So i am a little confused when applying for the non o visa on the thai e visa website, some have said that you do not need the health insurance for the non o (90 days) but when you pick the sub category (1 year extention ) retirement you need it . I thought you can go into thailand on the non o and do everything there within 90 days to get your non oa . So the wyestion is do i need the health insurance when applying for the 90 days non o or not.

What is the easiest route for soft power DTV approval?

My preference is the cookery classes, I understand you have to book a 6 month term to be approved? Does anyone have any reliable and affordable cookery places? Preferably in Bangkok or Chinag Mai?

And will a 6 month class suffice for the entire 5 year Visa?

Thanks!

As a German citizen, I have a non-O-retirement visa since several years. My annual extension of stay is May 7th. Is there a way to change it to February without having to go through the process of applying for a new visa?

My husband is applying for his dependent DTV visa - we have received conflicting information on the financial requirements and everything. The funds are in my bank account only. Do I need to show 1 million baht or 500k? I thought 1 million but now I've been told on multiple occasions 500k. We are applying from Jakarta. Any tips, general clarifications, shared experiences are welcomed and appreciated. Ty.

Accountant/bookkeeping DTV

Has anyone successfully applied for DTV as an accountant or bookkeeper?

Obviously would be remote working and not client facing.

I can get all the documents for a UK registered company and employment contract (I’m one do the directors and job role is accountant). 500,000+ in Bangkok Bank saving account for three months and 6+ months payslips from the company to UK bank account.

Was going to use an agent but the owner actually advised I do it myself. Currently on ED visa through them for a number of years. They were charging 65,000 baht and I think I would have been one of the first to use their DTV service with no guarantees it is accepted as per all agents.

Going apply for the DTV myself in Vientiane next month (only 180km drive from Khon Kaen) and really appreciate all the posts and advice on here.
