I’m currently stay with DTV but now I need to change the Guardian visa (Non O). Can I change visa within Thailand? Some people say that it can make within thailand and don’t need to go outside of the country.

If anybody knows about it, please share for me.

Thank you.🙏🏻

Dear all,

My name is Christian and I’m a married father of 2 kids (10 and 6 years old).

We might intent to relocate to BKK next year from the UAE where we live and work today. My wife and I are 41 years old and have a German passport, UAE residency and UAE tax residency not paying income tax at all.

Once moved to Thailand, we will live off passive income

My questions:

- What kind of visa could we use?

- Is DTV an option?

- ⁠can we apply for a guardian visa for my kids who will study at an international English speaking private school in BKK?

- ⁠how to minimise or avoid Thai income tax legally ?

- ⁠can you recommend a good visa law / tax consulting firm?

Thanks for your help.

I would appreciate your advice regarding my upcoming Guardian Visa extension. I am currently on my first-year extension, and for last year’s application, I submitted a consular legalized birth certificate as proof of relationship.

Could you please confirm whether I can re-use the same document for this year’s extension, or if I need to obtain a newly consular legalized version? If so, how long such certified documents are considered valid.

Thank you so much🙏

Hello everyone, I hope you’re all well. I would like to ask for your advice and help regarding my visa situation.

I am currently holding a guardian visa issued by Bangkok Immigration (Chaeng Wattana) since my son is studying in Bangkok. My residence address, however, is in Samut Prakan province.

I am planning to change my visa type to a retirement visa.

* Can I process the change of visa in Samut Prakan Immigration, or do I need to go back to Chaeng Wattana?

* Do I have to wait until my current visa expires before applying for the retirement visa, or can I apply for the change at any time?

Any guidance or experience you could share would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Hi all, I'm currently in Thailand on a guardian visa and want to switch to DTV. If i'm planning to fly out soon out of Thailand, to come back in 2 months time with hopefully a DTV visa, can I already start the application now while physically being in Thailand? I can provide all the necessary paperwork showing proof of residency abroad( (in my home country).

Hi all I'm looking to move to Thailand in the coming years and I will have a small child with me what visa will I need

I do know that I have to hold a non-immigrant visa for 3years before I can become a Thai resident anything else will be helpful

Question - I have a guardian visa. We went on vacation, got a re-entry permit and came back in. Do I need to do my 90 day reporting from my last 90 day or from the date we re-entered the country?

Hi all, just wondering if anyone has had experience with parent visa’s in Thailand, we have a young girl, 9 months old and I believe you can stay for 1 year on the applicable visa. I’m aware you have to show proof you can support yourself whilst staying. Which of the visa’s is the best one to apply for? Obviously she’s too young to go to school at the moment. I would probably still have to do 90 day reporting, which is no problem.

I was wondering if anyone knows can kids go to school (international school) if they join me on a DTV?
