Hello, I’m 58 and have $200,00 usd in bank. And will be working remotely part time until I retire at 62. Want to go for 1 month first while I decide where I want to live. Or get a 60 day visa. Not sure which Visa I should get. And are we allow travel with a small dog?

Hello everyone,

I’m planning to apply for the Thai DTV e-visa as a remote worker (with my wife as a dependent), and I had a few questions for anyone who has already gone through the process.

Did you apply fully online, or did you still need to go in person to the embassy at some stage? Also, how long did it take to receive the visa after applying online?

We are currently in Italy (not Italian citizens), and my employment contract is not in English. I would also like to use my Italian rental contract as the “document indicating current location,” but that document is also not in English. Do these documents need a sworn/legal translation, or is a regular professional translation sufficient?

We will also be traveling with our cat, so if anyone has experience entering Thailand with a pet while on the DTV visa, I would really appreciate hearing how it went and whether immigration or the airport process was complicated.

Thank you very much in advance!

Hi, my name is Dean. I’m here with my dog. I’ve got in in November stay two months had day extension and now I am in Laos. Is there any way I can guarantee me getting another 30 day extension on a visa one more time any advice I can’t go home any earlier because my dog would be restricted flying 

Has anyone traveled with a dog to Thailand on the DTV visa? How was the experience any issues?

Hi everyone!

I was wondering if anyone here has ever done a visa run with their pet, and what the experience was like.

I’m on a METV and planning a short trip around mid–late November (haven’t decided on the destination yet). I’ll be traveling with my small dog (5 lbs, in-cabin only), and I’m trying to understand what the process looks like in terms of paperwork, airlines, and re-entering Thailand smoothly with her. Leaving her with a sitter would only be a last resort.

Any insights, tips, or advice from those who’ve done this would be really appreciated!

Thank you in advance 😊

Hello, everyone. I’ve been thoroughly researching this whole situation, and I still don’t know what’s the best option for me or where I should go to get everything taken care of.

My 60 days will be up in two weeks.

I’m traveling with my dog, and I know I’ll need to go to the vet and get a health certificate to leave the country again, which is already a headache.

I’m worried about not receiving her health certificate on time, and I obviously don’t want to get kicked out of the country. I was given incorrect information, and I wasn’t aware of the timeline.

These are my questions:

1. What happens if her health certificate arrives three weeks late and I’m here for more than 60 days? Will I get kicked out?

2. I have money in the bank, but I don’t want to pay any unnecessary money for this visa process. I’m considering going to Vietnam to apply for the visa and come back. Is this a good place to apply for the visa?

3. If Vietnam is a good place to apply for the visa, what kind of visa should I apply for?

4. How many times will I have to do these visa runs a year?

5. What documents should I bring to apply for my visa? Will I only need a printout of my bank statements, my passport, a printed photo of myself?

Is there an agency that could assist me with bringing my pets from US to Thailand? I have two cats. One is over 20 lbs… thanks in advance

Thoughts on bringing in a cat on DTV, anyone experienced this?

Hey Everyone. I have read so much helpful information. I am interested in staying just another 60 days past the current 60 days. I saw that you can only apply for a 30 extension once. I am taking care of my retired mom and she will need an extension to. Just wanted to spend my birthday here which is why I want to extend. What would you recommend I do? Not easy to do a visa run as I have a dog license and will be required to do the whole process all over again if she leaves the country. What extension or visa can I apply for in Bangkok for us to stay til my birthday?

Question for people who have brought pets to Thailand from USA. I was wondering what the process was like with airlines + Bangkok airport regarding pet docs. We’ve been planning to bring our two cats (indoor, never go outside) and had read through all the requirements (shots, import permit, health certificate, etc.) but just recently had our process brought to a halt by the vet that we had gone to originally.

We leave in less than two weeks but now the vet is saying they won’t do the health certificate unless we go get another round of shots and then wait 21 days, which is past our departure date and all of our flights + accomodations are non-refundable and already booked.

We have certificates and receipts of their vaccinations for rabies + feline panleukemia from last month but it seems like there’s a chance that even with a new vet we might not be able to get the health certificate in time.

From what I read about most things in thailand, it sounds like certain laws are followed very strictly while others are more loosely followed / can be solved with paying a fee and talking and I was curious what it’s like for pet import. Thanks in advance.
