I am getting ready to retire to Thailand early next year to live with my long term Thai partner in Phetchabun. We will be living in a house currently owned by her brother and will buy this house in her name as soon as I sell my house in the UK. I will be in Bangkok on holiday shortly and am looking for recommendations for someone there that my partner and I can go and talk to get advice on various issues. They must be able to talk Thai and English for us both to understand what we need to do.

For the application, do you have to submit hotel booking for your stay in Thailand under dtv? What if you plan to stay the first few days in a hotel while searching for a condo to rent?

Not sure if this has been asked before as I can’t find with search.

If my DTV is approved can I apply do motorbike lessons and get a Thai motorbike licence? I do not have a motorbike licence from my home country as I have never needed one at home.

just a recap:

-before flying to Thailandia i need to fill online the tdac

-when i rent my condo I need the t30 receipt from the landlord

- before 90 days staying I need to go to the immigration office to fill the t90 (after the first time it's possible to fill it online).

anything else bureaucratic to do?

thanks

Hello, just wondering if anyone here has any experience with studying Thai on an education visa ? —- would love to find out more and all about it ..

And also wondering if anyone would see any reason for it to be a problem for me if….

I’m booked to be in Chiang Mai in December for 4 weeks on a holiday visit … but then I’m really looking into wanting to come back in 2026 hoping/dreaming / looking into taking a gap year never took ( 38 now lol ) and living in Chiang Mai for a year as a bit of a adventure … was thinking of emersing myself in Thai culture and learning thai on a education visa hopefully 🤞🏼 that’s my idea so far but doing the research now … as I’d love to be out of melb Australia by next winter I’d love to be over there by June …. Would anyone foresee me running into any difficulties if I was there for 4 weeks in Dec 2025 and then hoping to go back more long term day end of may /June next year??? I don’t know if they will be like why are you back etc… haha I just love Chiang Mai I’d love to do this adventure and love abroad for a year … crazy scary but also life is short and I need a big shake up it feels . …

Also I’m no digital nomad so don’t see that I can go down that route ….

Hi, what proof of residence can I submit for my 6-month-old daughter? She doesn't have a driving license or ID apart from a passport.

Hi Guy's, hope you are all having an awesome day.

My question is about the 90 day check in, I need to do my first one in the next few days. My condo lease just ended so I'm currently looking for another one at the moment. Do I need a tm30 for the check in?
