I have a question regarding work visas for Thailand please.

My husband and I are hoping to come and stay in Chiang mail for 6 months and we can both work online.

Just wondering which visa would be best for this situation and length of time. If he likes it there we may want to extend our time.

Thank you for any info

Hello everyone. Thanks for all the useful info on here.

How long should it take to get a DTV for me and then apply to get spouse and two children added as dependents?

I am thinking about Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia or US or UK, so appreciate broad range of experiences and expectations.

I am looking at either soft power or self-employment - I am exploring both options.

Many thanks

Is it fine to apply for soft power(muay thai) instead of marriage visa for a foreign husband? It is less paperwork and 5 y.

Hello everyone, does anyone know how I can live in Thailand legally for 1 year? I am Brazilian and I work remotely. I saw the possibility of a student visa, but in that case would I have to take classes in person? Is there any other way? Thank you in advance.

Hey guys, I was wondering what are the pros and cons of a dtv vs a marriage visa? We are planning to get married regardless so is it even worth a me going down the dtv route?

I have no doubt I will get a few but pls refrain from sarcastic comments 🤣🙏

Hello, does anyone have any insight as to what qualifies for the “soft power” visa? I am interested in Thai language courses as well as meditation retreats, would this be acceptable?

Hi all,

I am about to start a program of medical treatment in Thailand, which with follow ups and so on, will last approximately 1 year, with likely follow ups into subsequesnt years (it's a hip replacement - with complications).

Does anyone have any experience of applying for the DTV based on these criteria?

To add - I already live in Thailand, but i work rotations offshore outside Thailand, and am looking for a way to make my visa situation better than continual tourist visas.
