I'm currently on an extension for retirement which will expire in August but I want to change to marriage. The GSB bank has now stopped the app on the phone for foreigners so I want to close this account but if I'm changing to marriage visa do I still need to keep this account with the minimum 400000 baht in for the retirement visa?

Hello everyone, and thank you in advance for your help. I’m currently on a student visa and planning to apply for a DTV visa in July. I understand that I’m not allowed to work on a student visa, but I’ve recently been offered a remote job from abroad. I would like to switch to a DTV visa to ensure that I’m fully compliant with the laws in Thailand.

My questions are:

1. How can I show proof of my salary (which will be paid through SWIFT to my Thai bank account) given that I’m not currently allowed to work on a student visa?

2. Over the past three years, I haven’t paid any taxes because I was on a student visa. I’ve been living off savings from my previous job. If they ask for proof of tax payments, how should I handle this situation?

I’d greatly appreciate any advice, suggestions, or alternative approaches. Thanks!

Hi everyone! I’m on a Non O (married to Thai) visa with the annual extension ending in June. Unfortunately I’m going through a divorce (common farang/thai situation 😒) and will change to the DTV next month.

QUESTION please: Do I need to cancel my Non O visa before leaving the Thailand to apply for the DTV? Or are there any other steps I need to do please?

I was hoping to have the DTV visa lined up before the divorce is final since I have made Thailand my home and plan to return.

Thanks in advance for all your help! 🙏

Hi everyone!

I’m planning to switch to the Non-Immigrant O Marriage Visa soon as I am now married to a Thai citizen with a child.

I’ll be canceling my current visa, then apply for the initial 90-day visa out of the country.

Since I don’t want to be away from my wife and child for too long, I’m trying to ensure everything is prepared and that the process is as smooth as possible. I have some questions I’d love your advice on if you’ve been through this recently:

1️⃣ E-Visa Process: Has anyone recently applied for the 90-Day Non-Immigrant O Visa through the new e-visa process? Any tips?

2️⃣ Country Choice: Should I go to Vietnam, Lao, or Cambodia to apply? Which is more efficient or hassle-free? The embassy in Vientiane says about 10 to 15 days while Ho Chi Minh City says only 5.

3️⃣ Address Details: Should I list the hotel address where I’ll stay in the country I apply in, the Thai house I’m renting, or my home country address?

Should I add my Thai home or home country as a permanent address option?

4️⃣ Intended Departure Date: Should I put the date 3 months from arrival or a year out?

5️⃣ Accommodation Type: I rent a house—should I select “Guesthouse” or “Private Property”?

6️⃣ Financial Evidence: Will an online bank statement from ibanking.bangkokbank.com work? Or should I get the bank to print it out and then scan it for upload?

7️⃣ Proof of Relationship: When I was going to apply in person they asked for a copy of the Kor. 2 from the local office, so do I need that as well or just upload my child's Thai birth certificate and original Thai marriage cert.?

When applying in person, they asked for additional documents like maps, photos of us at home, and house registration. Do I need anything else like that?

Any advice, experiences, or tips would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Hi there a very quick question as I’m not getting a straight answer from Thailand Elite. If someone who currently holds an Elite Visa accepts a job here in Thailand my understanding is that they would need to obtain a Business Visa which would then support a work permit as an Elite is simply a long term Tourist visa. Is this correct and what’s the process and the approximate cost of this ; and secondly if the job didn’t work out how would someone move back onto the Elite Visa?

Apologies for the long question but Thailand Elite don’t seem to be giving the right information.

I currently own a share of a business while living and working in the marketing field in Thailand with a non-immigrant B visa and work permit till May 25. I want to relinquish my share of the company, stop my current visa, re-enter on a DTV, and then go full-time remote online marketing for clients back in the UK.

I have a portfolio of work and the 500k in funds available, but the only thing I worry about is my previous month's bank statements, as not much has been happening in my English accounts, and most of my money has been via cash in Thailand. for example, my 500k would be easiest shown if I could place the cash into my current Thai bank account and show it this way. Has anybody had any experience with similar?

Any help will be appreciated.

Dear community 🙏

Is there someone who has applied for a dtv after the ed-visa has expired? Is there a possibility to apply for an dtv-visa (and get approved) if I was on a one year ed-visa?

My ed- visa will expire in January next year and I am wondering if I can apply for dtv-visa after the ed-visa has expired.

Any help is appreciated 🙏❣️
