Hi everyone, if anyone on dtv has experience on doing dtv visa for newborn baby In Thailand? Thank you

Heading back home in a couple of weeks. I plan to apply for the DTV visa while I’m there.

Is there anything I should take care of now while I’m still in Thailand documents, paperwork, or parts of the process or can everything be handled from the U.S.?

Also, for showing income: I’m paid two ways from the same company, which I’m part owner of. First, I receive a regular monthly salary. Second, I receive monthly distributions that vary a lot. Both are well above the required amount, the salary alone already meets the requirement.

Should I avoid mentioning the distributions to prevent confusion, or is it better to show the higher total income even if the salary alone qualifies?

Thanks in advance.

Is there a good visa agent in Pattaya that can help me with DTV anyone can recommend? Much thanks.

Hi everyone! I’m planning to apply for a DTV and I need to provide an employment letter.

Can anyone share what information the employer needs to include in that letter?

Appreciate your help!

Hi all re: 90 day reporting, where must you go the very first time? (& are you then able to do online thereafter?)

Cheers,

Hello has anyone ever had a problem getting a medical Visa with rheumatoid arthritis and yes I am on meds for it thank you for any help

OK, I know its early and things of course will change but I like to get things some what planned out.

I posted the other day that I am exploring doing the DTV visa via Muay Thai classes. Rather do that then the retirement visa (will be 50 when I arrive). The 500k baht not an issue (have that locked away already) will even be making over 100k baht a month while in Thailand. *I don't want to lock in 800k baht in a Thai bank, I have heard reports of the banks freezing foreign account holders accounts.*

Some additional questions that I have and hope to get answered.

DTV visa is a 5 year visa, do I need to stay enrolled in Muay Thai the whole time in Thailand?

The visa is good for 180 days, do the day restart everytime I come back to Thailand? For example I came in and 2 months later I go to Malaysia for 2 weeks, do I start my 180 days over again?

Is it difficult to get a Thai bank account with a DTV visa? Simply want to be able to move and access money without paying high transfer and ATM fees.

Thank you for any advice you can offer.

Hi, my lease will expire while I'm back in my home country (planned) and I was planning on booking a hotel upon my return while I look at some new long-term rentals. Has anybody been returning on their DTV and had any issues when they didn't have long-term accommodations? Typically for a tourist visa they don't require long-term but I wasn't sure if any of the airport immigration checkpoints were treating it differently.

Thanks

I applied for my DTV for April 2026. Will it automatically be rejected just because of the three months? I'm surprised they would allow you to enter a later date, but then cancel and charge you the 350€ just because it was >3 months from the application date...

I recently applied and haven't heard back. Do you think I have any chances of asking to push the date forward (change of plans) if I call the consulate?

I applied through Spain

Just got granted my DTV Visa at the Royal Embassy Canberra.
