If anyone has experience of registering for TM30, how long did it take to get the email that activates your login?

Just found it! It went into my junk folder.

Closing.

Applying for LTR WP Visa, im in the fial review stage, however im reading the Visa stamp process, it says i will get stamped is what is remaining time on my home country passport which is two years remaining, so to me this means I will only be truly eligible for 7 years, because I will need to reapply after my 2 years remaining on my passport will expire, also to get another stamp I will need to reapply to BOI, to see if im still financially eligible. So to me its not actually 5+5 in reality its what's remaining on your passport and when you renew your passport you will have the chance to apply for the additional 5 years. I would need to pay $3200 usd for me and my spouse and another $3200 usd if we choose to reapply for the additional 5 years?? Maybe im reading the rules wrong, it looks like I'll be short 3 years

Hello, I had a work permit and stayed by it for last 2 years in Thailand.

I want now to apply for DTV visa,

I have bank proof and freelance employment contract. I heard that to get DTV right after work permit could be difficult. Is that true does anyone applied for that? I want to apply in Vietnam

Hi! I’m a digital nomad from Europe currently in Colombia. I will leave soon for Mexico, where I plan to stay a few months. Then I’d like to visit Asia and I’d like to apply for the dtv visa. Do you think it’s better to apply meanwhile I’m in Mexico City, where I see there’s a Thai embassy, or maybe it’s better to fly directly to an Asian country like Vietnam or Philippines, and apply and wait there? I think I meet all the requirements but I also see people getting denied with no reason and I don’t want to risk to fly to Asia and then fail the application. On the other side I don’t know how Mexico manage visas (bureaucracy is a mess). Has anyone applied in Mexico City? What would you suggest? I appreciate any advise. Thanks

I'm getting my dtv visa at age 43 years old and after 5 years into the visa, I'll be 48. What would be the best way to bridge the gap to stay in Thailand for two years until you qualify for a retirement visa at age 50?

As we have heard that Thailand os requiring proof of income again for tourist visa applications for 6p days.

I am reading the update and this is only talking about nationalities required to apply for it.

It isn't saying anything about people under "exempt" status. Where you dont have to apply for a 60 day tourist visa you can show up with approved passport and get the 60 day stamp.

Or am I missing anything?

Morning all

Arriving in Thailand on 3rd May for 45 days.

I know to fill in the new TDAC 3 days before arrival.

Was hoping to get the 60 day visa on arrival, but I keep seeing on other groups on here that they have/planning to reduce it to 30 days again?

Has it happened, or is it still 60 days? If it’s already dropped back to 30 days, how’s easiest to remain for the 45 days?

Thanks everyone
