Hello everyone! Is there anyone here who received the DTV without an income?

- Medical treatment!

Because they live off savings and crypto?

Hello everyone,

I'm currently in Chiang Mai and have two months left on my Non-O retirement visa. Two months ago, I moved to a new condo, and my landlord provided me with a new TM30 already.

Do I need to take any action regarding my visa due to this change of address? My 90-day report is also due next week, and I'm wondering if not reporting my change of address before my 90-day reporting or Non-O renewal will cause any issues with the Chiang Mai office.

Thank you very much for your input!

I'm not sure whether this is the appropriate site to ask the following question, I hope so. My 90 day Report is due soon, I just paid my rent, asked for a new TM30 for doing the Report, now the place where I stay tells me: "the system is down, we've been struggling since yesterday". Our company actually do it on our behalf, but we have to supply the correct documentation, etc, in order for them to make the TM47 application.

Has anyone experienced a similar problem lately, I really don't want to pay a B500 per day once it expires!

Any advice will be appreciated!

Does anyone have experience with a sponsorship letter written by one's own husband or boss? Is there an official form or requirements?🫣😊

Everything else question. A friend is staying in my condo for a month or maybe two, so checking that's within the 'law' someone mentioned, on short term stays (or should I ask the office). 🤷

How does one comply with the second requirement? Do you simply present a copy of your rental agreement? The paperwork from the school said something about bringing the TM 30 but isn’t that something the landlord fills out and not the applicant?

DTV or Thai Elite? Still debating whether I should spend the extra money and go with the Elite to avoid all the hassle

How does the 90 day work while you constant on the move - so basically - every day or week stay in another hotel/place?

Does the reception need to give me the tm30 or something else?

We have a dtv already for a year and it works easy with a rentalcontract. Now, we are moving soon for the rest of the 4 year that is left from place to place.

Thanks.

My TM 30 says it's valid till 2026 Feb. If I leave Thailand and re-enter next week, do I need to apply for a new TN30?

I recently consolidated 500k baht into one bank account. Should I wait three months before applying for the DTV visa (cooking class), or is it okay to apply now? By the way, I plan to apply from Vietnam.
