Question, I am happily married to a Thai national over 20 years, can my wife gives me a lease agreement on the house we built or a rental agreement (instead of living expenses)

Same shit different shit.

Visited 8 times. Just purchased land with national Thai wife.

Now , to figure out the next things to do regarding visa, driving, building house and so much more I don’t even know about. I would like to spend part of the year in Thailand ,during the best months , and part of the year in USA.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been rejected twice.

First time at the Laos embassy: funds were not held for 3 months on my Thai bank account (they only issued a 6-month DTV).

Second time at The Hague: fully rejected, no reason given.

I applied under Soft Power (Muay Thai) and I actively train. I travel in and out of the country a lot. My income comes from a property I own in Thailand and rent out via Airbnb. This income is visible on my bank statements. During the second application, they specifically questioned the Airbnb income. I provided ownership documents.

Could owning property or having rental income in Thailand be a reason for rejection?

And is it a mistake to show the funds on a Thai bank account? Would a foreign/Dutch account be better for a third application (possibly Vietnam)?

Any insights are appreciated. Thanks 🙏

Hi confused

Looking to buy a condo

3 different ways foreign freehold Thai freehold leasehold

I now you need to be Thai to buy Thai freehold(and possible bit cheaper)

But why do the prices so different for same type of propertys

I understand leasehold length off lease could make a difference

Can understand why there can be so much difference in price

Would a home purchase offset the need to show an account balance?

With DTV, remote worker Visa. Is it possible to get a Thai bank account? Need it because i bought a property and need to be able to anage the finances around it. Pay fees, taxes, rental income etc. Thanks

I have seen posts on this group where people are saying they are getting a A dtv visa for being a house/property owner and renting out the property/ properties.

I own a house in Gambia that I rent out long term. Can I use my house rental to get a DTV ?

I have more than £20k in a UK savings account

TIA

Hello everyone, I am currently putting together my professional profile for a DTV. I am a company Director but it’s a fairly new business. I’m a British/Irish national as landlord and house developer in USA. Currently only have 4 properties under the company name. Other than providing my company registration certificate, company bank account statement, proof of title ownership of properties, I don’t know what else I can provide? I was thinking I should probably write a letter explaining what it is I actually do?

I have more than sufficient funds in my accounts so assume that won’t be an issue.

Any advice would be helpful thank you.

Currently on Extension based on Retirement - Bangkok - and on rental -

Purchasing a unit would mean that as of February 2026 i wont be tenant with rental contract ans rather owner of my own unit -

At yearly extension in May 26 how does it work?

Which papers / documentation should be shown. ?

TIA

Question about the dependants visa.

Is this their own visa or is it tied to the original visa somehow. As in, can they travel in/out separately? Renew separately?

My hubs and I own a commercial property we lease out in the US. Hoping this would suffice for DTV. Wondering if we should do the DTV + dependent or both get our own DTV. We often travel separately as we have different interests.

Our family bank account has both our names on it, will this be a problem when we apply?

Thanks for any help.

Cheers
