Good afternoon,

I have to cancel my retiree visa at immigration 1 in Bangkok. Should I take an appointment or just walk in to do it ?

Thks in advance for advice

If the Retirement visa got approved can he bring along his wife and children with that Visa. Are there additional requirements?

Successful DTV last week - family of 5

DTV type: digital nomad

Location of application: Taipei

Sunday 16 March

* evening arrive with my wife and kids in Taiwan

* already had online info entered in, submitted my DTV application

Monday 17 March

* 9:30am reply from Thai office. They want some sort of official entry/exit certification. I research this and read that you're supposed to be a Taiwan resident in order to get it. Panic begins to set it.

* 11:00am I think all hope is lost, but decide to go to the Taiwan Immigration Agency and just see what happens.

* 2pm after a long queue, I successfully obtain the required certification doc. I'm in shock but happy. I upload it and resubmit my DTV application.

* 7:30pm DTV approved. I add this to dependent applications and turn them all in.

Tuesday 18 March

* First thing in the morning: I bring my wife and kids to the Taiwan Immigration Agency and get their certificates.

* Mid-Morning: As expected, Thailand replies wanting these certificates. I upload them immediately and resubmit all dependent applications.

Wednesday 19 March

* 6pm DTVs approved for dependents.

Thursday morning we flew to Thailand.

I currently hold an ED plus Visa, and my husband and baby currently have Non-O Visas (as dependents on my visa). According to the new rules, my ED plus Visa can be converted to another visa within Thailand.

My question is:

If I get a Non-B Visa, can my husband and baby do an in-country conversion from one Non-O to another Non-O (linked to my Non-B), or will they have to leave Thailand?

If conversion is not possible within country can they come on tourist visa and then convert to new non-o

Hi, my husband and I plan to retire to Bangkok in July 2025. We are currently retired and have combined monthly income of over 300,000 baht. Moving with us are our 32 year old daughter and grandson who will turn 4 in July. Is te 65,000 baht per person and can our daughter and grandson go on the same visa as us?

Hi, I just got my DTV, that I applied for when I was in Spain last month, but was granted when I arrived back in the island.

I understand I need to go to a Visa run to stamp it.

My question is: how to apply for the DTV3 for my family? I asked the Spanish Embassy, but if we are not in Spain anymore, they can't help. I also talked with visa agents and the immigration office and they don't have it clear.

Any ideas?

Quick question, do I need to get my DTV application approved before submitting my dependent family members applications? Or all at once? (Applying in Penang)

Hey I'm from the UK and hoping to go to Thailand on the dtv visa. I plan on taking my partner and 2 young children with me on the visa. Can anyone please give me an idea of how much I will need in my bank account to cover all 4 of us? I'm getting mixed messages on Google... Thankyou 🙂

No we are not married but we have two children together and both our names are on the birth certificate so I thought this would be enough to satisfy them that we are together with children but not married. We were all born in the UK yes.

We plan on staying out there a while, not just for a holiday.

Can I apply for the visa first, then once it is accepted can I then transfer the £12,000 into his bank account? Or would this just be too obvious on his bank statements? I don't understand why I can't just sponser all 3 of them whilst we are out there as I will be the one working online? I don't understand why we all need £12,000 in the bank for this.... It doesn't make sense for most travelling nomad families to have over £25000 in savings....but makes sense for them to have a small cushion and means to support themselves whilst living there. I was also considering putting my eldest (6) into an international school, would this make any difference?

It does say also that although the visa is valid for 5 years, we would have to leave after 180 days anyway and come back in?

Would it just be easier for us to get no visa initially for a month, get a tourist visa and then boarder run and repeat? How long would this work for?

Thanks 🙏

Hi fellow Thailand enthusiasts,

Apologies if this seems like a silly question, but I thought I’d ask. I’ll be applying for the DTV soft power visa for Thailand in Vietnam, Hanoi. My wife and our 6-month-old son will also apply as dependents under my visa.

As we prepare for the trip to Vietnam, we’re wondering if we need to stay by the embassy (to go in anytime) and how long we should plan to stay. I understand that I need to apply for my DTV first, and then I can apply for my wife and child’s dependent DTVs. However, I’m unsure about the processing times—would it take around 10 days for mine and then another 10 days for theirs, or could everything be processed simultaneously?

Has anyone here traveled as a family to Vietnam for this purpose? How long did the entire process take for you?

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Hello, I would like to ask a question about DTV. When applying as a couple, do we need to have 1 million baht in the bank account?
