Hi All

Thanks for the add.

We intend to retire to Hua Hin around April 2027 and we are visiting on holiday in March 2026 for three weeks.

Is there anything I can do during our holiday in March to help with the retirement in 2027.

We will both be 62 on retirement and both UK citizens.

Any advise would be appreciated.

I want to visit Thailand for 3-4 months. I don't have 800,000 baht in the bank! What is the best visa/visa renewal combination for me as a UK citizen? I am happy to leave for a neighbouring country and return.

Thanks

Hi folks, could I get a DTV if I book some dental work to be done in Thailand? Is relatively easy, simple?

I'm in and from the U.K.

Thankyou in advance for any helpful replys

Hey everyone 👋

I’m a UK citizen and own a US LLC, looking to apply for the Digital Nomad (DTV) visa.

Does anyone know a good agency that can assist with the process? Preferably one that’s responsive and trustworthy 🙏

Also, quick question — my LLC income goes into a business account with Mercury, and I don’t pay myself personally into my UK account.

Would that be an issue for the DTV application?

Hi all, need a bit of advice, I am planning a visit to Hanoi, I am from the UK. Can I apply for a Retirement non O visit at the Thai Embassy in Hanoi? I don’t want to travel back to the UK

DTV Approved! Big thanks to everyone here for the advice 🙏 Thought I’d share my experience:

* UK passport holder, sole trader running an online business.

* Applied in HCMC on 9th Sept. Sent: business + personal bank statements, a 4-page PDF of old socials, Shopify reports (turnover + sales last 2 years), a few supplier invoices, and scans of passport/exit stamps. All the other basic stuff they ask for on initial aplication.

On 15th Sept they asked for 6 months of salary slips (which I don’t have). I instead:

* Highlighted all transfers from my business to personal account over 6 months.

* Added a short cover letter explaining I take drawings instead of a salary + screenshot of £12k savings (~518,800 THB). Made sure the screenshot included the date and time on my computer.

* Combined everything into one PDF (important tip: keep each requested section as a single PDF).

They also wanted photos of every passport page (even blank ones) with proof of date/time. Couldn’t find a newspaper and spent far too long walking round Ho Chi Mihn looking for one 🤣 so I used a coffee shop receipt showing date/time next to the pages, again combined into one PDF.

📌 Timeline:

* Applied: 9 Sept

* Extra docs requested: 15 Sept

* Approved: 18 Sept 🎉

Thanks again for all the posts in this group, really helped.

If anyone has any questions about my application that might help please ask.

Hi everyone,

I’m wondering if anyone can help us, my husband and I are both UK citizens and have been here in Thailand for nearly 3 months.

We got married earlier this month and will be applying for DTV. Our visas expire on July 30th so will need to leave Thailand to apply for our DTV.

We have our legal Thai marriage certificate, does anyone know if this is ok to use as proof for me to join him on his DTV or does the certificate need to be translated back into English?

We will also add our 3 young children to the DTV as well.

Many thanks in advance for any advice :)

Hi, have tried google but got conflicting answers, am curious about the digital nomad visa. Will soon be working remotely for a UK company, am a British citizen, want to move to Thailand. Does the 180 days mean you can only stay 180 days in a single year? Or does it mean you have to do a border run every 180 days?

Hi guys. I am a Brit with a British passport. I successfully obtained the DTV via the London embassy last year, and then entered Thailand shortly after, getting the 180 day stamp at BKK, as expected. I stayed for 3 months then exited the country. All good.

I was issued the DTV as I was directly employed by a UK company that permitted me to work internationally remote. I provided a copy of my full employment contract and a brief cover letter from my boss.

But, I'm no longer employed by said company. I'm unemployed. But I am in sound financial standing and am considering returning to Thailand soon.

Obviously I still have the DTV as it's valid for 5 years.

Am I 'safe' to enter, even tho I'm no longer employed?

I know they ask for all the docs again when extending, but does anyone who's re-entered on the DTV lately know if they're asking for anything at immigration?

I am super conscious of not breaking any laws/rules. I always wondered how they would know someone reentering on the DTV is still eligible under the original conditions in which they applied. 5 years is a long time and inevitably circumstances change.

Thanks!

Hi, I am a UK citizen, and my 60 day visa exempt stamp expires on 9th April. I would like to apply to extend the stamp by 30 days at the local immigration office. Is it too early to do that yet, or do I need to go on 9th Aril ?

Your advice will be much appreciated.
