Hello everyone,

I currently hold a DTV visa as a dependent of my wife. I’m considering renting a small stall at a night market to sell food and drinks.

I’ve received mixed information: some people say that to rent a market stall I don’t need any special visa or permit, since someone else would actually be operating the stall; while others say I’d need a business visa and a work permit.

Could anyone who has gone through a similar process, or is currently in the same situation, please share their experience or clarify what’s really required?

Also, if a business visa is indeed necessary, how long does it usually take to obtain it?

Thank you very much in advance for your time and help!

Trying to fill in TDAC on line form for return to Thailand from USA. I continually get error message when answering what countries I have been in the last 2 weeks. I have only been in USA, but USA is not being accepted. I have tried different browsers and have rechecked all info. I am on retirement vis in Thailand. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi, I’m a 40 year old man from Norway. And want to move to Thailand. I have a income of c.a 102000 baht monthly. Before taxes. I’m retired/disabled. What are my chances for getting a visa. And what kind? Do I just go to immigration?

Hi all, has a gone got a DTV visa without having a long term rental but a 2/3 months hotel booking confirmation?

In the application procedure seems that hotel accommodation is also accepted.

Thanks in advance!

Do any of you have examples of hand drawn maps which have been accepted by immigration when applying for one year extension based on married to a Thai?

Need to do mine soon and really like to get an idea of how artistic or how childlike they can be. My drawing skills leave a lot to be desired 🥴

My application was rejected for not having the same name as on my passport. But I can't access the application to see where or if this even happened. What can I do?

Trying to get a feel for the Bangkok Bank issue. Has anyone, not having the banking app on their phone, had their account frozen?
