Evening group. Has anyone had issues with the 65,000 Thai Baht monthly deposit method to renew your retirement visa? I have my Retirement Visa and have since been depositing over 65k baht into my thai bank account since having my Visa.

Has anyone had issue with renewing the retirement visa with this method at Phuket immigration?

If we stay in Thailand for 90 days with appropriate tourist visa, and we leave for several months to travel to other countries, can we return to Thailand the same year or do we have to wait a certain amount of time to return and visit again? TIA.

Apologies this is deemed a silly question.

Once I apply for a DTV (outside of Thailand) am I permitted to enter Thailand normally visa free for the 60 days as normal? And if the DTV is granted could I then, just leave and re-enter to activate it?

Or do they not want you entering until the visa is either approved or denied?

my o-a visa is aproved.but the insurance start at the end of next month.can i inter thailand with the visa.before.??

If we apply for this visa using soft power, do we need to re-register for the course every six months, or can we freely enter and exit the country after the course ends after six months?

Asking because I can’t find an absolute answer, is it mandatory to have a constant income in order to get a DTV? Am I obliged to be in Thailand continuously like with the student visa?

Hello Everyone, I have a dtv Visa and spend already 4 months in Thailand this year 2025.

Now I am applying for the Thailand boarding pass. Right now I do have only the inbound flight, do I need an outbound flight as well?

Thanks for your help.

Hello guys

I have DTV visa and it's been more than 6 months now and before that I did 3 border runs and I did 90 days checkin after 90 days of getting my DTV visa

Now I am going back to Thailand after 25 days from my country

So is there a questioning or problems at airport when I arrive Thailand ?

Please tell me guys if there is any questioning and problems so I can prepare myself

Hi guys. I am a Brit with a British passport. I successfully obtained the DTV via the London embassy last year, and then entered Thailand shortly after, getting the 180 day stamp at BKK, as expected. I stayed for 3 months then exited the country. All good.

I was issued the DTV as I was directly employed by a UK company that permitted me to work internationally remote. I provided a copy of my full employment contract and a brief cover letter from my boss.

But, I'm no longer employed by said company. I'm unemployed. But I am in sound financial standing and am considering returning to Thailand soon.

Obviously I still have the DTV as it's valid for 5 years.

Am I 'safe' to enter, even tho I'm no longer employed?

I know they ask for all the docs again when extending, but does anyone who's re-entered on the DTV lately know if they're asking for anything at immigration?

I am super conscious of not breaking any laws/rules. I always wondered how they would know someone reentering on the DTV is still eligible under the original conditions in which they applied. 5 years is a long time and inevitably circumstances change.

Thanks!

I’m planning to apply for the DTV this year as a UK citizen online via the London embassy while I’m at home in the UK and have two questions:

1. What should I use for “document indicating current location” to show I am in the UK?

2. Once the visa is granted (hopefully!), is there any stipulation about travelling direct from home country (UK) to Thailand? I’m asking because I was thinking about travelling first to Eastern Europe for some weeks and then onwards to Thailand.

Thank you for your help and advice!
