I have a question about the extension of my DTV visa.

In my passport I have my visa stamped until April 1, the 90 days report says it expires on March 26 and I am moving on March 21 into my new apartment that I have rented.

I have asked the landlord about the TM30 and it may take 1 week after I signed the contract on March 20.

So I will most likely have it before the 26th. I also know that I have up to 7 days from the 26th for the 90 day report.

My questions are:

1. Should I wait until I have all the paperwork (contract and tm30 of the apartment) and do the DTV extension before April 1?

2. Or do I report the 90 days previously with the current hotel tm30 and then do the extension? (I asked this because I know I can do it 15 days prior).

3. And if I just do the extension, the 90 days report would not be necessary, right?

Thanks for any advice what best to do 😊

Hello everyone. I’m a DTV holder and about to make 90 days report. Some agents asked for the TM 7 form which I’d never seen before. I’d also visited Vietnam after I got in with DTV. And no one gave me such document at the airport😅. The last time I got into Thailand with DTV was in November.

May I know is that possible to make 90 days report without TM 7 form?

Hello, i made an appointment to get a thai motorbike license, on my appointment it says "Training 5 hours in office", is this part of the test? I been there 2 times already, the staff doesn't speak english and i'm afraid we misunderstood each other...

Thank you in advance.

Hi guys,

I’ve had a look online but nothing seems clear,

Is it possible to stay in Thailand more than 90 days without having to leave the country and come back ?

I currently live in the Philippines and you can stay there for 3 years, was wondering if there’s anything similar here.

I have a British passport.

Thank you 🙏🏼

Hi everyone,

It’s hard to find answers online but for the online Thai visa do I need one 4X6 passport photo and one of me holding my passport? It’s so confusing online. Thank you

Hi we will be arriving into Thailand in a few weeks. We are UK Citizens and have been travelling Indonesia so we will be entering on the 30 day visa free entry. We would like to look into applying for a retirement visa but are so confused on which one to apply for. We are both over 50 not drawing on a pension yet but do have enough savings in the bank. Any help will be greatly appreciated. 😀

My husband and I, both US citizens and both over 50, will be moving to Thailand very soon and plan to apply for the Non-O visa. Regarding the bank account, will we both need separate accounts each with 800,000 baht?
