Any one knows if after rejection of DTV Muay Thai visa in Jakarta i can apply from Laos immediately?

Good Morning, Im arriving in Thailand this week on my first Non O visa based on Retirement from the embassy in London, im a British passport holder.

I feel I have good understanding of the procedure like going to my local IO and finding out the local requirements (Surat Thani in this case) financial requirements, opening a bank account and seasoning the money Etc in regards to my extension of stay.

My question is regarding other paperwork, TDAC ill keep and print off, the initial TM30 thats my air bnb owners resposibilty but after that I have a house rented and a lease in place, my understanding is the landlady will have to do the first one then I could do them after that online or in person, what about going fwd ? everytime I travel internally in Thailand do i need to fill out a TM 30 at everywhere stay? And is there anything else im missing? Thank you in advance to this excellent group.

The embassy now requires the Soft Power center to send a confirmation letter directly to the embassy’s email.

So, if you’re applying for a visa through an agent, make sure you also contact the Muay Thai or cooking school directly to ensure the email is sent.

We believe this is a measure by the embassy to combat photoshopped documents created by some agents who exploit the DTV visa process.

We also expect that the embassy will increasingly require supporting documents to be sent directly to the embassy email from the relevant 3rd party email.

Hello,

Later this month, I plan to apply for the Thailand remote work visa (Destination Thailand Visa - DTV) in Jakarta, Indonesia. However, I currently hold a 6-month TR visa issued by the Thai Embassy in Tokyo Japan, which expires on July 12. My current stay as a tourist in Thailand will end on June 27 (I've already extended by 30 days). Therefore, it seems I'll need to unnecessarily stay in Indonesia for 16 days, waiting for my TR visa to expire before applying for the DTV.

I know you might say to me to come out and back to Thailand and gain another 60 days to stay in Thailand, but I would like to obtain a DTV as soon as possible.

I've noticed several comments in this group—some mention successfully applying for the DTV before their existing visa expired, while others advise waiting until the current visa has fully expired. Is it indeed safe and possible to apply for the DTV before my TR visa expires?

If anyone has successfully or unsuccessfully applied for the DTV while their TR or Education visas were still valid, please share your experience. Your insights would be greatly appreciated😀

I need to do my 90-day report and also transfer stamps to a new passport (non o). I'll do them on the same day at immigration.

Which one needs to be done first or does it even matter?

I am applying for a soft power DTV visa for a Muay Thai school in Bali.

If I return to Thailand during the application process, what will happen to the visa I am currently applying for?

I have an urgent matter to attend to and need to return to Thailand.

Hi all,

Just confirming I’m on right the path here…

Looking at getting a marriage visa in the next few months.

Apply for a non o in Australia

Once in Thailand transfer to a marriage visa.

Now I fly in and out once a month. Is there a waiting time for approval and if so can I leave and re enter before it’s approved. Or is the marriage visa approved straight away

So if the US Embassy no longer provides proof of 65K+/month how can you meet the income based criteria for retirement visa?

Hi everyone! 👋

I’ve been reading through some posts here and I have a few visa questions I hope someone can help with:

For the DTV (Digital Nomad) visa — is it allowed to sell products online while living in Thailand? Some people say it’s not allowed to work or sell, others say it’s okay as long as your income comes from outside Thailand. Which is correct?

For the Non-O Retirement visa — if I apply by myself (not using an agent), is the chance of rejection high?

Thanks so much in advance for sharing your experience or advice! 🙏

Sharing my successful DTV extension experience at Chiang Mai Immigration (Workaction category). Took 2 visits, but I was approved for the full 6-month extension. Yes, it was a lot of documentation to provide, but I'm happy with taking this route for the 1,900THB fee over funding a border bounce. I hope this information is helpful to somebody out there!

What I Submitted:

* Passport

* TM7

* Copy of passport bio page

* Copy of visa page in passport

* Copy of entry stamp in passport

* Copy of TM30 (printout from landlord)

* Copy of 90-day report (and had to show the original)

* Bank account verification letter

* 3 months of bank statements (originally provided 6 but the officer gave 3 back to me)

* Printout of the current bank account balance (printed from my bank's website)

* Job offer letter

* Employment verification letter

* Resume

* Portfolio

* Employment agreement

* Copy of Rental Lease

* 3 months of rent payment slips

* STM.2, STM.9, STM.11 (basic acknowledgment and consent forms on Thai visa/immigration laws. provided at the office, quick to fill and sign)

Final Thoughts:

* You can apply up to 45 days before your current stamp expires. Highly recommend using that window.

* Foreign bank accounts *are* accepted, but the officer required a bank verification letter (in addition to printed statements). My bank (U.S.-based) simply provided a letter with my name, account info, and balance. That seemed to do the trick.

* Didn't apply to me, but I was told that while we must show the equivalent of ฿500K held in the same account for 30+ days, shared accounts may be asked to show ฿1M

* One officer at this branch seemed to specialize in the DTV requests. He was helpful and professional, and openly acknowledged the inconsistency in how extensions are handled across Thailand.
