When applying for DTV, what address should I put in Thailand? I only have a hotel booking for the first 3 weeks but don’t have an apartment rented yet.
I'm currently in Thailand and will be returning to Australia on the 4th of November. My house in Australia has been sold and settlement is the 27th of November. Can l apply for the Non- 0 visa as soon as l return. I don't have the 800,000 baht in my bank until the 27th. Can I still apply or do I have to wait until money is in account.
London consulate, how long is the process taking at the moment? I’m due to arrive in Phuket on 11th November and I’ve been waiting 2 weeks now for approval. Is this normal? I heard they were sorting visas in just a few days…
After reading about 18 dozen webpages, I am surprisingly confused about the proper Thai immigration procedure for changing one's address. I'm sure I'm the first.
I'm moving from one place to another in Chiang Mai city. The majority of websites suggest I need:
TM28
TM30
Passport photocopies
Lease photocopies
However other people say the TM28 is no longer needed, others say you do it all online, etc.
Ok I’m coming to Bangkok on the 22nd or so of October for 3+ weeks, have a plan of sorts - I’m coming on the standard tourist visa as I plan to leave on the 16th of November. I want to find a decent 1bed 1 bath place near 24 if possible. I don’t work, I’m a day trader/swing trader so I make fast cash and then chill. Is the ability to show the Thai visa agency’s say an $80k USD realized gain in my account a good enough piece to get either a retirement visa (50 in December) or a remote worker visa? If not, if my plan is to come for a few weeks then back to US for a month or two then another month in Bangkok and so on doable 100% on the free tourist entry each time?
Have to do it like this till my son is 18 and graduated since he wants to remain in the US and I have a desire to not be in the US anymore 😆
Hello everyone, I’m flying to Bangkok on the 15th and staying for a month . I’m not just going for vacation but to see if I would like to live there. If so, how long does it take to get a visa and can I stay there while I wait?
In view of on-going Bangkok Bank problems, I am thinking of opening another account elsewhere. Despite having lived at the same address for over a decade, nothing is in my name. So, how do I prove my address? Is a Thai driving licence sufficient? Seem to recall something about a yellow book. Is that an answer? Something from Immigration, despite them never having visited?
