Is it possible to find condos for renting periods of 1 to 3 months with DTC Visa? Outside of Airbnb of course, I mean with decent local prices

The websites I find for renting require 1 year rent always. I expect some private groups on facebook for example where it would be easier to find but I do not know any

Just landed in Bangkok on the DTV visa — loving it so far!

Curious if any fellow DTV visa holders can recommend a reliable agent or service they used to find a condo rental? Would really appreciate any leads or personal experiences.

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to spend the Australian winter and summer in Thailand (about 90 days each time) and return to Australia for autumn and spring to maintain my Australian tax residency (since I need to be in Australia for 180+ days per year).

I'm looking for advice on:

1. Visa options – What’s the best visa strategy to cover two 90-day stays in Thailand each year? Would a tourist visa with an extension work, or would a multiple-entry visa be better?

2. Short-term condo rentals – Any recommendations on good platforms or specific areas for short-term condo rentals (90 days) that are reasonably priced and well-located? Ideally, looking for somewhere with good amenities and reliable internet.

3. Best areas to stay – I'd also appreciate suggestions on the best areas to visit and stay for 90 days at a time. I’m looking for a mix of comfort, convenience, and things to do (e.g., beach access, cultural sites, good dining options).

Thanks in advance for any tips or suggestions!

Ladies and gentlemen, just arrived in Bangkok. Begun work on the visa extension with ThaiVisaCentre. Now, for a place to live full time. Seeking a condo. Can anyone recommend a good, reliable property agent to work with?

Hello everyone,

[I understand this might seem more suited for a condo-focused group, but I find that honest reviews can be rare there, with most comments coming from realtors. I hope you understand, and thank you for your consideration.]

After getting the Visa, I realize there is more things that need to be taken care of. I’m hoping to get some advice on finding a long-term apartment in Bangkok. We’re currently living abroad, but we’re planning to spend two weeks in Bangkok to search for a suitable place before making a longer move.

I have a couple of questions:

1. Did you use a real estate agent/fb group to view photos and get information on multiple apartments before visiting them in person? Or the only reliable way is to go directly to different buildings and discuss your requirements with the building staff?

2. If you’ve had experience with this process, I’d really appreciate your insights, especially since we need a pet-friendly apartment, which may make things a bit more challenging.

Just to clarify, we don’t intend to rent an apartment “online” without first visiting it ourselves. Our goal is to maximize our options during our time in Bangkok so we can efficiently explore and evaluate different places. Any advice on how you managed this process would be incredibly helpful!

Thank you in advance!

Read on a post on another group that it's illegal to rent a condo for less than a month and the police are cracking down on it . Anyone know if it's true ?

Also security of entry to an apartment can be risky ?

Where is the best place to find accommodationin Bangkok in one of the nice condo units I see advertised in the modern units close to airport transport?

I have a shoulder injury and can’t carry luggage far.

I will stay about a week for hospital consultations, then go to the islands for a few weeks

Really interested in knowing the below

Thinking where you live please select the appropriate option based on your circumstances

Thank You

Hello,

If want to rent condo for 1 to 3 months, is there any website can search/any agent company will provide short term rent please？

Thank you.

Hi everybody. I now have some concerns about TM30 that I never have had before.

I guess that the majority of tourists entering Thailand on a 30 day visa exempt will stay in a prebooked hotel, often with the entire holiday arranged by a travel agency.

But a vast number of people today will arrive after having arranged their holiday by themselves. They have booked and paid for a privately owned condo through the owner himself, Airbnb, HomeAway etc. They will most likely bring a copy of the lease contract, but the owner of the condo will very often be far away in his home country. All the condominiums I've stayed in have had an office where you show your passport and get the keys, maybe arrange the cleaning while you are there and so on. Are these offices responsible for registration to Immigration, or do you have to go file a TM30 yourself.
