Do I need a special type of visa to rent a condo in Bangkok and travel between the US and Bangkok? Plan would be to rent a place there and stay in BKK for 2-3 weeks every other month or so and when not there be back in the US.

Possible? Will a standard tourist visa work? Can I rent a yearly condo with this type of set up?

Thanks!

Hi Everyone,

Applied via the London Embassy. For DTV Freelance.

I just quit my job and am about to start my Freelance business. I currently have 0 clients and therefore £0 income yet, but I have my own website showcasing my abilities and portfolio of websites I launched as learning projects. I am planning to gain clients while in Thailand. I have already provided 3 months' bank statement of >500K Baht. I did mention in the application that I was of Freelance Status and No Income.

I have been asked to provide:

* Other request documents: - A recently letter confirming employment/contract details from your contractor or client stating your position and work role as remotely worker in Thailand (address to Royal Thai Embassy in London) signed by an authorised person.

* Other request documents: - Self assessment tax return / Statement of accounts / Accountant's letter / Personal tax calculation or computation statement from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) (Apart form your name, you can conceal any details that you would not want to show.)

* Other request documents: - Please upload your bank statement showing your monthly income transactions for last 3 months. (Please highlight income transactions from work. Screenshots are not accepted).

Would appreciate some help and clarity on the last 2 requests on what documents they are trying to acquire. Do I submit my tax documents from HRMC even though they were from my last employment? Do I create an LTD?

Thank you for your help,

Hi, what proof of residence can I submit for my 6-month-old daughter? She doesn't have a driving license or ID apart from a passport.

Good evening , I would like to ask , if the borders to Cambodia or Myanmar are open and if it is possible to make a visa run ? Thanks a lot .

I have a question if I’m added to my mothers bank account can I still qualify for DTV? Going to take cooking classes

Hi everyone,

I’ve been digging into the latest updates on visas for Thailand, especially around DTV and retirement options. Some of the changes seem small on paper but could make a big difference for those of us planning longer stays. Curious if anyone here has gone through the process recently and noticed anything new or unexpected?

On a side note, while sorting out my long-term plans here, I’ve also been keeping an eye on the US stock market. With all the swings lately, it’s been tricky deciding whether to hold or move things around. Feels like the same kind of patience and timing we need for visa applications.

Would love to hear your experiences

Has anyone had this DTV visa for more than 2 years. Only just been told about it

What’s my chances of obtaining a DTV in Vietnam if I can only show 2 pay months pay slips and contract from my current UK employer that I have been working for 2 months and if I put the money in my account a few days before ?

who have successfully obtained a DTV through the cooking school.Please share to me.Thanks.

I'm changing an extension for retirement to an extension for marriage but I want to change to another bank. I still have the 400000 for the retirement requirements and the new bank has had the funds in for over a year. Will I have to provide statements from both accounts or just get the old passbook updated & copied?
