Hi everyone!!!

Question:

Once i get DTV pdf should I go to the embassy for a stamps, or i can fly straight to Bkk??

I got my dtv via softpower. My muay thai package has finished and i’ve always had a remote job. I dont want to continue the muay thai route anymore. If i get questioned by immigration can I just say I have a remote job and show all the proof despite applying via softpower? Anyone has experience with this?

65k baht deposit…… for the people using this method instead of the 800k baht. How are you transferring the 65k per month? I have heard if I use Wise, the ACH may not be accepted as proof the funds came from outside of Thailand. Are you using wire transfers every month?

Hello, I land in Thailand on December 9th, I have a plane ticket for a return on March 9th. I am traveling by bike, I will stay 20 days in Thailand, 8 days in Laos, 20 days in Vietnam and return for 12 days in Thailand. What visa do I need please? With the free 60-day visa, is this possible?

Just looking at the official online Thai visa website.

When selecting visa type, there a two different retirement strings. One via long term visa- purpose for visit- retirement.

or the other, via Non Immigration- retirement. Can someone please elaborate on the differences please?

I would be looking for the one suitable to apply for while in my own country, multiple entry, then renew each year while in Thailand. Cheers in advance.

This group really supported me in my application which has now been approved, so thought I would share my experience incase it can help others.

Background- been in Thailand for about a year and a half on tourist visas. I travel on 2 passports, British and Irish.

Applied under workcation to HCMC, after 3 working days it got cancelled due to wrong date of issue in passport. I applied again the following day uploading the same documents, 2 working days I got asked for the folllowing:

Other request documents: Please provide a business registration document showing the company name, the name of the legal representative, and a company profile that includes details about its history, vision, mission, products, and achievements. -

I had already given this, I am a freelancer but have had the same one client for a year, so I gave their certificate registering at companies house as well as confirmation that I have registered as a sole trader, along with websites, LinkedIn etc.

Other request documents: examples of your work, along with any supporting materials that demonstrate your experience and qualifications, etc.-

again had submitted this, but due to sensitive information had to block a lot of info out. I then submitted meeting minutes along with letter templates and CV.

Document indicating current location: Please provide the latest copy of your full passport, including all pages (even the empty ones). If you have a Temporary Resident Card (TRC), kindly submit it along with the passport. The photos must show the date and time they were taken.-

I uploaded all pages of both passports and also added my hotel booking and a selfie outside the hotel with date and time.

After submitting it was another 3.5 working days and then I got approved 🙂

Hello, regarding the 15k usd / 500k baht, what are the seasoning rules? Can I just put the money in my daughters account for one month then she use it to show she has the funds?

First 90 day report coming up, since getting my 12m extension. I'm yold i must attend on 1st then i can request and set up future 90DR online.

Can someone please list all docs/copies they will ask for on my visit, its a long way to call in just to get a list from them.

I might request a resident's certificate at same time, to apply for licences. So a list for this would also be handy, own my condo but no yellow book yet just docs and empty blue book.

Sorry if this been asked b4

I have an interview, do I need to bring pictures of myself as one of the documents they want me to bring?

Other than that I will bring bank statements, the softpower documents, cover letter and passport.

Is there anything else needed?
