Hi, I am needing advice and guidance please.

My daughter is S.A and has been residing and working in Thailand for 2 years.

She is wanting me to go and reside with her. She will be supporting me.

She has been advised that I can apply for a Non Immigrant 0 visa.

1. What documents is required and do I need a Thai Visa.

2. How long is the process

Many thanks

Hi - and apologies in advance, if this has been asked before:

Has anyone here been able to obtain either a DTV or LTR (non-retirement) as a sole trader and investor?

If so, could you DM with the details of the legal practice used (if any)

Many thanks in advance,

Steph

Hello, what’s the longest I can stay/visit Thailand in the course of a calendar year? I’ve been twice in 2025 for nearly 6 weeks so far but returning in October for 5 weeks in a row.

Will this be an issue for me?

TIA for any guidance.

Hello,

My husband and are are planning a move to Thailand. We plan on spending 5-6 months in a row in the country each year.

We are US citizens

We make 2,000 a month (social security)

We have 210K USD in savings

My husband is 69 years old

I am 39 yrs old.

We currently live in France.

We are planning on purchasing a rental property that will increase our income to 4,000 USD per month.

Can we get a DTV as retired people?

My apologies in advance if this question has already been asked… With a retirement, non-immigration O visa, is international health insurance required? I’m getting conflicting information From what I’m reading online and what I’m hearing from an immigration consultant. Online it says that I have to have it, but my consultant tells me no.

I have my retirementy visa and have to "check in" at 90days which I understand I can do online, can anyone point me to the exact area on the immigration website to do this please. IF I have to visit immigration in person, what do I need to have with me? Thanks in advance.

Applying for my DTV Visa from Ho Chi Minh next week.

Do they ask for Travel / Health Insurance? I currently have SafetyWing and I'm wondering if it's sufficient or if they will ask for documentation.

Hi all, so I have a friend his visa got denied, he’s Nigerian. The email they sent didn’t state the reason.

What’s the best possible solution for him? Because he had submitted all the necessary documentation, and even went for a physical interview.

Can his visa get an appeal or what can he do about it? Thank you all
