Hello everyone.

Has anyone applied for residency in Ho Chi Minh City since Sunday, December 28th? My son's application as a dependent (I've had my DTV since early October) is still pending "Document Check" today.

Thank you in advance for your replies, and best wishes for the new year to all.

I have been on paid administrative leave since February 1, in a DOGE deal to retire September 30 (thank you US taxpayers!) I have not worked since February but receive full pay and benefits. I will have all my O-A visa paperwork ready next week. I will arrive BKK October 25. I don't see anything that says I must already be retired. Consulate says "This type of visa may be issued to applicants aged 50 years and over who wish to stay in Thailand for a period of not exceeding 1 year without the intention of working. Holders of this type of visa are allowed to stay in Thailand for 1 year. Employment of any kind is strictly prohibited." Do they mean working in Thailand? I'd like to submit my package early September but maybe I wait till Oct 1?

Is there an age limit for applying for Muay Thai visa? Apparently there is an age limit limit for the Thai language so figured I would ask about this as well as the cooking visa. Thanks for any “concrete” information you may have.

Hello All, as of right now what is the closest country to thailand with the quickest visa turnaround? Not looking to make a vacation out of it, just go, get it done and head back, let me know thanks team!

Has anyone received their DTV based on having lasik surgery?

Would trailing spouse be applicable as well?

Do we need 6 month of income? I have worked for the same company for 5 months now.

I read that dtv is for seniors also, does anyone know under what category will allow this ole guy to enter for 180 days on a dtv visa?

Hello, does the TM28 still need to be filled out? I heard that it has been scrapped. Thanks.

As far as I know, today there were several DTV applications rejected at the Royal Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The Embassy didn't announce the rejection reason.

It seems they are treating the DTV application very strictly and very seriously

Hi everyone, I would really appreciate some clarity...

I have accepted a job at an International school in Chiang Mai starting August 1st. I currently live in Hong Kong and the visa process here takes a long time (police check wait time is 2 plus months) I'm not sure I'd be able to make it to Thailand by August 1st.

Can I go to Chiang Mai mid July on a tourist visa and have it converted to a non B visa? If so, how long is the approval time and would a Thai police check be sufficient?
