We are coming in 2 weeks to Hua hin Thailand. We are renting a villa for a year starting out when we get there. We will be on a tourist visa with 30 days extension. We will be going to immigration to talk to them about getting the retirement visa or the Non immigrant O visa. Does anybody have any advice or think we should do something different?

Austrian citizen here with a passport which I got from the Austrian Embassy in Bangkok applying in Jakarta for DTV.

Muay Thai DTV boss didn't have such a case, but would probably write the full name of the authority:

OESTERREICHISCHE BOTSCHAFT BANGKOK

Other options would be:

Austria

OEB Bangkok

I recently call a Law firm in Bangkok about the 1 year retirement visa requirements. I was told that a change was made in January of 2025. Forcing all new requests to make it mandatory to place 800000 Thai baht in a Thai . And can not be touched. Then I went on line to Royal Thai consulate in Los Angeles web site- it states 800000 baht OR 65000 baht a month. Which is it?

Hi a relative newbie here.

I arrived from UK on Saturday on non o Visa

I have obtained certificate of residence from immigration and today was successful in opening a bank account with Krungthai Bank.

What is the correct way to transfer the 800,000 ?

Can I just do it from my UK bank direct to Krungthai bank?

Thanks in advance

Got my DTV in mid-june but will be able to go to Thailand only at the beginning of October.

Do you think it will be a problem?

Some visas should be activated no later than three months after they are given. Is it also the case for the DTV?

Does anyone has experienced going to Thailand with a DTV delivered more than three months before his arrival date?

Hi, I have a question about the 90-day reporting for the DTV visa. Does the countdown start from the date of entry into Thailand or from the visa issue date?
