So just to be clear. You get one 180 day extension in a five year period. So once you use that single extension you cannot get another for the visit if the visa and have to leave within 180 days. Then secondly for the 90 day reporting you only need to do that if you are staying past 90 days . So if you leave the country at 89 days you would be exempt from the reporting ? And then every time you enter it’s automatically 180 consecutive days again you can stay?

So I’m thinking of going to Vientiane in Laos to apply for the workcation visa in a few months time. Has anyone had any experience applying there?

Anyone here applied at the Paris Thai embassy and can share details of their experience?

Need to replace Thai marriage certificate due to water damage. Can I do it at any Amphur in bkk or only where it was issued (Laksi) ?

Any idea what I need to bring?

Eg passport,housebook,wife,etc.?

Hello currently on ed visa about to get my 4th and final stamp that will take me to april 13. I need to leave the country in feb and usually would get a rentry permit. The thing is I'd really like to get a 5 year dtv visa as I have foreign income and enough in the bank. If I leave in feb with a rentry permit can I try to apply for the dtv while I'm in my home country or will they deny because I still have an ed visa. And would it make any difference approval wise if I have a rentry permit or not. I'm worried I get denied and then dont have a rentry permit.

Hi, from new zealand. We arrive in hua hin in may . We arrive on a 60 days,then apply for 30 days then a retirement visa. We will be going thru a agent , when they apply for our visas and open our bank accounts.do you pay any bank money directly to the agent, if not do you then go and deposit 800k yourself or can you dep 65k a month which is our preferred option . Thankyou

So a friend mentioned that I have to check in every 90 days with a DTV visa. I hadn’t heard that before but confirmed it is true. But if I leave the country before 90 days and come back it starts over correct? It’s only if I am here consecutively for 90 days and am remaining in country that I need to do this check in?

Not if I am back home n my original date of entry’s 90 day I don’t need to go to immigration. Correct?

After some advice 🙂

My passport needs to be renewed in a few months time, is it best to renew it early then apply or will the visa details be transferred?

Also I own a couple of ltd companies, what proof will I be asked for to say I can manage them remotely and still have an income.

TIA

DTV approved today.

Submitted: 22/12

Added documents: 24/12

Do I have to enter within 3 months to validate it?

What is my best option?

Hello everyone,

Thank you all for the great information and help, you are sharing in here. I have been looking into my options and I would kindly ask for your best advice, since I'm unsure what would be the best option for me.

1) 💰 Bank statement requirement:

I have more than 500.000 Thai bath on my account, but I have it, in my *company bank account *😏

Could one “change” the bank statement pdf, and put ones name on it, instead of my business name? 🤫

Or would it be a better option, to transfer the money to my personal account - and then transfer it back after approval? - problem here will be, that then I can't show a 3-6 months bank statement...

If I transfer the money, I would probably need to apply from a country, that only requires current bank statement, and not the last 3-6 months... I was looking into Myanmar, but it seems like it gets to complicated to go there.

2) 👩🏼‍💻 Soft power or digital nomad option:

a - It seems like the soft power, is a lot easier and have a better succes-rate. Is this your experience?

b - My former visa agent (used for ED visa), charges 65.000 bath (all incl) for the soft power option. I find this to be too much, especially since I don't intend to do the training and the fee is lost, if the visa does not goes through...

c - Could *yoga* be an option instead of Muay Thai (I know a yoga place, that offers this, just not sure if it's just as 'safe').

I managed to get myself so confused by now, that I'm considering to just do a second round of ED visa 🙃

All your help is much appreciated, thank you all in advance ☺️🙏🏼
