I'm currently living in Thailand (on the student visa. It expires in Marchl.

I'd like to apply for the DTV.

-I meet the financial requirement with my savings

-I'm retired (under 50)

-I don't have a business

-I don't work remotely

-I don't have an income

What options do you suggest I look into for acquiring the DTV?

I see some applying for MEDICAL / DENTAL. It's possible to get the 5 year DTV based on a medical appt, is that correct??

I thank you all for your support on this request.

I'll likely apply in JANUARY. Maybe through Vietnam.

My work permit will be cancelled on the 31st December following redundancy.

My passport has a multiple entry stamp until July but I understand this will be cancelled too and I’ll have 7 days to leave the country after the WP is cancelled.

What is the simplest/most cost effective way to leave and re-enter while I continue to job hunt?

Today arrive Cnx with Dtv just gave my phone and passport with boarding pass. The staffs are so welcoming and cheerful for everybody. No questions was asked just stamp 180days. Previous I have 3 TR visa and 3 visa extempt and one e extension. Only 5min to clear the immigration.

LF recommendations / suggestions:

I am married to a Thai citizen. I have a 7 year old daughter from previous failed relationship who is currently residing in the PH.

Currently I am in Thailand under Non-Immigrant O visa and planning to go back to Philippine and bring my kid to Thailand for good.

Can you suggest to me what visa should I use aside from the Student visa? (the student visa was recommended by the Royal Thai Embassy)

>> I have a problem with student visa. I cannot get the requirements from the Sarasas school because the pre-requirement is that my kid should be able to write and read in Thai language. Therefore, I want to bring her first to Thailand and learn everything once she arrives here and enroll her to school once she is capable to read and write in Thai.

If I find a job before I go back to PH and get a working visa, would that help and can I apply for my kid the non-immigrant dependent O visa?

Anyone? Please enlighten me. I feel frustrated. Thus, inter-country adoptation will take 4 years of processing also 😭 based from google.

Hello!

I work seasonally (May - October) so I'm unemployed currently (until May 2025) but I also have a rental property which I can show income for for the past couple of years.

I also have much more than the 500,000 baht needed in my bank account and have for years.

Is this enough to be considered for the workation option for the DTV? I'd rather not sign up for classes as I like to travel around thailand during my 6 months here per year.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

I am planning on staying 150 approx and it appears to me that I have two options if I do not get a visa prior to arrival.

1. 60 day visa on arrival followed by a border run and finally a 30 extension.

2. 60 day visa on arrival followed by a 30 day extension then a border run. This may have the adavatage of another extension if things go pear shaped.

Any advice will be appreciated.

Looking for some opinions and or advice . Return to Thailand on Nov 22 and was going to start the process of retirement visa .

Just finishing a long visit in Vietnam and realizing I would like to visit many more countries , put off traveling for too many years and want to do it while still able to.

Is it crazy to lock up the 800,000 in a Thai bank when I will be in and out of country for the next couple of years? TIA

Hello everyone! I'm brand new to this group and in the early stages of looking into relocating to Thailand!

I'm looking to relocate with my mother and myself. She's of retirement age, so any information regarding visa options for retirees would be so super helpful.

I currently work virtually as a nutritionist and am looking into starting my own business.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Is anyone else on a DTV here feeling that Thailand isn’t for them? Where are you planning to go next?

I am moving to Thailand early next year from Australia. With the current exchange rate I am a little hesitant to put 800,000 Baht in the bank to cover my retirement visa. If I was to do the 65k Baht income a month till the exchange rate improves can I then swap to the 800k option? Thank you
