The embassy is asking me for documents about my client for the DTV workcation (I freelance for them). As I don’t think I’ll get the documents, I’m wondering if I can switch the application to soft power as I’m planing to study thai anyway.

Have anyone ever been in that situation (switching the scope of a DTV application) ?

Hey all!

I’m planning on moving to Thailand permanently from the US in 2-3 months and starting to think about which visa is the best to get.

I’ve been thinking about the Education Visa. Has anybody here done that? I heard it’s possible they might not let me extend it to a different visa after that year is up. True/false?

DTV visa - pros/cons?

Retirement visa - I am not pulling social security yet so I don’t have passive income. Is this still even an option? (I’m 50 years old.)

Tourist visa runs every 60/90 days. Is this really sustainable over years?

Thank you so much for any insight!

Can I apply for marriage visa from my country? If yes, then visa duration will be 3 months? And I have to show 400k in my country? Even after getting visa, do I need to show 400k in Thailand for extension? Thanks

65k baht per month question: if my first 12 months extension is in May 2025. And I deposit 65K Baht per month from April 2025 to May 2026, when my next 12 months extension comes around. Do I still need the minimum 400K Baht during the 12 month period?

I had a post declined.. i would point you to the same immigration bureau document you cite and the 'help poster' you published from the same bureau that goes on to say specifically 'visitors'

Thank goodness my DTV approved using soft power cooking class.

When I crossed the border, I showed Thai Immigration my visa via phone. But she never bothered to look, because their system already showed DTV.

Anyone know what they mean specifically for first visa?

Is it the visa ever Thai visa I have in my passport? I'm looking to apply for Non-O spouse but my first visa is a Non-B one from before

Hello all, I have to do my first 90 day report on the DTV soon. Which Immigration office do I need to use in BKK to do this? Thanks.

For Non OA visa one year , when you are in bkk do you still need to report your self to immigration every 90 days ? If yes in person or online ?
