Well I never expected that 45 years later I would have a problem with my past. I am married to a Thai woman and want to move permanently to Thailand yet everywhere I look must not have a criminal record

Is there any help for me?

Is it possible to use your DTV visa awarded after arrival back in Thailand, if do, how?

Hey everyone. I’m a freelancer looking to apply for a DTV visa for my wife and I from Taiwan. I have several ongoing clients, but have only recently become a digital nomad. Is it a necessity to have an LLC, or is being a sole proprietor sufficient? And how many months do I need to show for income? Please advice. Thanks.

Hello All, I am applying for the DTV visa. For the 10000 baht fees, did you pay a bit more with the conversion rate?

As I can see on my side, it shows the fee in my local currentcy on the payment page, which equals to 13356 baht.

Just wanna check if it is normal? Or am I on the wrong application site?😅

I am currently a DTV visa holder and applied for my spouse under the dependent category on Monday, including a sponsorship letter. However, the consular requested additional documents to clearly show my salary income in the bank statement I submitted. Since my salary is paid by my home country bank in mmk currency, I used my Bangkok Bank account for the statement. To address the request, I submitted my last six pay slips, highlighted the currency exchange transactions in the bank statement, and provided a clarification letter. Has anyone else experienced a similar situation?

Got my visa today.(Ho chi Minh )Applied last week on Tuesday but had to send proof of address. Stamp wasn't enough so I added my rental contract.

I work as a tutor online. I sent the link to my profile on the site I work on and wrote what I do and sent a 6 month earnings report.

Bank statement 6 months. The amount was there from the beginning.

Is there any type of background check that is needed for a DTV visa?

If you want to use a cooking class for the soft power category for the DTV: does the cooking school have to be certified by the MOE (ministry of education) or is it enough to have a booking confirmation of a multi-week class and the payment slip for it (maybe id and business registration of the owner/company?)? anyone got any experiences with this? Any other documents needed in case of the cooking class route besides the financial proof? preferably applying via eVisa in germany but a thai neighboring country would also be an option. Thanks in advance.

I am now pretty much ready to retire in Thailand. I have used it as a base to travel in Asia as a tourist on and off over the last couple of years and used the multiple entry visa as it was designed to.

I went to Udon Thani immigration to enquire about the possibility of changing to a 90 day visa and then a retirement visa. The lady said it is now very difficult to do. You need Thai witnesses, house visits, etc and takes a long time. She seemed genuine and suggested I get the 90 day visa back in the UK.

I checked with a visa agent in Udon Thani and they said they now charge 70,000 THB because it has become so complex with checks and witnesses, which backs up the IO's previous statement.

As I have come back to the UK for family reasons I am going to apply for the 90 day visa here for retirement here, and then seek to switch it to the one year retirement extension when back there. I already have a condo and the seasoned funds in BKK, does it matter that my current 6month multiple entry tourist visa is still valid until February? Anything else to look out for? The application online has been streamlined and looks extremely simple.

Is it planned to be more easy to apply for the DTV e.g. without leaving Thailand? Why is it not even possible now? And yeah I know it's a new visa and not fully developed yet, but damn... I can't be the only one who finds that super exhausting. You can even apply for the funny ED Visa within Thailand.
