Does anyone know if you can hold a DTV2 temporarily and after 6 months then apply from within Thailand for the DTV1? Any restrictions if it’s possible?

Curious, looking at getting a DTV because I plan to retire in Thailand longterm but I wanted to take cooking and language classes anyway. Can you transition from a DTV to a O or OA down the road?

Anyone in here who switched from retirement to DTV? Did Immigration questioned special documents after application? And what did you wrote in your motivationletter. :)

Anyone have experience going from DTV to Non-Immigrant B visa and work permit?

Hey everyone. I am on ED visa (thai language) at the moment and planning to get a DTV visa after. Are there any potential difficulties I might run into because of previous ED visa?

Hi there,

Just wondering if anyone has any experience going from a non-b to a dtv visa?

Thanks

I’m currently on ED plus visa.

I intend to cancel it and try DTV as I recently get a remote job.

I have sufficient amount for more than 3 months in my Thai bank account to meet the requirements.

My concern is I will only have one month payslip as my contract just begins.

It might be seen as one month overlap with the ED plus and will have payslip for only one month.

I would really appreciate any advice on how to navigate this situation.

Thai Elite/Privilege to Non-Immigrant "O" visa (based on marriage)

Does anyone know if it's possible to get a non-immigrant O visa based on marriage if you have an Elite visa?

My Elite/Thai Privilege visa runs out on 1 March and I'd like to apply for a non-immigrant O that would start seamlessly after the old visa expires.

Thanks for your help!

Have anyone had experience cancelling DTV at embassy in Vientiane, Laos?

Do we need to do to Vientiane or can be done online by email?

My DTV was issued with stamp on my passport(not e-visa).

Thailand Work Visa to DTV Experience?

I was just curious if anyone has had any experience where they were working in Thailand through a work visa, and wanted to shift to freelancing for foreign clients while still staying in Thailand.

DTV (workation) seems like the way to go in this case but I'm wondering if they're looking for an existing history of freelance already in order to grant DTV in this case.

If my last freelance gig was from 5 years ago, is this still good enough? Or would it be better for me to return home first and get freelance gigs and then try to apply after a more recent history of freelance. Thanks for your opinions everyone :D
