I have a question hoping someone can help....

I have a Thai stepson in Thailand, he's 13 years old and at school.

I want to bring him to my country where my Thai Wife lives with me.

Has anyone else done the same?

I'm wondering what visa to get, as he doesn't speak English, at all.

So a normal school won't be a consideration.

Although he needs an Education visa, apparently..

Any suggestions/advice is appreciated.

🙏👍

Hello,

My application for the DTV Soft Power Visa has unfortunately been rejected again – this time in Hanoi, Vietnam. I was not provided with a clear reason for the refusal, so I am unsure what the issue was.

Around two months ago, my application was already rejected in Cambodia because the documents from my previous Muay Thai camp were incomplete and insufficient. Since then, I have enrolled in a new, professional Muay Thai camp in Bangkok, booked a nine-month course, and submitted all the required documents in full.

As I believed everything was correct this time, I am now uncertain about what steps I can take in Hanoi to possibly have my visa approved, or what other options are available to me at this stage.

Could you please advise me on what I should do in this situation?

Thank you very much in advance for your assistance.

Kind regards,

Hi everyone... Can someone please guide me .. I'm on tourist visa in Thailand.. but now looking to convert my visa in low cost to maintain my legal status in Thailand...

Can you please tell me what are the best options I can have.....

A follow on from my recent post as I am now going down the route of a Thai cooking course under the Soft Power option. Is there anyone in the group who has gone down the same route and found a reliable cooking school in Chiang mai who participate under the government scheme.

Just starting out on the DTV route from here in the UK as this seems a better option for me rather then the Retirement Visa. I don’t have an online business so would an option like a Thai Language Course be a viable one ?

Question:

I am not sure what I will need or not need but here is the scenario.

USA Citizen

I was in Thailand from middle February to end of April.

I am coming back next Tuesday and plan to stay until Dec, 18th give or take.

I booked an onward flight to Cambodia in early October for a week with a return flight to Thailand until December with a exit flight to the USA

I know I get a 60-day tourist visa exempt upon arrival the first time. Will, what or should I get some kind of other visa for my stay?

I need some guidance here

Just thinking of my future starting next year visiting Thailand. If I stay 1 month next June then wanted to stay 3 months starting December 26, what visa would I need, if any (from the UK)? I would then plan to return June 27, so basically 2 visits a year

Hi, I'm retired and wanting to live in Thailand for a year starting in September.

I have 2 properties which bring in approximately 80k baht per month in rent... plus about 1 Mio baht cash.

I do want to give extra lessons online to only non-Thai clients. However, I will only be starting this now so I have no portfolio. Retirement visa vs. DTV? Any suggestions much appreciated.

Hey all, I’m planning of snowbirding every winter (November to May) in Thailand on a yearly basis (given that I like the first year, which I’m sure I will but you never know!)

I’m Canadian living in Canada right now but am looking for advice on DTV, I have the $15k for 3+ months proof requirement. Is this the biggest hurdle I am to expect with trying to apply or is there more? I can always come as a tourist and border hop this year if I face issues, wondering what other digital nomads are doing.

Lastly, my girlfriend is not a remote freelancer like me, but she does have the 15k evidence in her account. How do you guys typically deal with partners for these types of plans?

I don’t want any trouble with Thailand and border hopping is just as a temporary resort while I get things in order for the long run, but I do prefer options that have 0 risk.

Thanks in advance!
