Hello everyone,

My fiancee and I are moving to Thailand in January and I’m hoping someone here can point us in the right direction regarding the DTV visa.

Over the past year my fiancée hasn’t been able to work due to health issues, so I’ve been the only earner. Because of that, we haven’t saved much.

I *can* show over 500,000 THB in income from the last 6 months through invoices, but I don’t currently have that amount liquid because I reinvest a lot back into my online business.

My fiancée has recently started a small freelance gig too, so we’re both digital nomads. Just without the full liquidity right now.

I read on a few websites that a sponsor can be used for the DTV visa. My father is willing to write a sponsorship letter for both of us (so 1M TBH in total), but I’m not sure if that’s actually allowed or accepted in practice, and if this specific case is an option.

Has anyone here used a sponsorship letter for their DTV application?

Any guidance or experience would help us a lot.

Thank you all in advance!

Hi, I’m on a Non-O visa. I usually keep 400k in my bank account throughout the year and use the surplus amount for my expenses. This year, I received a 1-month extension about 10 days ago, and I need to go again on December 1st for the 11-month extension.

The thing is, I want to withdraw around 50k, which will reduce the balance below 400k. Will this cause any problem when I go for my 11-month extension?

As far as I know, immigration asks for all documents during the 1-month extension, but for the 11-month extension, we only need to bring the passport. I just need some proper guidance on this issue. Thank you.

When i complete the TDA form

and leave now in November and revert finally in March but make a trip home over Christmas which date I put in the form?

The date in March or the temporary date home in december??

UK Visa free entry to DTV

Hi

I am flying to Thailand in January and plan to arrive using my 60 days free entry (tourist)

&& then flying out to apply for my DTV after the 60 days (might even extend to 90)

I have already asked if that’s ok and everyone replied yes, BUT when it comes to my application isn’t it going to flag that I have been working when I was in Thailand (on my tourist visa). As my invoices for my application will be within January-March

Will that show me breaking my tourist visa rules! ?

Hey guys 👋

Quick question - does anyone know if taking Thai language classes works to obtain the DTV visa?

If yes, do you have the name of a school that’s part of the official program?

Would really appreciate any tips or personal experience 🙏

Hi everyone,

Is it mandatory to attach flight tickets and hotel booking proofs, or is it acceptable to simply mention the intended stay address in the application form? Also, since I’m currently residing in a different city from the address on my passport, would a rental agreement work as valid proof of my current residence?

Would really appreciate any guidance from those who’ve recently applied. Thank you! 🙏

I am from UK, and some say I may need a police DBS criminal record clearance for certain visas , I have a physical copy of my UK DBS from 2019 , which Is obviously all clean, but after 2019 , I registered my DBS on the online update service ,so you pay a yearly fee for it to be online for ever if you wish to do so, this is so any employer or who ever needs it can access it online , so no print out Is required no more , they are doing away with paper work as digital is the future, so my question is do I just give thailand my permission to view the DBS through the UK goverments online system. Just wondering if Thailand are this up to date yet ? And if not what have I got to do, I can't go to DBS criminal check people and say I need a new certificate as I can't see them issuing it, there is no point to issue me one they will think it's very odd and this may raise concerns like I am trying to get duplicate copies to forge or something ?

OK, I would welcome all thehelp/advise I can get. Here is where I am currently at. I have retired, I'm 64. I am at that miserable stage where I am trying to liquidate all my belongings. I'm also getting my financial situation ready too. I'm not concerned with the financial obligations required. I have no problem putting 800,000 baht into an account,and my monthly social security deposit is more than the 65,000 baht required. so, what retirement visa should I apply for? FYI, I'm from the USA. I currently do not have health insureance, so I am looking for a visa that doesn't require it. Also, how far back does the background check go? I'm good for 20 years. Please help me get this going. In addition, how far ahead do I apply meaning how long does it normally take to get approved? Lastly, after getting approved, how long do I have to go before it expires?

Thanks BV
