Has anyone applied for a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) at the Jakarta embassy? How long do I need to keep the baht 500,000 in my bank account before applying? Can I still apply if the funds have only been there for one week? Please share your experience!

Hey, been in Thailand on a retirement visa approaching 15 months, what documents do I need for renewal and I’m after the 65000 baht a month so I can access the 800000 baht. I am Australian.

Does anyone have an explanation for a residence certificate that I've been told is required to open a bank account. This isn't a TM30 I've been told....🙏🏼

Hi, I am needing advice and guidance please.

My daughter is S.A and has been residing and working in Thailand for 2 years.

She is wanting me to go and reside with her. She will be supporting me.

She has been advised that I can apply for a Non Immigrant 0 visa.

1. What documents is required and do I need a Thai Visa.

2. How long is the process

Many thanks

Hi - and apologies in advance, if this has been asked before:

Has anyone here been able to obtain either a DTV or LTR (non-retirement) as a sole trader and investor?

If so, could you DM with the details of the legal practice used (if any)

Many thanks in advance,

Steph

Hello, what’s the longest I can stay/visit Thailand in the course of a calendar year? I’ve been twice in 2025 for nearly 6 weeks so far but returning in October for 5 weeks in a row.

Will this be an issue for me?

TIA for any guidance.

Hello,

My husband and are are planning a move to Thailand. We plan on spending 5-6 months in a row in the country each year.

We are US citizens

We make 2,000 a month (social security)

We have 210K USD in savings

My husband is 69 years old

I am 39 yrs old.

We currently live in France.

We are planning on purchasing a rental property that will increase our income to 4,000 USD per month.

Can we get a DTV as retired people?

My apologies in advance if this question has already been asked… With a retirement, non-immigration O visa, is international health insurance required? I’m getting conflicting information From what I’m reading online and what I’m hearing from an immigration consultant. Online it says that I have to have it, but my consultant tells me no.
