I haven’t had an O visa for a long time as my stays have only been 1 month at a time.

Can I still get one as my 2 kids are there and they are 20 and 23yr old. I’ve not been able to see my son as he’s been doing 2 years national service in the Thai army and just got out. Someone said I needed 400k but I never needed that before!

Just want to say: thanks to the group & all who contribute to this. It’s all we want - to have a better life in a wonderful country.

My application has been APPROVED at the twelfth hour!! Whoop whoop! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Hello, Do I personally need to transfer in and hold 500k+ baht in my bank for an amount of time before starting to apply for a DTV?

I'm a freelance programmer from UK and I have a client in AUS who pays weekly and lots of on spec jobs and is happy to provide docs to be my sponsor.

I would be prefer to be applying from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, but can happily visit Laos, Vietnam, or whatever is recommended.

Thanks

I suppose the first applicants for the DTV passed the 180 days point by now.

So, share details about the extension phase for the next 180 days please.

Hi everyone. I am a British citizen currently in Thailand but I will be going to Malaysia to apply for my Thai non-B visa to work in an English language school. For the online application it seems I need some sort of proof of 'residency' in Malaysia. What can I use for this? My visa upon entry stamp? I also need proof of finances, should my adress on my bank statment be in Malaysia or is it ok for it to be in the UK? Thanks so much for any help/guidance.

As it is the modern times of 2024, why is the visa application process still 100 years in the past? I do not want to fix my itinerary before I travel, I am a free spirit who likes to learn by doing and my plans may change, so why would I even go to a country that expects me to book everything rigidly in advance? Malaysia seems a lot more civilised and business minded to me.

Hello!

For Muay Thai DTV.

Do you need to prove every 6 months that you are still exercising or this is one time application valid for 5 years?
