I have a question about applying for the DTV visa I’m hoping someone may be able to answer. When we arrive we are staying in an Airbnb for a month until we find a place to rent. On the application they as “ accommodation type” would this be “guest house “ or “ private property?

Thank you

Hello

I returned to Thailand on a retirement visa with multi re-entry permit which expires April 2025. My address has changed but I am still in the same city where I received my retirement visa.

Do I or my landlord need to file a TM 30? I have been back a few weeks but have been traveling.

Thank you very much

If I changed to soft power such as education in a local university in Bangkok, but I couldn't confirm to stay for 6 months now.

Though there're 9 levels to complete the whole course, each level only lasts about 6 weeks and different levels can be done on different dates throughout the year as long as there're sufficient people in the class.

At the moment, I couldn't confirm is the course really suitable for me or not, hence I've paid for 1 level and booked a hotel for 3 months stay.

I'll consider to apply for the next level only after finishing the first level.

So if I changed my application to soft power, can I just provide 3 months stay in a hotel instead of renting an apartment for 6 months?

If you live with partner at her house and you do renewal visa what proof do you need if any apart from TM30

Hello dear DTV'ers,

I wish to share my experience as I hadn't read a clear guidance on what happens when we leave Thailand while on the DTV visa. Yes, we know that it's a multi entry visa, but here is the interesting twist that I can confirm ( At least from my experience).

I first arrived in Thailand on August 2nd, expiration date: January 28 2025. Then I left the country for about 10 days in October. Entered Thailand on October 16th...my new expiration date is April 13th 2025. I find this situation very interesting as we also have the choice of renewing once a year with immigration(we'll see how that goes). One question is still unanswered, 180 + 180 (renewal)= 360, if we choose this path, what happens with those 5 missing days to complete the year?

I hope that this post will help put a little light with this fantastic visa.

Cheers

Hi guys , I am new to this group, so sorry for reposting questions answered previously. I stay in Thailand and have a rental contract for a condo here, but would like to apply for the DTV . Can I use the contract with my name and address in Thailand for the DTV application or does it need to be an address outside Thailand? . I don’t have an address in my home country anymore. Thanks 🙏

Hello

Can you buy a car, bike with a DTV visa ?

90 days report completed yesterday.

My process:

- Went to Immigration Division 1 in Lak Si (I had initially tried Chamchuri Square, but they sent me to Lak Si).

- Once inside the building, immigration is on the right. Walk in, get a TM47 form from the first counter, and then queue at the counter inside.

- Complete the TM47 form.

- Wait (in my case 4h). You can scan the QR code on your queue ticket to get live updates.

- Receive the 90-day report slip. No questions were asked, although I noticed that the staff seemed a bit lost as they chatted a lot among themselves, likely because I was one of the first to go through this process.

Please note that this was my experience—your process might differ, and the immigration officer could ask for more information.

On my way to the LOS with my Soft Power DTV on a single ticket! Emirates wanted to see the Visa as it was a single ticket and surprised that it’s a 5 year expiry date! For info the sport I used to get the Visa is not on any list but I am going to be training in Thailand for months at a time. I needed a letter from the general manager of the sports club … and a copy of his passport along with my sporting CV. Granted in London in 5 days. It was a £300 gamble but I emailed the embassy first to ask if it was acceptable and they said apply. Very happy!
