I'm currently in Thailand on a 60 day visa exemption undergoing long term medical treatment. Trying to decide if a DTV might be the best option for me over the next year or two. I kind of have a handle on what's required after reading here. I'm pretty sure I can qualify for the medical soft power since I have to see two specialists and purchase an injectable medication monthly. I also have labs scheduled in early March. Acccording to the doctors I have to take this medicine for the rest of my life.

I realize I have to leave the country and apply at an outside embassy. My question is which of the neighbor country embassies would be my best chance for the least hassles?

Hello everyone, im very close to sending in my application and I wanted to double check the part on page 2 with:

”is your permanent address your current address -yes/no”.

I’m a Swe nationality but live permanently in Portugal, I’ve included both addresses but not sure which one should be on top and I don’t want mess up my application on something that small.

Has anyone here done it with a nationality but different country permanent address ? What did you put there?

I’m applying for a multi non imm O in UK. I don’t recall the medical certificate necessary before. I have had this visa before. Is it necessary and how did you fulfill the requirements in UK?

Guys, I’m over the moon right now! 😭🎉 I finally got my visa today 4.40pm, January 17th! I started my application on Sunday, the 12th, in HMC, and after just one week, the long-awaited email arrived at 4:40 PM today! On Tuesday, they requested some additional details about my company (Workation with my own business), and that was it.

Thank you all so much for your help and support along the way! 🙏

Have you heard anything about the fact that if you are an employee, the company you work for remotely from Thailand should pay social security contributions to Thailand?

Edit: I finally managed to submit after starting a 3rd application. Fingers crossed !! 🤞

The preview of my birthday is auto changing to be incorrect. It is the 21st, not 22nd or 20th, as this sometimes displays. Has anyone else had this issue? I’ve deleted my first application only to encounter the same problem no matter how many times I go in and correct it. My fear is it will change when I pay and submit 🤦🏻‍♀️😭

Hi guys!

I just got my DTV approved, but my visa came back with my name switched. We koreans only have a first and last name, no middle name. So i didnt fill this part. DTV comes out with my first name backwards. And even beforehand i had sent emails to visathaiembassy.kl @gmail.com to no reply and when i went to the thai embassy here the Malay lady just shouted at me saying she cant do jack 😭🥹 does anyone know what can be done? Or does anyone know where i can get a reply from?

Thanks guys, love peace and harmony 🙏

Hi everyone and thanks to all the support in this group, it has been very helpful

Regarding the TM30. What is the process of reporting if I stay with friends in a town such as Hatyai or Phattalung?

Is there a portal where I can self report my location?

My DTV remote work visa was approved today after submitting extra documents Friday to the Kuala Lumpur Embassy. I am so relieved and grateful
