So hypothetically if I go to Thailand end of January and stay 60/90 days , how long after that could I apply for a DTV. I am tempted to do it now but want to check out various towns and places first before applying for it incase I am unhappy there .Or should I take a punt on Hua Hin for example and take my chances there .

Hello, just wondered if anyone has recently applied for remote worker DTV from either Taiwan or Vietnam and if they have any tips on the process/documents. I was going to apply from Taiwan in January but looks like Hanoi in Vietnam is a better option right now? Any advice is MUCH appreciated. Thanks ☺️ 🙏🏻

So much fear mongering on this group about entry. Entered today at DMK, queues were extremely long but didn’t see one person get turned away or taken aside.

Just gave the officer my passport the system already knew I had a DTV, no questions asked and was in within about 60 seconds max from me approaching the officer. Didn’t ask for any other documents at all

As long as you’ve done everything correctly (TDAC beforehand) you have nothing to worry about.

This is my 5th entry since getting the DTV and the only questions I’ve been asked on entry (one time) is “how long have you trained Muay Thai” and “will you fight in Thailand”

I replied “for about 3 years” and “maybe but I need to lose some weight first” immigration officer laughed and let me straight in. I think she just wanted to make conversation since she was super smiley and that time there wasn’t a queue

Bare in mind guys you will hear more of the bad experiences on this group rather than the thousands of people that enter just fine

Question:

I’m here on a retirement visa (Non OA).

I get a renewal visa (1 yr) on January 5th of 2026.

My US passport expires on February 2027.

I have recently read on the Thai immigration site and checked with AI that if on a retirement visa the person must have 18 months remaining on the passport to get an annual visa extension.

I will only have about 13 months on my current passport when I submit for my January 5th 2026 visa renewal.

What is the experience of others here?

Any other business owners and DTV holders with Australian passport? 21 and plan to live in Thailand until my company reaches usd25k a month. I am An individual carrying on a business in their own capacity and dont have anything registered with my government.

- Is registring as a sole trader and getting ABN enough for proof of business?

-Ill also send emails and letters confirming myself as working there for the length of my visa, proof of current Australian clietns and will not take on any Thai clients. —Ive got financial proof of funds. Valid passport, photos, application, app fees not a problem, also an address both Aus and Thailand.

If im missing out on anything let me know

The wait is over

Hello all?! I am on a Non-O retirement Visa.

I returned from a foreign trip on December 2nd with the re-entry permit.

My landlord filed the TM-30 for me on December 3rd.

My lease expired in October and I found a better apartment that I'd like to move into on February 1st. That new landlord will also file another TM 30

My question is when do I do my 90-day report? It's a bit confusing. Thank you.

So reading all these posts I have a question.

I am married to a Thai but I work on a ship and I am only back in Thailand in the Winter (End Dec till Mid Feb) then I am back at work so max 50 days this year will be less I usually enter on Visa Exempt don't need extension for the last 3 years I was there in Aug for 16 Holiday to see the wife. I know it's up to the IO but was just wondering if I can expect any problems.

I have ticket out already and my contract and letter of employment for next year.
