I started the LTR Visa application last March 23rd and this morning I checked my email and found out I've been approved. I had some back and forth with the Thai BOI, but their requests for additional information was not unreasonable. The same day they asked for the information, I promptly replied to their request. With each submission, I did add a cover letter fully outlining the documentation submitted. I do not know if this was beneficial to those reviewing my submissions, but I wanted to show my true desire to provide full clarity to the information I provided.

Yes, I cannot tell you how happy my wife and I are about receiving this approval!

September cannot get here soon enough!

Having a DTV. Will I need to file a TM30. Or when reporting address of residence on the TDAC. Will this suffice…..?

Good morning everyone!

I'm working remotely as a freelancer, but I don't have a registered business. I have my own website and clients though.

Do you think I can apply for a DTV visa?

Also, in your opinion, is it better to apply in person or online? What do they actually check during the process?

What documents would I need to prove that I'm working remotely?

And one more thing — if they reject the application, do you lose the 10k THB fee?

I'm flying to Thailand today from UK, I was advised by travel agent to complete the online visa exemption form/landing info, the sent the link in their travel info which I did with some difficulty (country of origin is required in 3 different places on the form and the UK is not easy to find on the list as it's GB on one, United kingdom in another, very confusing.. anyway all done on Sunday.. but now I'm seeing this isn't even a thing until May 1st, so was that just a waste of my time?

I understand that the 90 day (report) notification must be made either no earlier than 15

days before or no later than 7 days after the 90 day period expires.

If one leaves Thailand, let´s say 3 days after the end of the 90 day

period...and returns 4 weeks later to Thailand letting the 90 day period

restart from 0...is there then no need to make the notification before

the departure since it would be still within the 7 day period?

Hey awesome people. Got my DTV thanks to this group. Just looking for confirmation that I got my head screwed on properly about some things.

1) 1st day of me landing in Thailand - that's Day 01 of 180, correct?

2) Whenever I reside in a new place, TM30 must be reported by the landlord, correct?

3) Day 90, I must report 90-day reporting - first time must be in-person, correct?

4) If I leave before Day 180, the second Day 90 reporting is NOT required, correct?

5) When I return, my 180 days will be reset... then my next Day 90 reporting must be in-person again, correct?

Thanks everyone!

I live in south africa what is the required for a retirement visa as a married couple and can I take my parrot with

I am not understanding the dilemma with Thai bank accounts. It appears that you need a Visa before you can get a bank account and you need a bank account before you can get a Visa??

And that the only way to solve this is through a Visa agent??

I am aware that I am a guest in this country and they make the rules but I can’t understand why a bank would not take your money. Is there some history of fraud that made them wary of foreigners opening bank accounts?

Does anyone know if it’s possible to be approved for a DTV without proof of employment. But proof of steady income in the form of disability. I know the retirement visa is a thing but I’m under 50

Ive been in Thailand 2 years already and recently I got approved for the dtv visa, is it possible to add my child to it? We homeschool so I don’t want an education visa. I’ve been informed by different immigration officials over the years that children under 14yrsr old don’t need a visa. However, on multiple occasions I’ve encountered issues at airport immigration because my child doesn’t have a visa. Our Last entry the officer threatened that my child could be black listed in the future. Just trying to get a clear understanding of what to do since nobody’s on the same page.
