Have there been any issues with the 6 month multi entry tourist visa and reentering for another 60 days, after the first 60 days, etc? Leaving the country each time of course. TIA
[Is it possible to get a DTV again after converting to non-B work permit and lose DTV once?]
Hi guys, I own a DTV visa. But it is likely I will get a job in Thailand down the road, and if so I will have to lose DTV. However in the future if I quit the job and wanna be a freelancer again, as long as DTV still exists I might want it again.
So I am wondering if it is possible to get a DTV again.
I keep hearing a particular visa agent in Pattaya say that more dtvs are being "revoked" than issued. Can anyone here attest to instances of dtv getting "revoked"? EDIT: It appears that this is nonsense which is good news.
Hi guys, there are two types of the application for DTV, workation and softpower.
If you are approved using the softpower option, you are still allowed to work for a company that has nothing to do with Thai companies or companies in Thailand. Correct?
I have seen both information and I am not sure.
Thank you for your help!
Update: It seems like it is permitted to work remotely as long as you have DTV and you are not working for any Thai companies or companies in Thailand whether you get the visa with the soft power option or digital nomad option or the other one. The point seems you have DTV. I am checking the official info but it does not say you cannot work with the softpower option. I think you can. There are legit bloggers who are working like that too. It’d be great if it is answered on an official website or something.
In the past I've had some non-immigrant O multiple entry visas (1 yr) from Savannakhet Laos based on famliy - wife - kids. Then they changed it to 90 day. Now it's evisa. I went through the evisa process to get the 90 day single entry Non O and there was one line that is asking for 400K in the bank proof or 40K per month proof letter from embassy. I have neither. It also mentions 'sponsor letter'.
Here's the copy/paste: 4 . Financial evidence showing monthly income of no less than 40,000 THB or having the current balance of 400,000 THB (e.g., bank statements for the last three months, sponsor letter)
I am not sure showing money is a requirement at Savannakhet for the Non O 90 day single entry - is it now?
Could the 'sponsor letter' suffice? My wife wrote a letter in Thai that explains that she's responsible for financial issues related to my stay. Does that work?
what with current crackdown on existing visa requirements what about agencys depositing 800k baht in bank for retirement visa.....??? has this or will this be stopped??
How many days prior to the expiration of my Non-Immigrant O visa can I apply for my annual extension?  Also, is the timeframe the same whether I am doing it on my own or using an agent? Thanks 🙏
PENDING CHANGES TO VISA EXEMPT ENTRY/EXTENSION PROCESS
There is no doubt that the "winds of change" are blowing regarding the 60 day visa exempt entry program and the extensions associated with them. It also appears these changes (what ever they turn out to be) will take effect Monday Nov 17th
The inter-web is rife with every Tom, Dick & Somchai influencer :O posting about the changes like they have some back-channel path to what's really gonna happen
BUT
at this time there is no real direction from the immigration office as far as what will happen and how any changes will be implemented.
Because of this, we're not letting posts on the group asking about it and we're deleting comments that try to quote what the changes will be. Until we get hard evidence from immigrations spelling out exactly how these changes will work, who they will affect, and what they really are we're keeping a lid on the rampant speculation sweeping the tiny portion of the inter-web that is thai related.
We realize these changes will affect many people and as soon as we know ANYTHING concrete as far as what will be happening we will indeed share it
We're just not gonna fan the flames of mis-information that are raging out of control on the inter-web..
Thanx one and all for your understanding in this matter...
