Me and my wife both hold Thailand single entry visit visa, it's still valid since we haven't visited yet.

A week ago I applied for DTV from Jakarta. I read some information that you cannot hold 2 visas, can someone guide me if I need to cancel my visit visa right now? If so, what's the process? I applied while I was in Malaysia.

Thanks.

Hello, fellow DTV visa holders. I'm an applicant currently preparing my documents, and I work as a freelancer. I have a question: I previously ran a company, which was the main source of my savings, but the company has now ceased operations. I have since transitioned to working as a freelance professional. My question is, do I need to provide proof of having operated that company? I would appreciate your advice. Thank you.

Hello! Genuine question (so please mature & polite answers only please🙏).

I am preparing to move to Thailand at the begining of next year and will be applying for the DTV early in advance (I have my reasons for this but yes I know the clock starts ticking when the visa is granted not when you first enter)...

What I have noticed on this group, whilst I have found it very very helpful, is a lot people being mocked and patronised. I thought the whole point of forums and FB pages, was to help people, not a way to offload frustration & impatience at people from behind a screen? I personally have gained a lot from this group and am grateful for it, but I see a lot of people being quite brash with people who ask questions, and it's sort of not surprising so many people post anonymously.

If people post a question and have clearly done no research or couldn't be bothered to find the information themselves online or didn't try the search function, then I completely understand this would grow tiresome on the "veterans" of this page..... but my question is:

-why do people get accused of abusing the DTV when it comes to the soft power classes? I am asking this genuinely as I will be applying under the soft power category and would like to understand if I am missing something so I can reduce my risk of being rejected.

I have more than 500,000THB in my bank account (balance has been there for over 6 months), and I will be booking a 6-mnth Muay Thai membership with a reputable gym (already arranged)..... but why do I see so many people accusing posters of taking the DTV for granted by saying things like "you're getting a 5-yr visa for just a few months classes", etc, etc...

No one in the history of ever has surely booked 5 years worth of classes in advance before even getting to Thailand?! 😳 You wouldn't even do that in your home country, let alone a foreign country (whether you've visited 20 times or never)?!

Nowhere in the requirements does it stipulate you must be enrolled on a 5-yr long course... and the DTV is just an extended tourist visa, so surely the officers who process the applications will know you must be supporting yourself somehow and won't be taking classes for the full 5-yrs, otherwise the "entry requirements" would be different?!

Am I missing something?

I intend to actually attend my classes and am genuinely interested in practicing Muay Thai, but there's no way I would commit to 5 yrs upfront, and I can't imagine anyone else would either because so much can happen in that time.

I have prepared a good cover letter and meet the requirements, but there is a lot of scaremongering online, and a lot of people accused of abusing the generosity of the DTV and I'm confused why if the requirements are already laid out...

If someone could shed some light and share some comments, I'd be grateful... but please there's no need for narkiness or condescending - we are all learning and all had to start somewhere, and my question is genuine🙏

Many thanks 😊

Sorry, if this has been asked 100 times, I even tried the embassy, but I get an error message. With 60 day visa exempt, can I go and come back once within the 60 days? This would NOT be a 'visa run', obvioudly, but just a flight to Vietnam for 2 days, in order not to lose my 'Flying Blue' frequent flyer miles by taking a short flight on a partner airline, and crediting the miles to 'Flying Blue'. Just one clear answer is all I need, thanks in advance.

Hi Everyone I fly to Thailand tomorrow from the UK on a 60 day tourist visa. I have also filled in my Digital Arrivals Card. I arrive on the 28th of November. I have visited Thailand for 30 days already 3 times this year as a tourist. I have a holiday Condo. I have been coming to Thailand since 1996 and usually one visit every few years but since i bought my holiday home 18 months ago I have been coming every 4 months for 30 days. I have never had a visa extension or a border run. I have funds in baht with me and a return ticket. I also have records of my employment. Anyone see any problems with the new rules? I understand they may want to question me. My wife and Daughters are Thai but live in the UK but that won't make any difference. I will also update you on the 28th and let you know what the outcome is to try and help others which is why this forum is here. Many thanks In advance David

Has anyone recently left Thailand after completing their 180-day stay on a DTV visa and tried to return a few days later? What are your experiences?

Good morning

I intend visiting Thailand in January using Visa Exempt 60 day entry. I then intend visiting Laos also in January, when re-entering Thailand would I still have the days left of the original entry unused?

Or would an EVisa be a better option.

Thanks for any help.

Modification to a previous question due to personal circumstances:

Although I have a 90 Non-O visa, Based on visiting Thai family, our plans changed a couple of weeks ago and now have to return to UK after only 58 days in Thailand. Can I still use the visa even though I cannot now extend it by 12 months as was our original plan? I was wondering how to I complete the TDAC form is it now classed as a 'Holiday' or can I sill put visiting family in Thailand as 'Other'?

We last left Thailand after a 58 day visit early April this year, so would I be classed as suspiscious under the new immigration clampdown? Does the 90 day visa have to be 90 days in Thailand or or it is not that restrictive?

If you receive income from multiple jobs/sources with the least being 2 sources, would you specify them all or just the main job for the application? Assume all jobs are remote.

What about highlting the income stream in the bank statement? Highlight only the main income or income from all jobs?

Hi there all! I have a legit, government approved and registered Airbnb business located outside of Thailand. I run and coordinate the business remotely. Can I apply for DTV with this setting? Any insight would be appreciated.
