8 days left in thailand before leaving from BKK airport. In pattaya now. Where should i go to use my time wisely ??

Hello everyone! My wife and I just got our DTV visa approved at the Thai Embassy in Abuja, Nigeria! I want to say a big thank you to this group—reading about your experiences was incredibly helpful during our application process.

Our visas were approved in just 7 days for both of us, and we’re so grateful for how smooth everything went.

Thailand, here we come! ❤️

How long was the processing time for your DTV Visa if you did it in:

Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia, Laos or Vietnam?

Hello, I want to spend my retirement in Thailand. I will travel to Thailand on a family visa for good and I want to get insurance there but unfortunately I have pre-existing conditions. I have already read a lot about this topic regarding pre-existing conditions but unfortunately I haven't found anything suitable. What kind of health insurance can you recommend that you have had good experiences with and is affordable? Please no answers that are not related to this topic.

please the talked about TM6 online form, any start date?

Has anyone applied using dental? If so was your dental plan for a specified period? 6 months 1 year? Were you easily approved?

Best branch of kasikorn to get a bank account with DTV in Bangkok?

Just seeing how possible to get a DTV visa here in UK. I read it can only be obtained from outside of Thailand . I have the requirements for this visa apart from Hospital Appointment and Dental appointment , both of which I do need, and /or a cooking Course which I would like very much ? It seems no one is willing to give appointments unless I'm actually in Thailand?

I have in the past, had retirement visas, as I'm well over 50, but as I now have to be back in Uk for a few months each year, the DTV is ideal.

Visa Exempt or Tourist visa with extension give 3 months, just need 5 or 6 months! I wouldn't want to do boarder bounce. And yes of course there's the retirement visa if DTV not possible . Many thanks

Hey,

Looking for a solid visa border bounce service from Bangkok—specifically one with good drivers and comfortable vans (no sketchy rides 😅).

If you’ve had a good experience with a company, drop your recommendations!

Appreciate it!

Arrival post,

Got approved for the DTV visa two months ago, arrived a month later than my original intended arrival date. Immigration officer seemed happy that I had a visa, and said that most people aren’t getting appropriate visas at the moment. (I believe people have to apply for a visa exemption on arrival pre departure now, but a lot of people aren’t) stamped me in and said after 180 days to leave Thailand, and then come back for a new stamp. Whole process took 2-3 minutes, didn’t ask for any documentation etc. just had a print out of my visa. 🙂
