hey howz everyone doing, good i hope.

so, i’m just finishing up my first 60/30 and settling in.

i have to do my first border run .if i FLY from bangkok to siem reap and tour angkor wat again, will i be good coming in for my second 60/30??? i’m saving up for my retirement visa here and want to use my own money to avoid the agency fees. so, i know things change here, sometimes very quickly.

i’m more than a little worried as i brought a lot of luggage, way too much for a border run and too much to afford to lose. i have proof of 1 year contract and permanent government pension and over half the required savings but i’m still nervous. i keep hearing each immigration officer is different and could almost arbitrarily say no.

Hello!

I want to study Thai for 14 months in Bangkok and I want my wife to go with me on this adventure. Can I “add” her to my ED Visa or does she need to study as well? We've read something about the Non-Immigrant O Visa, but there's not much information about it being linked to the student visa.

We work online but we don't have enough to apply for the DTV, so we like the idea of spending this time with the ED Visa and then thinking about whether we continue in Thailand or explore more countries in Asia.

Is anyone else on a DTV here feeling that Thailand isn’t for them? Where are you planning to go next?

Anybody had this? 🙂

Some years in a row i stayed in Thailand with tourist visa and border runs. And some years i was here more than 180days a year 🙂 now emmigration dont like this and i want to make DTV visa 🙂

It will not be an issue? Anybody done it?

Also if somebody stayed 180+ days, dont you have any problems with tax system (becoming Thailand tax residence)? 🙂

Thanks a lot for any advices

I have to deal with the Jomtien office. I just got my first one-year extension on my Non-O retirement visa.

My issue now is I want to buy a vehicle in Thailand.

I understand I need a 'Residence Certificate' to make such a purchase. I read on the net that the forms have to be submitted and then they send the certificate out like 2 or 3 weeks later! I cannot expect a seller to hold a vehicle for 2 or 3 weeks.

I need a certificate ASAP if possible. I read there are an agents service I can buy and get the certificate in one day for like 500 baht. Can you tell me if that is possible in Jomtien please?

I also read somewhere that I cannot even get a Residency Certificate until I make my first 90 reporting. That seems very much not right, but I realize this is Thailand. So if that is true, I have no hopes of getting a Residency Certificate until that 90 days rolls around anyway, right?

Thanks much for any advice or info you can give me!

Hello everyone. Does anyone know an approved dental clinic for the DTV visa ( BKK OR PATTAYA) please?

So it's 2000 baht now to enter Laos, that's 60 USD, with a very unofficial receipt. Probably my last trip there.

I am looking for an agent in Bangkok to help with a retirement visa

Thank you for your acceptance. I have long term visa in Thailand and this agent is amazing !:) I wanted to help people who don’t have Thai bank account yet. App called JAMJANG can be used to pay across Thailand with prompt pay till December they have no fees which is pretty cool !

Any word on what happens after the 5 years on DTV? So far it appears it’s renewable again. But what if that changes and you’ve built your life in Thailand kinda thing?
