Hi,

TM30 question. Last day of my one year lease is 25 November 2025. I returned home today after a few days in a Thai hotel in holiday. I believe: Check in should be 10 October and check out should be 25 November (both 2025). Is that correct??​ Trying to help the real estate agent get it done correctly. If there should be any changes please let me know.

Hi All,

I am about to move to Samui and have a Bronze Elite Visa and looking to buy a Villa that has a Thai Company as part of the sale.

Am I able to work if I have this Visy and have 49% of a Thai Company.

Thanks in Advance

Hi and something slightly different. Does anyone know an agent in Nakon Ratchasima who can process an application for a foreigner to get a Yellow house book in Chackorat. Thanks.

I wonder if you bought a property in gf name at the same time set up 30 year lease to yourself would that work? Just a thought) would check with lawyer of course)

Your thoughts please, expecting some colourful replies 👍

Anyone knew how to get a Thai address i.e bills and bank statement for my licence application.

Just clarifying but is there any policy that stops a DTV holder from buying an apartment or condo? Is renting out the property also legal on a DTV visa?

My Experience Traveling to Thailand with the New DTV (Destination Thailand Visa) from India

Hi everyone, I wanted to share my recent travel experience using the new Digital Travel Visa (DTV), which might help others planning their trip.

I received my DTV in early March (I’ve already shared a thread on how I got it—check the group for details). I traveled to Bangkok on March 24th via IndiGo Airlines, but I faced an issue at check-in. The airline staff was unaware of the DTV and initially denied my check-in for not having a return ticket. They insisted that Indian passport holders are only allowed a 60-day stay. Unfortunately, I had weak internet and couldn’t open the official portal to show the updated guidelines.

After a few minutes, another staff member searched online and found the new visa rules, after which I was allowed to board.

✅ No issues at Indian immigration (Bengaluru Airport).

✅ At Bangkok immigration, I was in the regular line (while most Indians were sent to the visa exemption queue). I informed the officer about my DTV and mentioned I was looking for a house for long-term living. He asked about my work and whether I planned to buy property in Thailand. I replied yes, and he smiled and welcomed me warmly!

Key Takeaways for DTV Holders:

➡️ Many airlines are still unaware of the new DTV. Carry proof of your visa and be prepared to explain it.

➡️ Immigration officers in Thailand seem well-informed and welcoming.

➡️ Internet access at check-in is important—have screenshots or saved documents just in case.

Happy to share that I’ve now secured a beautiful villa in Phuket and will be relocating with my family next month! We are looking for like minded families to get along and friends for my 6 years young, energetic and English speaking daughter in Thalang. I'm a Entrepreneur and a Youtuber working from home.

Hope this helps others planning their journey. Feel free to ask if you have any questions!

Safe travels, everyone! ✈️

Hi all hope u all well

If we buy a house in Thailand if and when we come to sell can we take the money out of Thailand if we don’t want to stay living there

Thanks
