I understand that you must be out of the country when you apply for a retirement visa, but does it have to be your home country, or can it be from any other country? Thank you.

If your husband could get a DTV visa with soft power for 6 months Muay Thai, what would you need for a spousal visa?

If you got a spousal visa again, please give me some advice☆

もし夫が6ヶ月ムエタイでソフトパワーでDTVビザを取得できた場合、配偶者ビザには何が必要ですか？

Hello, I'm currently on a METV and was planning on applying for DTV next week, I've read many posts on this subject, and there seems to be division on the matter, some say that once DTV is issued then that automatically cancels TR and that what happened to them, some say that they were told by embassy to reapply after METV expires.

Can we get clarity on this

I went to 3 banks and asked because I am thinking of switching from Retirement to DTV. Bangkok, K and TSB. Here is what I was told.

1. You can't get a new bank account on a tourist Visa, unless you have property here (and/or a Pink Card), or are married to a Thai

2. Any Bank accounts already open, will not be closed just because you change to a tourist Visa, (Your history of time is evidence you are not a new account for illegal activities)

3. No effort is being made to investigate and close any accounts that do not look suspicious (many multi millions of baht transactions, new accounts not being used etc)

Hope that helps

Caveats:

1) If you are Russian or Chinese then you will face more issues as your countrymen are the majority of the high publicly for fraud that started all this.

2) If you got a Bank account on a tourist Visa before 6 months ago .. Things have changed your experience has no relationship to today situation

DTV May 2025: Has anyone applied from the Philippines? Also, how long should the "soft power" class be?

Thank you in advance.

Hey guys so Im trying to understand DTV better because I've spoken to 10 different agents/agencies in the last two weeks and have had almost completely different answers everytime

* Different prices

* Different requirements

* Different time frames

* Different counties id need to go

* Different finances

* Some require meetings some don't

* Some require 500k some dont

So what should I actually know and who should I actually talk too?

Hi "On the TDAC form they ask me the reason for the trip. I have a 6-month cooking course — should I select holiday or education?

I’m confused about all the different visas is there anyway to get information in simple terms explaining them 🙄

If I'm teaching online what visa do I apply for ?
