Can a person apply for the DTV by signing up for a Muay Thai or cooking course ,

AND ALSO get his spouse over for 10k THB ?

- will it work for this DTV option ?

Does the spouse need proof of financial stability with personal bank account showing 500k THB , or can he/she be using the same joint account with their spouse ?

Anybody can advise , thanks 🙏

Hi All

Currently leave in Australia with Thai partner and our young Son

Who both have Thai passports.

Look at retirement very soon in Buriram Thailand.

What is the best way about to get a visa retirement or spouse visa?

Is it best to apply at the Thai embassy in Australia or Thailand,

Suggest an agent or not.

I would appreciate your valued comments please to assist .

Hey everyone,

I've done a search for this already in the group, but the results were a bit dated.

I'm currently in Thailand on a tourist visa, but going to apply for a Non-O visa (spouse visa) in Kuala Lumpur in February. From the info I've gathered, everything is done online now. It recommends applying 2-weeks ahead of the intended travel date to Thailand, but also says you CANNOT apply from within Thailand.

I'm guessing that as soon as I touch down in KL, I should submit my documents. Has anyone done this? If so, how long did it take for them to process your visa?

Thank you! 🙏

Afternoon, I’m looking for some advice in renewing my 90 days spouse type o non immigration visa. I’m wishing to extend it for a year.. my 90 day visa runs out on the 18 of February. How long in advance do I have to review it?

Many thanks 🙏🏼

Does my spouse have to have 500k in an account of their own? All of our accounts are joint. Can I submit the same proof for both of us? What about our son? He's under 8. We have an investment account for him but it's not in his name because he's a minor.

Is it possible to get approval for DTV if I am married a Thai citizen?

Hi, how does it work regarding getting the DTV visa for your spouse? Do u apply together or does one apply first then later for the spouse?

Thank you

So I have been living and working in Japan for around 15 years or so, but have never really needed to get my PR, so haven't gone down that route. I have a spouse visa though. Does anyone know if this is going to be good enough to apply for the DTV in Tokyo or is it strictly PR? Can anyone with experience please share their insights? I've read mixed reports, but mostly stating PR is a must. TIA!

Happy to announce my visa was approved. I then put in for my husband’s visa as my spouse and husband was approved last night. Couple of issues with my visa application. However, this was my issue not the Embassies.

Thanks for all the help in this group. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
