DTV Visa Approved

London embassy. Workcation. Rental Income.

Sharing in the hope that it might help others.

My situation:

Been living in Thailand just over 2 years, on Tourist visa(s) then Education visa.

Arrived back to UK on 2nd December and submitted visa application that night. Approved Sunday night, 8th December.

I have 2 rental properties in Scotland and I do a mix of renting long term and short term through Airbnb etc. I am living off my rental income and some savings.

Documents submitted:

Usual required docs, passport etc

4 months bank statements

3 months of Earnings reports from Airbnb

3 booking confirmations from another agency

Landlord registration

4 years of tax accounts

Cover letter stating my situation

Cover letter from my Thai girlfriend confirming I will be living with her, and included her rental agreement

Initially I submitted all the above combined into one pdf, in a good order, with my Cover letter first. A few days later, I had a request for further documentation which I found bizarre as it was requesting docs I had already submitted. So I just broke up the pdfs and submitted them again separately as requested, my tax accounts, my Cover letter, my "professional portfolio" being Earnings reports and booking confirmations.

In my Cover letter I stated my duties, which are communicating with guests / tenants, updating my calendars and prices, taking and lodging deposits when required, Liaising with cleaners for changeovers, Liaising with maintenance people when required. Etc.

I included the Flight number of my desired flight, not booked yet.

Hope this helps.

Good luck to all those applying

Hi

If you arrive on a 60 days exemption visa, but you wait 2 weeks to apply for TM30 (owning a house) will you get a fine ? Will it be a problem when applying for the non-immigrant O visa based on retirement ?

hello ,im divorced with thai woman,we have daughter and she have 24 years old now with double nationality ,can i ask thai nationality by this way? next 2 year i get retirement and i want buy house for her but with my name,thanks if somebody can answer me

Anyone done a Thai pre-nup or guide on how to reduce risk of keeping a loving blushing bride from turning into a money chugging she devil ex transforming you into a Thai street pauper? Aside from not tying the knot in the first place? Serious question but stupid answers also welcomed for entertainment value :-)

My wife (thai) and I bought a house in Hua Hin earlier this year. In the Chanote, I am given the rigth to use the property as long as I live.

Now I want to get a TR visa for 60 days (e-visa), but what can I attach for documentation for accomodation?

Do I really need an invitation from my wife???

Can someone set me straight. I own a house here with no address or book and a lifelong lease on the land, the officers in my area know me so the house address thing isnt an issue. I left the country for 2 weeks and returned, I went to do my 90 day report and forgot to do a TM30 when I got back so I added that and they seemed very confused, I explained I went out of the country. Aren't I supposed to do it anytime I come back home from traveling? What if I stay at a hotel somewhere else a few nights and return back home, do I need to do one again? So confused with this now. Thanks in advance.

PINK ID CARDS

This came about in another thread yesterday where someone has been issued a pink card for life mine is for 10 years which i thought was the norm. Just wondering other people who have pink cards how long are the valid for.

For thise that dont read it, second card right hand side says for life.

Hi guys,a question for you that I can’t find the answers to and hopefully someone on here knows… I should be getting married in Thailand soon and I can get ether a marriage visa or a retirement visa there…but my question is..I have no intention of ever working there or need to,but I do want to build my own house there,would that be classified as me working there if it’s for my own use and I’m obviously not getting paid for it ? Thanks in advance

Can we get back into Phuket if we have a house there but no residency or work visa?

Does owning a property and living on an off in Thailand for the last six years.Does that mean I have strong ties

In Thailand
