I am coming to Thailand with a non-O visa, valid for 90 days, applied from Belgium. I must complete the TDAC form no later than three days before arriving in Thailand. Upon arrival in Thailand, I must report to immigration within 24 hours with a TM30 document. With my passport and proof of residence, I can open a bank account with the aim of applying for a one-year extension. My question: If, during my 90-day stay in Thailand, I travel to Cambodia with my girlfriend for a week and then return to Thailand, do I need to complete a new TDAC form before arriving in Cambodia and also before returning to Thailand? Do I need to have a new TM30 document completed upon returning to Thailand? Will my non-O visa remain valid? Do I need to report to immigration again? Thank you in advance for the information.

If you already have the DTV digital nomad visa, do they check again the 500.000THB in your bank account upon rearrival? 🤔

My wife and I are thinking of applying for DTV from Indonesia (we will visit Indonesia soon). Can we both apply at the same time or the dependent has to wait for the main applicant's approval as the requirements says dependent need to attach the main applicant's DTV!

Hi everyone, I have a couple of questions as I plan to apply starting next month:

•My last name includes an accent mark (tilde). Should I keep it exactly as in my passport? When I scan the document, the system doesn’t seem to recognize the accent.

•I have a middle name, but the scanner splits it into two separate names, while in my passport it appears together as one.

I tried checking other posts on this, but I’m still not completely sure about the correct approach.

Thanks in advance for your help!

We have just been checking the immigration website for registering a friends property for TM30.

Yet it seems it is for business (which I assume is hotels)

I was looking for a section which required the blue book number of the house owner as well as her ID card.

Has anyone also looked into this?

We will be staying at my wife’s friends house and although I will complete the DTAC arrival card stating I will be staying there, she would have to complete the TM30 still?

Good Morning! I am planning to leave to Thailand next year June and was wondering if anyone had information that they could give me in regards to the DTV Visa and the requirements if I’m filing from the U.S? Thank you.

When entering Thailand do you need to physically present your DTV on paper or is it enough to enter it on the tdac form?

Hello, your help is much appreciated!

I entered Thailand 3 weeks ago with the plan of getting a visa on arrival, as I did last year. I was in Thailand for 6 months doing visa runs and never overstayed. Everything was in rule. Long story short, they asked me to buy a ticket to leave Thailand and gave me only 45 days instead of the usual 60 days.

I would like to apply for a DTV visa, but at the moment, I don’t have the required funds in my bank account for at least 3 months.

I am going to India for 3 weeks, and my question is: Do you think I can apply for a METV to come back to Thailand, and meanwhile get my papers sorted, to then apply for a proper DTV?

Thoughts?

Nope you cannot. Once the consulates went to online eVisa applications they standardized the process. You also cannot get year-long, multi-entry Non-O visas anymore, just single entry 90 day.

You have to show 400K baht in a thai bank account in your name only or the equivalent in a bank in your country,

It works like this;

You go to Lao. You log into the eVisa online system. You upload the required documents (proof you're in Lao, proof of funds, marriage certificates, letter from your wife asking they issue the visa, your passport). you submit your application & you get an email confirmation. Print it out and take it to the consulate to pay in cash for the visa (between 9-11 M-F).

Then you wait in Lao until the visa is approved, usually 3-5 business days.

Once they email you the approval you print out the PDF file (as it is your visa) then present it with your passport when you stamp back in to thailand.

DTV Visa for Retired Canadian – Is It Really Possible?

I’m a Canadian retiree (from Québec) and I’m currently looking into the new Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).

Some agencies told me it is *very easy* for a retiree like me to obtain this visa, but others say it’s *not possible* since the DTV is not meant for retirees. I would really appreciate hearing from people with first-hand experience.

* My profile: fully retired, no financial issues (very high investment income and bank assets, more than enough to qualify for any financial requirement).

* My goal: to stay in Thailand for several months every year without the hassle of making large deposits in a Thai bank like the O-A/O-X retirement visas require.

Here are my main questions:

1. Is the DTV visa truly possible for a retiree (50+, Canadian passport)?

2. Can I apply directly through the embassy/consulate myself, or do I absolutely need to go through an agency?

3. If you recommend using an agency, which reliable one would you suggest?

4. If I can apply on my own, what documents do I need to prepare (income proof, bank statements, insurance, proof of “activity” for DTV, etc.)?

5. Has anyone here already obtained a DTV as a retiree and could share their real experience?

Thank you very much for your advice! 🙏
