Too lazy to renew my retirement visa myself. Done it before in Hua Hin, always super smooth.

But moving back to Bangkok it's another cookie. Looking for an agent to do this for me and do the 90 days report aswell.

Any relaible and affordable agent in Bangkok?

Hi all,

I'm a couple of weeks away from needing to renew my retirement visa but thought I'd explore the possibility of going with the DTV instead. The main reasons are that I thought it might be easier and cheaper. My Thai bank account has dipped well under the 80000 baht which means I have to pay more for the retirement visa and I don't think I need to pay for health insurance with the DVT. I do have much more than the 800k btw, just prefer to keep in in my investments if possible at this point.

So, some questions:

1. I read somewhere that I can't apply for the dtv within Thailand. True or false?

1. I also read that I can't apply for a Thai bank account with a dtv but does that mean I need to close my current Thai account?

2. Do I need health insurance with a dtv?

3. Regarding the need to leave the country after 180 days how long do I need to be away for? Can that be done 20 or 30 days before if it's a more suitable time to travel for me?

4. I read that I may be able to just pay more after 180 days rather than leave. Is that true and if so how much?

Finally, if there are any Thai visa services business reading this can you please pm me.

Thank you, Stuart

Question if anyone has experience about applying for a DTV using an agent through the soft power option. As some reports coming back for people extending DTV at immigration in Thailand are being asked to provide documents proving original application. Does anyone have information specific to Chiang Mai immigration or do you think soft power via agent will mean leaving Thailand every 6 months. Thanks

Hello group.

Im in a retirement visa up here in Chiangmai. My annual renewal date is december 12. I do the actual renewal 2-3 weeks before. The question is. What date is used for the 800.000 to be in the account 3 month ? .. is the "visa date" or the actual date when you do the renewal ?.. wkr Henrik

Is there any information if TINs or tax clearance receipts are now required to renew Non O visas for retired expats ?

GETTING DTV with an expiring passport (late 2025)

So basically trying to get the dependent DTV for my wife after the gay marriage law comes into effect this 22nd.

Her passport expires November 2025, and its currently Jan.

My question is:

should we renew her passport first and THEN get the visa (American) but I have no idea how to do that while abroad. Nor how long it takes.

OR is it okay to do it now, and when she renews, do they cut out the DTV from the old passport and re-apply it to the new one?

Hi I had ED visa for study thai online and is expired on 15th I try to renew it but they can only do 1year , I'm leaving the country on 13 and back on 16th in TR visa ,my question is can I use the TR visa again !? And can I apply for ED visa more than 1 time ? Or can I do any other type of visa I'm 24years old

Afternoon, I’m looking for some advice in renewing my 90 days spouse type o non immigration visa. I’m wishing to extend it for a year.. my 90 day visa runs out on the 18 of February. How long in advance do I have to review it?

Many thanks 🙏🏼

I have 3 years validity in my passport, if I apply for the dtv visa now( 5 years validity), would there be any problems when I renew my passport later.

A big thank you for all the contributor's help from this forum with the Thai visa process.

I had a question about 90 day reporting. I came in August, and reported 90 days in Nov. In Feb I am leaving the country for a week. I have a DTV visa which should renew another 180 days upon return.

My question is, do I need to file another 90 day report online if I'm leaving in February for a week?

Thanks,
