I'm leaving to apply with a valid Non B and valid work permit with a re-entry permit as if my application is denied I still have these credentials to fall back on. Does anybody know how this will work coming back with 2 visas please? Or should I cancel the visa and work permit before I come back to Thailand if the visa application is approved?

Some of your DTV questions may now be answered!

We recently sat down with the MOFA official who spoke to the FCCT Dateline Bangkok Podcast about the Destination Thailand Visa.

Within a tight timeframe, we spoke about many things including number of applicants accepted, soft power activities, financial proof, DTV extension, tax, eligibility and more!

Head over the FCCT YouTube page, subscribe, follow, like, watch and listen to the full video.

Just at Phuket airport flying out to HCM and got questioned a bit, apparently (Phuket) immigration could have processed the DTV if already in Thailand on a valid ED visa? Explained to her we need to be out the country etc etc, she went off to double check but insisted they can/could have processed.

Given she spoke fluent English, seems unlikely to have been a miscommunication/misunderstanding. Anyone heard of this before?

Just extended my driver license on the DTV visa. Was looking good for the 5 year licence, I paid for it. But when I had to take a picture the teller checked the documents again and saw my visa stamp. I had to get a refund and pay for the 2 year licence. So officially only 2 year on the DTV? Maybe you can get lucky and get 5 year.

Hello everyone,

First of all, I’d like to say a huge THANK YOU to this group for all the amazing advice and support. It’s incredible to have such a helpful community when navigating something as complex as the DTV visa process! 😊

I have a few questions about my specific situation, and I’d really appreciate your insights:

1. About my work situation:

I’m a social media specialist, content creator, and graphic designer, and I’d like to work on my projects in Thailand with my family. I currently have two contracts with companies in Switzerland, providing me with a monthly salary, and I can work remotely from anywhere.

In addition, I own a Swiss-based LLC (Sàrl) and plan to develop an online e-commerce project next year.

• Do you think it’s better to include my two employment contracts in my DTV application, or should I draft a remote work contract with my own company? Which option would be more suitable?

2. About my family (partner and child):

My son is 3 years old, and I’d like to know how the DTV application process works for family members.

• Should I apply for their visas at the same time as mine, or should I wait until my own DTV is approved?

• I also have a question about the financial requirements for dependents: Does my child need to meet the 500,000 THB bank balance requirement individually, or is this amount simply added to my own financial proof or he don't need 500,000 THB ?

Your advice would mean the world to me! Thank you so much in advance for taking the time to share your experiences and recommendations. 🙏

Looking forward to hearing from you all, and thanks again for this amazing group!

Does anyone know what I need to send ? I've already sent a bunch of documents about company registration, proof of registration in the Payee system etc. 🙏

Has anyone applied for the freelancer visa with the 500,000 baht but no freelance income recently and got approved ?

Hello!

DTV holders are required to do 90 days reporting as well in local immigration office?

I thought the visa is valid for 5 years & each entry allows you to stay 180 days at a stretch without any border run/ border bounce or any other thing.

Does anyone applying for Muay Thai/Cooking DTV type need to submit employment contract?

Evening all,

Have read through numerous posts and still can't comprehend the exact answer to my question.

1st extension of stay on a non o-a visa.... If I leave country and re enter during the 1st 12 months with new insurance giving effectively up to 23 months. When the extension is due can the 65,000 baht monthly international transfer be used, if I have that evidenced in Thai bank (UK citizen) or does 1st extension always need to be 800,000 seasoned funds method?
