How long must I stay out of Thailand after a 90 stay?

Hi everyone,

As many of us who have lived in Thailand for a number of years know, immigration rules can shift without much warning. I wanted to hear your thoughts on the new DTV visa, particularly regarding future enforcement.

How long do you think it will be before immigration officers at airports or land borders start requesting more detailed proof from DTV visa holders—such as:

– Proof of ongoing funds (e.g., showing that the 500,000 THB minimum is still available)

– Evidence that remote workers are still actively working for the company they listed on their application

– For those who applied through the Soft Power route, confirmation that they are actually attending classes or programs (e.g., signed attendance or progress reports)

Do you think this type of enforcement is likely in the near future, or will things stay relatively hands-off?

Hi,

I'm trying to determine when the 3 months has passed after being granted an extension of my retirement visa to be able to drop the funds deposited in my bank account to below 800,000 baht,

Is it from when the visa was granted, 17th December 2024 or 16th January 2025 when my new visa started?

Thanks in advance.

I got a quote from an agent of 70,000 Baht to help me with the retirement visa process. Is this a fair price? Could anybody recommend a trusted agent if this quote is too high? Seems a bit high but I have no idea if I’m right. Thanking you in advance!

She wants her home in Issan renovated. Basically rebuilt. I put the cost to at least 1.000.000 baht + . What is the best way forward in covering myself legaly with the Thai authorities. I would indirectly be paying men’s wages to carry out the works. Along with sourcing all materials and paying for these.

Morning guys.

I'm looking to buy fire bricks to build a pizza oven. Any idea where i can purchase these from????

Many thanks in advance

Hello everyone,

If anyone has applied and got granted the DTV with the soft power Muay Thai or any course... could you share the example of letter or certificate from the school? I know it needs to be original and with signature and stamp, but the details of the letter itself I'm not sure, I guess it has to have a start and finish date and also show receipt of payment? And if it's in Thai language is better?

Thank you in advance 🙏
