Hello all! We are looking for people in a similar situation. Both my wife and I collect pension, roughly 284,000 THB per month combined, not including outside sources of income. We started working with Bangkok Buddy as a visa / travel agent, but after hours of research into the subject we are lost.

Quick bio of our situation, we are both U.S. Military Veterans with 3 children, we would like to put them in an international school, however we must figure out our visa situation before applying. Another thought that may be important to take into consideration with Visas, (having a Thai employee, aka Nanny). We are both in our 20’s so we don’t hit that 50yr mark quite yet lol.

For the expats in similar situations, did you stick to Thailand or move from country to country every 90 days? Please help us navigate this 🙏🏻 Thanks ya’ll!

I want to cancel DTV visa of my child.What documents need and I also want to know the process how to do?Can somebody tell me please ?

Thank you for accepting me to the group. I do have a question and couldn’t find the answer. For the retirement visa, will one of us have to have $24k or will each of have to have $24k in the bank? Thank you.

I’m debating whether to do soft power for cooking for my dtv or workcation since I work remotely but I’m not sure if my offer letter or employment contract specifically states that they don’t mind where I work but it does state that it’s a remote position. I could ask them for one but asking them to do anything in a timely manner is a joke. The offer letter/contract does specifically state I only have to be local for equipment pickup not sure if that matters. Any insight or advice would be appreciated. I also plan to get my 15 year old daughter a dependent dtv visa and I’m assuming I’ll wait until I’m approved then submit my approval with the same bank statements i am using along with her passport and passport photos. Will my drivers license, her learners permit, and a utility bill be enough for proof of address? I’m not sure if I’ll apply here in the US or wait until I go to Hanoi.

Has anyone here gotten their DTV visa but their dependent got it for a shorter period of time?

If so, did you find a way to work around that?

Hi, have any single parents applied for a dependent and could give some insight on the process ? I’ve read that I need a court order letter or a letter from the other parent stating they allow the dependent to travel without them.

Dad is on the birth certificate, but left when my kid was a few months old. No court order in place as he doesn’t want custody. For context I plan on applying in Vietnam.

Infant as a dependent — what did you guys use as proof of location?

Thanks 🙂

Got my LTR-P visa today. FWIW, it took six weeks for the BOI cert plus another two weeks for the e-visa approval (about 8 weeks total). For unknown reason (different screen / agent), my wife's dependent LTR approval was much faster, three weeks for BOI.

Question: I believe I need to print the e-visa for immigration, but should it be in color? (chatGPT says color is best)

Hello,

I work in Thailand as a teacher, I am Colombian. My mother, over 60 years old, would like to come and stay for 10 months. Because she is over 60 I am working towards her arriving on a Tourist visa and then applying for a dependant one here.

My plan is to buy a 10 month ticket but I fear the immigration officer will not allow her entry with that kind of ticket when our tourist visa is max. 90 days.

I have asked at the school I work in and they mention that I should just give her a copy of my visa, work contract and house contract but I am very worried it would not be enough.

Could someone please advice on the best way forward?

Applied for DTV dependant. They gave me non b instead. Happened to anyone?
