After lots of reasearch and not many results I thought I would come on here and ask about the DTV visa run.

I currently have an injury in my back so want to do the most "back friendly" option to renew my dtv visa... I hear we can return same day... so Im looking for a sleeper bus really...

Does anyone know of a same day (Or travel overnight) visa run service with comfy sleeper chairs... and not the coach style chair which lean back about 30 degrees theyre really uncomfortbale too I pref want something laying down. If anyone has any options please let me know :) thanks for helping!

I believe a DTV Visa is for 5 years. But do I have to leave Thailand every 6 months? Or is it possible to re-stamp and stay permanently for the 5 years?

Just considering options comparing to a marriage visa which im planning shortly.

Hey everyone, I’m about to rent a condo in Bangkok and wanted to check what’s standard practice here.

The agent told me: • I need to pay first month’s rent + security deposit (2 months) before the landlord will sign the lease. I paid the first month rent online to hold down my apartment • She said the landlord typically only signs once all money is received. • Alternatively, she suggested I could bring cash on move-in day, pay her directly, and then get the signed contract + keys together.

Back in London, I’m used to signing first, then paying, so I just want to make sure this is normal in Bangkok and that I’m not putting myself at risk.

Questions: 1. Is it standard here for the landlord to hold back their signature until the tenant has paid everything? 2. If I pay the agent (not the landlord directly), what’s the safest way to make sure I’m protected — e.g., should I insist on a written receipt right away? 3. On move-in day, should I expect to walk away with both keys and a fully signed lease?

Would really appreciate insights from anyone who has rented long-term in Bangkok recently. 🙏

Hi everyone! My husband applied for the DTV workcation at the London Embassy (as a British citizen) and he received a request for more info. They are asking for a utility bill as proof of residency but we've been living in Thailand for the last year as dependents on the kids education visas.

What other documents can we provide to prove we are in the UK? He doesn't have a UK driving license, and we stay at my brother's house so no hotel reservation.

Thank you.

If I entered Thailand 6 months ago Visa exempt and then got a tourist visa extension to stay an extra month. Would I encounter doing the same again in September? I hear it's at the discretion of the immigration officer. Your opinions will be greatly appreciated

I was applying for a Non O Visa and they want to know financial records etc...is this right?

Cheers for any insight

Can I show Fiverr income to apply DTV?

FYI, for Bangkok Immigration Division 1, your 90 DAY reporting is done at 3RD FLOOR now. 1 floor above Atrium level.

Any future foreseeable issues with using an agent, though usually against, will need go back america next year for few years as the country is in turmoil. Just want make sure no issues with agents for return. This given I don’t put back the money. Probably do Retirement next time.

What is the procedure for obtaining a residency certificate is it done at immigration or the embassy and how much does it cost. I am thinking about doing it on my own instead of using an agent. Tia
