If you apply for a DTV (in this case at the London embassy) whilst in the UK, do you need to remain in the country until the application is approved? It would be great to apply while home for Christmas but I’m worried about the processing time as I may only be home for a week.

Hi everyone, hubby and I are looking to relocate to Koh Samui next year and plan on applying for the new DTV. We will be using the soft power option, me cooking, hubby Muay Thai. Does anyone know of any gyms and cooking schools located on Koh Samui that would be suitable for us to obtain this visa, or give me an idea of what to search for? Thanks so much for any help and info you can give, much appreciated 🙏

Hello.

Does DTV have to be applied via Thai embassy in your local country, or any country that a person might physically be? And in case of online application, through which embassy will that go to?

For example, for remote worker DTV, when passport is from north Europen country, while employment and residency is in south European country, while physically being in an Asian country. Can I apply when being in Vietnam for example, via the online application method?

Thanks.

Thank you for this excellent platform for discussion on Thai visas and all things Thai. I have a lot of questions as we plan our move to Bangkok (probably) next year. Here's my first one. I have both American and UK passports, which would be the better one to use for a retirement visa application in Thailand?

Hey everyone! I'm currently looking to relocate to Chiang mai come mid to end of April and would like to get the 12 month education visa process started as soon as possible.

For those who have done an education Visa, is it possible to start the process while still in America or would I have to fly there first on a tourist visa and then get the process started? Any tips/tricks would help tremendously. Thank you in advance!
