Hi, I left my job in Bangkok and have moved to the south of Thailand.

My work permit has been cancelled and I’ve just received the cancellation paperwork from my boss, which I was told that I needed.

Do I need to return to changwhattana and get them to add the cancellation stamp to my passport or can I just go to the closest land boarder, exit and enter?

I’ll be going back to a Non-O marriage visa.

Many thanks 🙏🏼

Hopefully this helps!

Thanks Tod and Ellie for there help over the years.

My wife and I (both UK) got to Div 1 this morning at 9 am. No appointment.

But out at 10:30 all done with another year’s visas in hand. AMAZING!

First 90 day report coming up, since getting my 12m extension. I'm yold i must attend on 1st then i can request and set up future 90DR online.

Can someone please list all docs/copies they will ask for on my visit, its a long way to call in just to get a list from them.

I might request a resident's certificate at same time, to apply for licences. So a list for this would also be handy, own my condo but no yellow book yet just docs and empty blue book.

Sorry if this been asked b4

Hello Group,

I would like to get a retirement visa. I was hoping that I could deposit the required 800,000 baht into my BB and come to Chiang Mai 3 months later on 60 day standard stay for UK passports. My question is would 60 days be sufficient time to get a retirement visa and am I likely to run into any problems, and what information/documents would I need to bring with me - appreciate any guidance thanks.

Hello group!

Just got my visa approved 2days ago. I applied via soft power at the general consulate in Munich/Germany (as I’m a German passport holder). The whole process just took 7 working days, no further documents requested, no questions asked. Happy days!

Thanks goes to the employees of the consulate and all the people in this group for their helpful hints and tips! It seems to be an easy application if you meet the criteria and do your homework. I followed this group for a few months before I sent my documents and checked the embassy website for the requirements.

Just one open question is left: At one website there was stated that there’s no 90day report needed for soft power DTV holders. Is there a difference between workation and soft power regarding the 90 day report? I have no problem with doing the report, but if it’s not necessary, I have one more day for my training course.

So when i came back into Thailand with my DTV i registered my name as a guest of my Gf house online in the TM30 system. When i added my details i got the approved notification, however im just doing a search now and its not coming up with any data at all.

Any idea why and if this hasn't registered me properly then what will happen. NO idea what's happened as when i did this it gave me an approved add notification

Approved!

I applied in Jakarta Embassy

DTV Type: Workcation

Passport: USA

8/17: Application Submitted

8/20: Pending Approval

8/21: Approved

No additional documents were requested.

What I submitted:

* A letter from the employer stating that I work for them and that I'm allowed to work remotely/from Thailand

* 6 months bank statements (> 500k THB each month)

* Tax returns from 2023 and 2024

* Evidence of current location (boarding pass, entry stamp, stay permit from Indonesian immigration, GPS screenshot of my location)

* My CV and portfolio

Thank you everyone for making this group a great resource.

90 day report - When leaving Thailand (with a re-entry stamp) I was told that you don’t report again until 90 days after your return date. Is this true?

Hi, has anyone succeeded to open a bank account in Bangkok with DTV visa?
