Hello, I am planning to relocate to Thailand with my partner and would like to obtain a five-year DTV based on soft skills. I intend to pursue online education while developing culinary skills. (I would likento find remote work after I graduate) My boyfriend plans to secure a teaching position after six months of exploring our desired location. Can we both enter on a soft DTV and subsequently find employment as teachers, or will he need to apply for a work visa following the expiration of a tourist or education visa?

I also see that maybe if I have a DTV he may be able to apply to one afterwards. I want to ensure we won't have to do so many runs if he can help it. I know the DTV is new butbif anyone has experience with this please comment. Any advice is welcome but please be kind 😇

Hello, I am currently residing in Thailand with a non-immigrant b visa with work permit but I would like to leave my current situation and apply for the DTV instead. Does anyone have experience or know how it works applying for the DTV when already on another visa? Thank you.

Please approve for extra knowledge.

"I messaged Thai embassy in Hanoi if my employer can provide a sponsorship letter as i don't have exact 500K Baht in my account."

That's what they said and why the hell TRC and Work Permit is needed for Pakistani Passport Holders 😢😢😢

Hi guys

I am already half a year in Thailand.

I have a BOI-Visa which will be cancelled from the Company in January. I already have a new Remote-Job, where i can start working soon. Is it easy now to apply for DTV-Visa ? Its needed to leave Thailand ? Its possible just to change my Visa and Work Permit to the new Company which is in Europe ?

Anyone know the situation in laos now? have all the documents ready currently in thailand. Can i go directly to the thai embassy or can you do it online? Thanks in advance for now I have a workpermit that ends 23rd Jan and will be an tourist visa. So I need ti wait until it ends.

Hello everyone, I would like to know what happens to the NONb visa and work permit if you go home maybe for a month or during school holidays, do you have to report somewhere or it gets cancelled and you have to do another one when you come back?

Hello! I would like to ask about the Non-O yearly Extension. I already extended to a year showcasing the 400K THB. However, it is about to expire in a couple of months.

I now, have a work permit under my non-O spousal visa. Can I just use the work permit for another extension without showing my bank statement of 400K and when or how should I do it?

EXPERIENCE ARRIVING IN PHUKET TODAY:

Left Phuket on a business visa (planning to return and cancel it before activating DTV)

Went through the ‘fast track’ at immigration and they said I had to enter on DTV (I didn’t tell them I had DTV, it obviously just came up on their system).

I told them I was advised I had to come back and cancel my business visa and work permit but they asked a few staff and said that wasn’t correct so stamped me in on DTV.

They were very pleasant about it so just an FYI!

Hi everyone,

I have a Non-O visa (Thai spouse) and am looking to extend it for another year. I have a working permit so originally tried opting in through a Thai employer, and I’ve almost completed all the documents. But, I don’t have any previous tax payment records in the country yet since I only started paying taxes here this year. These records should be available next year.

Now I've read the other two options: by pension as salary, and by securing a deposit of money sitting in a Thai bank account for '2 months'

I have a few questions:

1. Regarding the income certificate that meets the required amount, under which category does this fall? I already have the certificate (in Thai).

2. Do I still need to visit the embassy for this process, or are there additional documents I need to provide?

Lastly, does anyone have a reliable resource or checklist for these documents?

When I called Nakhon Pathom immigration office, they told me that without recent tax payments, I might need to leave the country and re-enter with a Non-B visa, which I think doesn’t seem to make sense in my case with Non-O visa. Any advice? Thank you.

Has anyone had a DTV, and then been successful in obtaining a work permit? I am in the middle of a work permit process, and its so slow that i got the DTV in the mean time. I'm hoping it doesn't affect the process in any way. And. I'm aware that you can only have one visa at a time.

I'm on a muay thai DTV, so there's nothing work related in Thailand with it so far.

Thanks.
