Hi asking for some advice, sor for a long post

I’m in the process of a divorce with my thai wife, we lived outside Chiang Mai near Doisaket so now have to start all over again, don’t really have much in Australia

I have to change visa’s as marriage visa no longer an option so considering this visa as a possibility but not sure

I work offshore on ships in Australia/ worldwide (mainly Australia) 4 on/ 4 off & want to stay living in Thailand as have been here for around 12yrs & have been seeing a doctor since August 24 for some serious health conditions (heart) & diabetes

Not sure if DVT or LVR is best? DVT is cheaper but not sure if I would qualify under workcation as technically I work remotely on ships in Australia or worldwide but not a digital nomad

Under soft options I could use my medical treatment but does the doctors need to be accepted/registered through /with this visa?

LTR initially 5 times the amount, 10 year visa, I meet the salary conditions under the “work from Thailand professional” can work for a Thai company, have health cover fo US$50K

Any advice if offshore would pass as work remotely or not for the workcattion & the soft option for my medical conditions & if any doctor can be used or if they have to be part of a conglomerate (BKK hospital or similar private system ect)

I have plans to return to Thailand in April 2025. I want to apply for the DVT visa, but I’m seeing you have to arrive within 3 months of approval. So do I wait to apply? Go for it now since it will take time to get approved? I won’t be back in my home country ( USA) for another 8 weeks. Apply then? Not staying long in home country, only 3 weeks then I’m off again. I definitely need accurate advice.

Applied for a DVT day before flying from UK to Thailand. Embassy is asking copy of ticket of new flights which i have and also a copy of boarding pass leaving Thailand to UK and a leaving stamp. I can upload new flights ticket for current travel but unsure of the leaving part section. Any advice?

Looking to apply for a dvt as an Australian citizen.

Do I just need to supply a business registration from Australia ? Starting a consulting company and wish to work on it from abroad

Hi all, please excuse me if this isn’t the best question. I am doing my research into visas as my wife really wants to move to Thailand. We are US citizens. She works remotely and I believe would apply for the DVT visa. What would I do in regards to a visa or our two kids? If there is some reference material I missed somewhere, I apologize, please point me in the right direction. Thank you all so much!

So I applied for the DVT on a remote work in New York and paid and it went to processing. Now it's been almost a month and half haven't gotten anything back so I'm concerned. How do I follow-up? I'm currently out of the country.

For those who have received a DVT going the cooking route, has anyone had success with a school in Bangkok apart from the Bangkok Thai Cooking Academy?

I thought I had initially seen courses in the $500 range that qualified for DVT, but now they’re over $1,000.

Yes, $1,000 is still a bargain for a 5 year visa. But there’s also the possibility that we’ll have to reup every 6 months, and leave the country as well. Those costs would certainly add up over 5 years.

Is there anyone planning to go to Ho Chi Minh for DVT visa application in September next week?

I want to book appointment for individual but there is no slot available.

However, the slot for group (more than 3 people) is still available.

Good morning,

I am planning on retiring in Thailand very soon. I already have a property with my terak.

I only want stay in Thailand for about 6 months at a time.

I was going to apply for a Non O retirement visa, but there seems to be a new DVT visa which allows a stay of up to 6 months.

Would this be a better option than a retirement visa?

Thank you in advance
