Hi y’all I’m new to the group and I was wondering what the rules were regarding the 15k needed to be approved for the Digital Nomad Visa. I’m considering borrowing half of this amount to get the visa and then paying the half back after - would this work or will I need to show proof of 15k in my account for the entirety of my stay there? Thanks appreciate any advice!

DTV 180 day rule....

At the 180 day point, does the Holder leave Thailand for a week or so, then re enter for another 180 day days? ..and repeat for 5 years.

Or,

Is the Holder only allowed 180 days per 365 day year (5 periods of 180 in 5 years) so must leave for a long period before returning?

Thanks

Maybe a silly question but dose a 1 day overstay effect me getting a retirement visa ?

Hi, I have a DTV visa, however my passport is due to expire within 1 year. So, I was thinking of getting the passport renewed.

But I'm worried would it cause any problems as I haven't used the visa yet, or carrying the blank new passport with the old one suffice.

Thanks 😊

Looking for some advice. I plan to apply for a DTV from the UK, as I plan to go to Thailand in late September 2025.

Timing wise, from when should I be applying for a DTV?

Assuming the DTV is approved, is it correct that I need to go to Thailand within 90 days of the approval?

Thanks in advance.

After coming in and out of Thailand for over a year I via tourist visa, just got stopped and pulled at dmk immigration and questioned that it's illegal to use a "free visa" for longer term (I corrected them and said exempted). Now they won't let me in again with this visa type anymore. It seemed they just started doing questioning more and more people. I will need to get a different visa type going forward in order to continue my stable relationship with my Thai gf. The pressure and intensity of authority they are going with is really. It felt to me like they are trying to find things to pressure people to do dtv or Similiar.

Hey guys 😎

If you leave Thailand without canceling your education visa in Phuket (1st year) & return on Tourist visa.

Will you have any problem getting your 2nd education visa in Hua Hin?

I believed by exiting Thailand, the current visa cancels but then I heard it doesn't unless you cancel it so just looking for clarification.

Thank you 🙏
