Hey all,

We plan to head over again this fall but would like to try and obtain a DTV visa.

We have a steady monthly income of around 150k Thai bhat but we don’t have “digital nomad employment”

However, We would like to do a trial run before of a couple of months to make sure this is our right move.

What’s the timeline on obtaining DTV. We are open to hanging out in a neighbouring country for a short time once our 60 days are complete, but I have read you have to apply for DTV from your home country.

Any insights?

Also. Anyone who’s moved their Dog with them, what was the appropriate channels? What documents will be required?

Hello everyone - maybe a bit of a weird one 🐶

But, I am hoping of making a long term move to Thailand going down the DTV route but initially coming in as a tourist. I’ve been preparing my dog for a move (she came with me from Mexico > Europe) but just noticed that the import certificate is only valid for 60 days.

Does anyone know if these dog import certificates can be extended or have experience with owning a “foreign” dog in Thailand for a period longer than 60 days? Or can dogs do “visa runs” too, seems unlikely as paperwork is so difficult to import/export in the first place.

Any advice super appreciated! Already reached out to Relo4Pets just waiting for them to get back to me and was curious to see if anyone else has been through this 🐶✨

Is there an agency that could assist me with bringing my pets from US to Thailand? I have two cats. One is over 20 lbs… thanks in advance

Hi all. Has anyone had any experience bringing a pet into Thailand with the DTV visa? I have a pet transport agency helping me through the process, but I’d love to hear your firsthand experience. Thanks!

Planing on moving jan 2026. Family of 4. Also 2 cats 2 dogs. Any advice?

I pan on doing dtv visa for me and my husband is going to do education visa.

Also what do you think is a good monthly income for a family of 4 in bangkok or phuket? Or other cities i should look into?

The person posting that this is an image from the animal cargo bay of a commercial airline, is trying to mislead people. As you can see from the photo this is not from one of the large passenger airlines. You can see the area is small and see the curve of the walls. Please don't be fooled by misinformation.

Hi All.. I am planning to arrive in Thailand on a tourist visa and convert to retirement visa. I am bringing my cat (I have had numerous discussions with him and he does not want to stay in the UK anymore either). I was planning to arrive a few weeks before the cat but am now told I possibly need a long term visa to import the cat, contrary to previous advice. Thai authorities only seem to require a copy of passport but no visa for import licence? Does anyone have any experience on this as I have spoken to the pet relocation company and they do not have a diffinitive answer either. I would rather not stay in the UK for another 3 months, so any help appreciated…

Everything else, has anyone taken a pet out to Thailand, if so how difficult was it?.

Hello members . Has anyone on here flown a dog over to Thailand if so what company did you use and how much did it cost please many thanks 👍
