singapore before, but please noted its not recommended.

Even though it’s more organized that you can submit online, but the requirement more complicated on top of basic requirement, i.e:

- letter from company address to thai embassy in singapore

- company registration in registered country

Good luck!

Hi, similar to comment below about Non-O and non-B couple but different Q. We've just arrived. My husband (teacher) is getting a non-B I think from our current 90 days O types. I will be dependent spouse as couldn't move with my job, but want to work and thinking of setting myself up for DTV, then leaving country to apply when my current 90 days expires then coming back in if successful on it. We're about to sign a tenancy agreement in both our names. Is this fine or should we put it just in his name? Just wondering if going to be an issue to have a residential agreement with my name on it if I'm applying for DTV from another location...?

Regarding proof of residence, I suppose the condo rental agreement is acceptable.

I am already living in Thailand with an nonED visa by renting a condo with my name on the rental agreement.

The contract starts from April 2024.

To apply dtv, I would leave Thailand and apply elsewhere, may be Laos or Vietnam.

I was wondering if I can show that contract which started since April for the proof of residence.

Since the contract is since April, would it be an issue?

Should the contract be the month I would be in Thailand through Dtv visa?

Any suggestions please?
