Hi everyone! I’m on a Non O (married to Thai) visa with the annual extension ending in June. Unfortunately I’m going through a divorce (common farang/thai situation 😒) and will change to the DTV next month.

QUESTION please: Do I need to cancel my Non O visa before leaving the Thailand to apply for the DTV? Or are there any other steps I need to do please?

I was hoping to have the DTV visa lined up before the divorce is final since I have made Thailand my home and plan to return.

Thanks in advance for all your help! 🙏

Hi, has anyone applied for DTV in Laos during these days and got approved? Is there an interview? May I know the process and what do they ask during the interview? I'm planning to next week for the visa run and some said Laos is difficult to apply without the agent. Thank you in advance.

Hey! Has anybody here already tried to apply for the dtv for the category „sports“? I wonder if diving would be an option 🤔

Hi All, do you any experience or suggestions about the impact of application of work visa ( one year) in another country while I am holding a DRV visa in Thailand? I am afraid it will impact on validity of my DTV visa in Thailand. Thanks, guys!

Are those who get the DTV as a dependent allowed to work remotely just like the person who got a DTV for a workation and does the person who already got their DTV have to prove they can financially support the dependent?

Applied online from Australia well over a 12 days ago.

Keep getting questions about providing my portfolio. I finally got frustrated and called the Thai embassy for answers. They stated that my business " didnt look legitimate", even thought its been operating for 4 years. They want a detailed breakdown of work I do as well as invoices to clients.

My website is fine... I dont understand what is going on here.

Anyone else had this sort of issue?

Edit - after submitting the documents they ask for, I received email that you DTv Reject.

Hi all, I would like to stay in Thailand for seven months. Normally I would just do 2 visa runs (🇧🇷 gets 90 days) but last year when arriving at BKK they told me next time I must get a proper visa rather than just use exemptions.

So I will get a Non-Imm-O/retirement. I’m 50+ and have 800 kilobaht in a Thai bank already. I have 2 questions:

1) My understanding is that I can’t just leave during my extension period, but must go to Immigration to have it canceled. What is the procedure and requirements for that?

2) Since I'm leaving early, do I need to show Immigration that I have correctly kept the 800k (3 months) / 400k (afterwards) in my account for the required post-extension period?

I do plan to come back to Thailand long term in the future so I don’t want any black marks. Thanks for any input!

I now hold 2 visas and a work permit. The visa I have been using is a business visa, the "owns 49% of the company" kind. The work permit is associated with that visa.

I now have a DTV and I intend to enter Thailand using the DTV.

I need to cancel the business visa and work permit. Is that something I can do myself? What is the procedure for that?
