Hello, it’s my first time applying for DTV, I was wondering if it’s necessary to submit and house tenancy agreement as part of my application for the Visa? I was planning to either stay at a hotel and look for a more permanent place once my visa is approved. Is it a common thing to do and could I get some advice on it? Thank you very much

When applying for DTV, what address should I put in Thailand? I only have a hotel booking for the first 3 weeks but don’t have an apartment rented yet.

Hello people!

What is the process of getting Thai Driving license (for DTV)? I already have driving license in my country and international driving permit (Car + Motorcycle). I want only motorcycle permit for Thailand.

Is any Letter of Residence needed from immigration? If it is, then what is the process?

And is it possible to get the Letter of Residence without any rent contract for accommodation, for example, If I am staying in hostels (not monthly contract), will this be fine?

To open a thai bank account with a non O visa, i need a SIM with a monthly plan. (Same as I have in the UK)

But when buying a new phone with SIM monthly plan, say AIS, how can I register it to an address if that address is a homestay?

Or can I register it to my wifes land which she has her blue book for.

(The land doesn’t have a house on it hence the need for temporary accommodation until we have finished building)

Its all steps and procedures I need to take to first open the bank account to deposit the 400k to obtain the the 12 month extension based on marriage.

We may end up renting in Pattaya for a while but maybe OK if in a quiet area….

The application is asking for my Thailand address for when I return.

I’m currently travelling and applying from another country obviously, so I have no idea where I will stay when I return. Is that something they check up on or am I overthinking? But I just put a random address, a random date and book a very cheap hotel on Agoda for that date or is it not an issue?

Hey guys, as a fellow digital nomad I have no permanent residency, I've been living in Airbnbs for over a year now, is this going to be a problem when applying for the DTV? Does anyone know what I can use as a proof of address since I have nothing to show?

Hello everyone, for the accommodation part, on the DTV visa, the adress or hotel name we mention, can it be a temporary one or it needs to be a permanent one ? Will they check ?

Advice on chicken and egg...

As I understand it, to open a bank account I need a proof of residency. I also understand that that needs to come from immigration. However, how does one use temporary accommodation (to look for a permanent place to stay) and still get a bank account in time to season 890k for 60 days?

Suggestions?

A few questions regarding housing and the visa process:

I have applied for the ED visa and my passport is currently with immigration, awaiting the visa.

I haven’t found a long-term apartment yet because I’m waiting to get the visa first. I don’t want to commit to long term housing in case my visa is denied. Does that make sense?

As I am moving between short term housing, the owners are creating TM 30s to register me (I assume), but do I also need to update my visa application each time?

How do you normally handle this, when technically you don’t have authorization to stay in the country long-term, but the government wants to know where you going to live long-term?

On a non immigrant O-A visa application does the address in Thailand where you will stay have to be for the whole twelve months or can it be for an initial week or two in say a hotel while you look for long term accommodation?
