I'm doing my DTV application now. And I have accommodation with the muay thai gym I go for the soft power visa.

So, in the section where you put your accommodation, I have one night in Bangkok, then the day after, I will travel to the city where the gym is and have three nights' accommodation somewhere else before I go to the gym.

I only have 2 accommodation types I can fill in.

What is best to do? Skip the second accommodation in the form and just do Bangkok and then the gym?

Hope you understand my question.

I will be retiring to Krabi in July. Can anyone recommend an area in Krabi where I can live close enough to access to street food but still have a place that feels like I am living immersed in nature.

Ps. If this is not the appropriate forum for this question. Can you please recommend a group where this question would be relevant. Thanks again. 😊

I have to fill out my form tomorrow do you guys no if I have to show proof of leaving country and I arrive ye 9th but only have hotel booked from the 15th will I have to book hotel for the 9th until the 15th to be accepted

I'm living in Bangkok on a DTV and going to Hanoi for 5 days and want to purchase Allianz travel insurance; do I purchase the policy through the US web site, the Thai web site, or does it matter ?

We are interested in coming to Thailand long term from Canada, and curious what visa is best to arrive on. We are mid 30s, have a few rentals as our main source of income.

We will be enrolling our daughter in an international school in Phuket and

We also want to start up our dog business there.

What would be correct visa for us to apply for ?

I was thinking the guardians visa from the school as I’ve heard they assist with getting it but unsure if I can open/run a business on this visa?

Any recommendations for good visa agencies in either Bangkok or Phuket that could help us?

Thanks 😊

Da Nang or Penang?

I read on a website that you need a police check from your home country to get a retirement visa. Thats the first time I’ve read that and wanted to check that’s correct? Also wanted to check if anyone who has gone through the process got one before going to Thailand?

Are you allowed to live in Thailand for 5 years with a DTV visa if you leave Thailand every 180 days?

This group was helpful when i prepared my application so i wanted to return the favor and share my experience with applying for DTV in phnom penh, cambodia.

I am a self employed developer and so I applied for workcation on Friday march 28 around 9pm. Visa approved today April 11. Exactly 14 days (2 weekends included) from application to approval.

I was previously on a spouse extention for 3 years and before that on ed visas. This seems to have not been an issue at all.

I was not asked for anything extra. My visa status was updated to "pending approval" on march 31 (first day after the weekend) and then went to "Approved" today. No news or changes in between.

Documents submitted:

I am a bit of an over preparer so I spend a good 4 days preparing 3 pdfs. Each pdf had a clickable table of contents and I highlighted a lot important information.

1. Proof of location.

- Scan of passport stamp arriving in cambodia

- I asked for payment receipt in the hotel and included it.

- Also included my e-boarding pass to cambodia

- added a cover letter to explain I flew from Bangkok to cambodia and that I understand I have to stay in cambodia until I receive a decision

2. Proof of financials

I flew out of Thailand on the same day that I applied for the visa. Flew in the afternoon and applied in the evening. Before leaving thailand, I went to kbank branch and asked for signed statements and a signed cover letter stating I have 500 000 baht in the account on the same day as the application. I provided 4 months statement but only 1 good month had the 500 000 in it. Before that the balance was just over 100 000. I do use the bankaccount daily or so they can see that.

- Signed and stamped bank statement from thai kbank

- signed and stamped cover letter from kbank

- payslips covering the same 4 months of the statement

- a coverletter in which I explain where my money comes from and also included a currency conversion table so they easily could understand the payslips in euro vs the bank statements in baht.

3. Proof of business.

I included a 27 page pdf to proof I have my own company. This pdf included:

- Coverletter of almost 3 pages.

- Employment contract to myself, signed by myself and it stated that I am allowed to work remote which I also highlighted.

- Proof of business incorporation in estonia.

- Result of my company financials of the last 5 years.

- Portfolio overview with a lot of screenshots and explanations and links to online sites to proof everything I was saying.

- Screenshots of my website and customer testimonials.

Super smooth for me in cambodia. Just have to be aware that it will take around 2 weeks. If you are fine with that then cambodia seems like the place to apply from.

Cheers.

Hello, we are a family of 4 thinking of doing a DTV. We are hesitating between Jakarta and Cambodia. We'll only have 500,000 baht for a few weeks for the whole family, which seems to be ok for Jakarta but not sure about Cambodia. Has anyone applied with the same type of situation or anyone knows if Cambodia would be ok with us having 500.000 baht for a few weeks for my husband, our 2 kids and me?
