I submitted my DTV application yesterday and put my arrival date in Thailand as 25/10/24 because my doctors appointment slip is for 1/11/24.

That only allows 2 weeks between my lodgement and when I say I'm intending to arrive in Thailand.

Is that enough time? Very confident I've provided all documents to approve it but you never know of course.

Canberra Embassy in Australia.

I got DTV today at the Thai embassy in Yangon, Myanmar. The first time it was rejected because there was no labor office stamp. After a month, I was able to apply again as a director 😁😁😁

I applied as the main applicant for myself and as a spouse for my wife.

Both don't even have to go. I went to submit the form alone. I answered the interview alone at 2 pm and paid USD800. The visa can be obtained within three working days.

The documents posted

For the main applicant myself

- cover letter

- Company Certificate

- Company Extract Form

- Meeting Minutes (In the minutes of the meeting, wrote that all directors know and support that I will be working in Thailand, the business is an e-commerce model, so most of the directors are working remotely, and that the office will issue a recommendation letter for DTV visa application, and signed the names of all directors)

- Recommendation Letter (paraphrase the information from the meeting minutes and signed by a director)

- COMPANY business profile (I added it to impress. I took a screen shot of the company website and Facebook page and added it.

- I showed the 500,000 baht with a 6-month statement from Bangkok Bank. The 500,000 baht was added to the account a week before.

- Certificate of residency

The documents submitted for the Spouse

- Marriage contract and notary

- Sponsorship Letter (I wrote that when did we get married, how important is it to live with me, and how do I take responsibility for her livelihood and health)

- I added 500,000 baht to the woman's Kasikorn Bank Account. (This makes it more impressive. A sponsorship letter is enough.)

- Certificate of residency and notary

- My passport copy

The interview is casual. Tell me your favorite places in Bangkok, that's all.

that's all. It's not difficult. It's easy. Apply yourself.

Hi,

I am confused as to what visa to apply for. Various agents have told me different one's and quoted me different prices. I wish to live in Thailand with my Thai girlfriend who owns her own house in Udon Thani but visit England at least 4 times per annum. I have listed below my current status.

UK citizen

Aged 72

Owns home in UK

£5000 in the bank

£1900 per month pension

Can anyone recommend a good, English speaking agent?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

DTV and 90 day reporting. So I got the DTV at the weekend. Planning on Dec - Apr in LOS, but wondering if I also have to go to an immigration office to do a 90 day stay or is that only for those on retirement visas? Unfortunately no mention of 90 day requirement on the DTV. I'll be staying with the GF in Surin, after 2 nights in BKK, so wondering also about TM30 form also.

Looking for annual rentals in Bangkok Which condos are considered well built? Is construction year important? Does the rental amount include utilities such as electricity? Thanks for the feedback.

In response to a question I asked 2 weeks ago. I was advised from here to report my TM 30. FYI at immigration office Laksi. I was told landlord need to do online. EOS

When do i have to do the TM30 ?

( maybe a stupid question but i have never done it before )

Is this after 90 days ?

got my DTV approved in Hanoi using soft-power medical route...

- had my money in savings accounts. Which the lady at the desk thought might be a problem. Because it didn't have any transactions going in and out etc. But I wrote a short note explaining there weren't any transactions because it was a savings account. And also printed out a screenshot from my bank's website showing that the funds were fully accessible (i.e. not a fixed savings account or anything) and that was fine

- for the medical stuff, I showed copies of the paperwork I'd received from the hospitals I'd been to. Proving previous appointments, an appointment booked for when I flew back, and general proof of ongoing care in Thailand

- the bank notes I got from the exchange place at chiang mai airport. i was a bit worried because they weren't "perfect". But they were flat and didn't have any tears or writing/marks etc and she accepted them no problem

- it took a couple of days longer than the 2-3 days advertised. And I sent an email chasing things up. I was going to go down there in person and see what was happening, but then I woke up and there was an approval email in my inbox

Everything else was just the standard paperwork i'd seen you needed: proof of flight to thailand, proof of address in Vietnam, proof of address in Thailand, photocopy of my passport (picture page and the vietnam visa page), and the application form itself

It's also worth mentioning to be aware of the lunch break times there. I booked my appointment for 1.30pm and turned up about 20 minutes early in case it was busy or something. But it was shut for lunch, so I just had to sit outside in the rain like a plonker

Hi all you helpful people. You've probably been asked this question a thousand times on this site . I've been to Thailand over the last six years on a multi-entry visa six months. So now with the 60 day and the 30 day extension I'm thinking 60/30 days leave Thailand a few days to Singapore arrive back in Thailand this is the question I'm assuming you get another 60 days and extend for another 30 days so all together 6 months and then return to the UK

Peace family! Where can we go to exchange coins for cash baht? Is it the same as in the U.S. where you have to roll coins in certain amounts

& bring to the bank? Thanks in advance for your help!
