Was told by a fellow DTV holder that as long as you leave the country after 6 months, the 6 months gets reset

the way i read it, was that it is 6 months out of a year we get on a DTV but he seemed to think it just renews as long as you leave the country even if you have already stayed 6 months

interested to see if this is the case, great result if so but not how I have read it

Hi, still a bit confused about the second 90 days report. I did my first one in Phuket. I am due to do my second 20th of April. I want to travel a round in Thailand and also do one week in Vietnam. Can I do the report from the closest Immigration office? Think I will be in BKK before I fly home or if I leave for Vietnam for one week, there is no need to report? And when I re-enter for a week or two before leaving, will I be stamped in as visa exempt or a DTV 180 days? If so, will it effect number of days next time I want to come back. Possibly stupid questions but would like to be law abiding even though I still do not fully understand the rules.

My wife and kids are on Digital Nomad DTVs, our 90 day report is coming up in a month, I was wondering if I can do it for all four of us or must we all physically show up? Has anyone ever done this? Thanks!

Hello,

My Non-B work visa expires on 18 January 2026. I have an immigration appointment booked for 9 January to renew it.

Is it okay to apply for a visa extension so close to the expiry date? Are there any risks or penalties if documents are complete?

First of all, thank you to everyone who is helping.

I would like to clarify the bank balance requirement for the DTV visa application. Do I need to show that during the past three to six months I consistently maintained a balance of over 500,000 THB?

At the moment I have a higher amount in my current account, but in previous months the balance was lower because I invest my funds and do not keep large amounts in the bank on a regular basis.

Could this situation affect the approval of my application?

Hello. I'm looking to understand if it's possible to get a DTV visa based on a vegan cooking course. If anyone knows of such a course. How do I know for sure that the course gives me what I need for a visa. How much minimum time is needed. And if I have to renew the course every time or is one time enough to get a 5-year visa?

Thank you 🙏

When having obtained a 12 month extension based on marriage to a Thai, With multiple entry, can I leave Thailand for 7 months (family reason) then return to Thailand say one month before the next 12 month renewal process starts again?

As a second question, is it possible to convert to a DTV whilst in Thailand from a marriage visa?

Just got my DTV application rejected by the Warsaw embassy. The reason was "

* The Thai Culinary Course, with a total duration of 6 months and only 20 hours of culinary training, does not meet the requirements for the DTV visa. The limited course frequency and intensity are insufficient to support an application*.*

What is meant by "Letter of qualification endorsement issued from the Thailand Board of investment. (Point 4 visa application) The applicant can apply for the letter .

Is this something new?
