I’m 19 years old and looking to stay in Thailand long term as an English teacher. I am American native English speaker. I will have my 120 hr tefl certification in three weeks. I’d much rather prefer to tutor but if I needed to teach in a school I could do that. I don’t have 800,000 thb saved but I could borrow it for 24hrs to show them a bank statement. Any ideas?

Hi all. I fly to Cambodia on April 27 to apply for my DTV. I'm currently on a work visa/permit. The company I was with told me since I'm leaving Thailand on a Sunday (April 27), that it will most likely follow the business days and cancel on the Monday after I leave. I was planning to submit my application on Sunday night tho. Do you think it's ok since they most likely won't see it till Monday morning? Or should I wait till Monday? Or should I wait an extra day, just to be sure the other visa is really cancelled?

hello i have some questions.

I have my non-immigrant B visa, work contract and I am a direct hire to my employer but I dont have any working permit.... Do I need to get an OEC before travelling from Philippines to Thailand? or am I exempted since Im still not an OFW and I dont have my working permit yet? 🙏

Hi everyone. I need to change reason of my visa extension from education (Master) to working. I want to know if there is someone did this before and whether I should apply for a work permit before or after obtain the new extension? Thx in advance.

I see quite a few people on here have cancelled their DTV visas and transferred onto a work permit and Non B

Does anyone know after you do this- could you reapply for a new DTV visa let’s say after a few years (after you’ve worked for a few years in Thailand)

Hey guys so I recently arrived here and I am currently on the basic 60 day visa. My question is, I hope to get a visa to be able to do a few halfday workshops for Wim Hof method, maybe 2 or 3 a month. In the future, I would like to extend this to doing weekend retreats, maybe once a month, I I would be able to employ 4 staff for those.

Would anyone know if there is a visa I could apply for to do this? Tia

To get a DTV visa, I need to be employed in my home country, which means I have to show a work contract. The contract must clearly state that my employer allows me to work remotely. Is that correct?

And what to do to get Long Stay Visa with work permit? Is there any for professional workers?

Hiya my friends, I am from USA but have business & work permit in Laos & go to Thailand a lot for hospital/stay/buy things, would applying for DTV be good idea & straightforward? Thank you for any advice

Hello, for the last few years I've been employed on a non-B/work permit issued through the BOI but last year I changed company and this company is not a BOI entity which means I am now back to the regular "Chaengwattana system".

There was a whole mountain of paperwork required last year to move out of BOI that I figured was a one-off but I guess not as it is repeating somewhat this year.

I haven't been in this system for quite a while so I have a few questions about the process that my HR is either unable to answer or can't explain clearly due to language barrier.

* My current stamp expires on 29th April.

* We went to Chaengwattana yesterday to renew the visa and I got a new stamp that is valid until the 23rd of April.

* On the 23rd of April I need to either give HR my passport to get the 1 year single entry stamp or else I need to go with them to Chaengwattana again and get my photo taken for the 1 year multiple entry stamp. (I know it's also possible to do this at the airport if necessary.)

* My 90 day report is due on 18th April.

What I don't understand is:

* Why did they only give me a 3 week stamp? Why couldn't I just get the entire 1 year renewal + multiple entry permit done in one go yesterday?

* Does my 90 day report counter reset back to 0 now that I had an immigration 'event' and the visa has been renewed or does that operate on a separate counter and I still need to file it now?

Thanks in advance

Hi everybody,

I am coming to Chiang Mai soon and I will attend a Thai Lanuage School for an ED visa. I've read it's impossible to start a business whilst on said ED visa. Is that true, or can a visa agent perhaps help with some legal loopholes I am unaware of? Thanks in advance!
