Me (primary applicant) and my family are on DTV workcation visa. It mentions clearly that we can't work in Thailand. However, my daughter will be school going soon. Can she study in Thailand as a normal visa holder or any limitations in DTV? Will she be admitted in public schools (I am ok with her learning Thai language) or shall I only opt for international ones?

I’ve recently applied for the DTV through the Wellington Embassy (yep, I know—it’s the pricey one, but since I’m based in NZ I figured I’d give it a go).

The embassy has come back with this request:

“Other requested documents: Proof of accommodation in Thailand for the entire duration of stay is required.”

Has anyone else come across this? What did you provide?

I’ve got accommodation sorted for the first month but was planning to find an apartment once I arrive in Chiang Mai.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

I have submitted an E-Visa application for a retired 90 day, Non-O, single entry visa through the NYC Thai Consulate. It is currently pending approval as of November 5. How long does it take to receive an approval (or denial) from the Consulate?? I have rented a condo the past 2 years. I am leaving 11-25…hopefully

Thanks

How do I start the process of getting a retirement visa? I am a 55 yr old veteran ready to make the move. All serious help is welcome. Thank you in advance.

DTV visa extension has been a nightmare, and I can see that I am not the only one who is having/ had this issue. I am wanting to do a border run (possibly Singapore over night or Malaysia land crossing). Does anyone know if there is a minimum you have to stay away from thailand for on the DTV? or can you just simply fly over night and thats ok?

Or the land crossing, has anyone done this?

not visa related but I think interesting, so in the long process of cancelling my life in England for my move to Thailand on the 1st of December, you know it's easily to start something, 5 mins online and your a new member but trying to cancel or change your address is a different matter, I have two private pensions so went online to change address not so straight forward as I thought , they need evidence of my new address but what they are asking for is all westernised paper work, gas bill council tax bill, etc, so I phoned up and said the only thing I can send your is a copy of my tm30 from imagination and maybe a bank letter, would be interested how you got over this problem,

thanks, see you all in December,lol

Here is my turn.

Also really appreciate the information I got from this group.

I applied in Jakarta.

Documents submitted: Oct 28th (evening)

Visa approved: Nov 7th (evening)

Had added a cover letter in English and Thai to every of the three documents (employment, finances, location) explaining situation and contents of the documents.

No questions asked, no additional documents requested (had prepared a copy of all passport pages but they didnt ask).

I am a software developer freelancer and applied for workcation.

Thank you so much for your help !!!!

Hi I'm planning to come to Thailand. I need info like if i want to settle there what process do i need to follow? Like job, residency and life?

Currently i have Non B visa which will finish soon , if i change to DTV visa will by thai bank account remains active?

I arrived in Thailand about 1 month ago on a 60 day visa exemption stamp. I stayed for 30 days in an Airbnb apartment, and my landlord didn't file a TM30 form. For the next 30 days I will stay in another condo where the landlord is going to file a TM30 form. If I go to the Jomtien immigration office to extend my stay will I be fined 1600 baht for not having a registration at the first place I stayed? Thanks.
