So, when I get a cell phone in my name, will my receipt reflect that? Debating on getting it in the small town near me or going to Khon Kaen. Not sure if the small town cell provider would know what I'm talking about for proof of the plan in my name. Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I’m a British citizen living in Thailand and I’m planning to renew my UK passport from here.

I read this article from Pattaya Mail about the process, and it mentions that proof of address in Thailand must be from the Thai or UK government (like a Thai driving licence, pink residency card, or correspondence from a UK authority).

I don’t have a Thai driving licence or a pink ID card — only a TM30 from my landlord showing my registered address.

For anyone who has *recently* renewed their British passport from within Thailand, was the TM30 enough as proof of address, or did you have to get something else (like a letter from immigration, bank, or local council)?

Any tips or recent experience would really help. Thanks!

Hi everyone

Q. 1 I arrive to Jomtien on a Non-O 90 day visa Nov 9. When opening a bank account can I use my Hotel address or do I need a lease for a condo?

Q. 2 After opening a bank account can I use Wise to deposit my 800k or do I need to transfer from an International bank?

TIA

Hey folks

Putting together all the documents needed for my workation DTV. (no more applications through Thai embassy in london anymore by the way? Other than bank statements, cover letter, screenshots of website, proof of address/passport photo/copy of passport....do i need anything else before I go forward with it all? I prefer to have all the documents and send it off in one sitting 😅. Any advise is good advise <3 big love

I've searched in this group about requirements for a 1 year extension on my Non-Immigrant O "Retirement" Visa but could not find.

It's about proof of address, is my initial TM30 receipt enough to bring copies of?

That TM30 landlord submit at Immigration Office within 24 hours every time I'm at girlfriends rented apartment in Saraburi when coming in from abroad.

Thanks.

I am going to be applying for the Workcation (Digital nomad/remote worker/foreign talent/freelancer) from the UK.

I have my own business in the UK.

UK passport

Can anyone advise on what I need please. I have read the website but want to make sure I cover all bases.

Thank you in advance.

Any Aussies in here who've applied for the DTV via Sydney Thai consulate? I'm just wondering what they accept as proof of 500k baht since it seems to differ between embassies? thank you!

(Also, what doc did you use for showing location?)

Approved DTV in 3 days - workcation from Canada

No additional questions. Let me share some tips:

I did put things to gather in a very organized used way and met each of their requirements. With a nice cover letter explaining my situation and my purpose for coming to Thailand (workcation - no additional business ties and not working in Thailand for a Thai company etc)

I was a bit confused about whether to apply as business owner or employee since I am employee of a corporation that I own.

The employee route is the way to go in this case.

I just signed my own letter saying I am permitted to work overseas. Beyond this they also want articles of incorporation and an explanation of the business (I went a bit overboard here and gave them some screenshots of my e-commerce store front and business bank statement showing money coming in)

For personal financial proof I provided my bank account and it showed my salary being deposited each month from my business.

Drivers license worked as proof of address.

Just communicate with them before you apply about questions and they will clarify them for you. (Canadian embassy people seem pretty nice)

I got my DTV Visa! Thanks, everyone, for all the help. Now... I need to get my wife and kids. Question, on the visa they ask for "document indicating current location" for my wife, she has a driver's license from our address from 15 years ago, not our current address (AZ drivers' licenses last until you are 65 so having the same ID even when you move is very common) We do have a water bill in her name. Do you think this will work? Second question, how do I prove this for my kids when they have no ID or bills in their name at our address?

I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Hello to those who applied in the UK, any red flags in my application? I am unsure whether I need to prove my relationship to the address stated on my documents (utility), as I don't currently live at that address
