Looking at the DTV and doing a Thai cooking class to qualify (too old and unskilled to be a digital nomad). Is the class a one-off for the 5 year duration, or are they expecting you to do a new class every 180 days?

With the cash requirement, would an Australian Super fund balance that I have total access to be sufficient, or does it have to be in a bank?

Hi everyone! I would have a question.. Are there some people who received the DTV VISA without the savings on a bank account? I have enough savings but not on a bank account... Would appreciate every answer. Thx in advance. :)

I have a DTV. Been here for years and done many 90 day reports online. This is my first time with the DTV. Do I still need to go to immigration in person even though I already have done online reporting before? (Seeing this would be the first time with a DTV)

If I have more than 500,000 THB in my bank account and I want to apply for the DTV visa, will I be asked to show for proof of monthly income? Does it even ask for proof of income? I’m getting mixed answers so I need to clarify.

Hi guy's.

I'm 46, unemployed as I don't need to work anymore.

I want to apply for the DTV visa.

I have a Thai bank account with the 500k.

I have the letter from the Muay Thai school for 1 yr that I attend every day.

I have a 1 yr rental contract for my apartment.

I've seen from lots of different people's post's that they asK for proof of employment etc.

I obviously can't provide that as I'm retired.

Has anyone else applied in my situation?

Thank you for any feedback.

Has anyone already extended their DTV visa by 180 days at immigration to KPG?

They rejected my DTV and gave me only half a year instead of five years - out of compassion. How often do I need to renew my visa at immigration - every 30, 60, or 90 days?

Hey awesome people. Got my DTV thanks to this group. Just looking for confirmation that I got my head screwed on properly about some things.

1) 1st day of me landing in Thailand - that's Day 01 of 180, correct?

2) Whenever I reside in a new place, TM30 must be reported by the landlord, correct?

3) Day 90, I must report 90-day reporting - first time must be in-person, correct?

4) If I leave before Day 180, the second Day 90 reporting is NOT required, correct?

5) When I return, my 180 days will be reset... then my next Day 90 reporting must be in-person again, correct?

Thanks everyone!

I got a visa rejection in Hanoi last month, but I’ve reapplied for the DTV from Phnom Penh, Cambodia, on April 4, 2025. Right now, it’s at the pending approval stage, but it hasn’t been approved yet. I’m just a bit worried—do you think it’s safe? Like, is there still a chance it could get rejected? I thought it should’ve been done by now. Has anyone ever gotten rejected even after reaching the pending approval stage?

Have read many comments about DTV holders being questioned in BKK and DMK. Personally, was never questioned much in any of these locations.

Am planning to arrive at Pattaya airport (UTP). Has anyone got any experience arriving at this airport?
