Any schools offer programs for less than 15k baht that would qualify for the DTV Visa??

I’m aware of the Pros, but what are some on the Cons people have experienced with the DTV?

Hope this can fit under "everything else". Seeking advice for selling via installments. I have posted my motorbike for selling on the marketplace, and today somebody approached me and asked if I accepted payment via installments. 4000 baht upfront, and the rest via weekly payments. Would you recommend this or he can just take the bike and disappear? Thanks!

Hi members.

Does Girlfriend need to do anything thing...

When is best time to do 30 day extension..

Hello guys,

In 2026 I will surely apply for the DTV VISA but for the year 2025 I only plan to stay 6 months in Thailand.

How do you manage to rent for 6 months?

I have the impression that it's an obstacle course. 99% of landlords only want a minimum one-year contract.

For those of you who have been able to rent for 6 months, how did you manage?

My agent have recommended that I rent for 1 year, but he'd find me a renter at the end of the 6 months.

Do you have any advice?

Thanks in advance

I have a valid residence permit sticker of another country, but my DTV was issued in another country (which is not my home country). Messy, I know. Could this raise issues?

Approved today from Hanoi! Super thankful for this group.

I’ve been staying in Thailand off and on for years as a nomad, but finally decided at the last minute to apply for the DTV while I'm in Vietnam now. I was not planning on doing this until last week.

Applied as a freelancer. I am a 1099 independent contractor for one company in the US.

Arrived in Hanoi Nov. 15.

Sat, Nov. 23: Submitted documents and paid

- Passport, recent visa photo I took on my phone and edited

- Cover letter with links to my business FB page

Contract

- Letter from boss confirming remote work approval. I made this in Google docs with a letterhead. She approved and inserted an image of her signature and saved as a PDF.

- 6 months of bank statements

- Vietnam visa letter, visa stamp in passport, receipt for booking accommodation

Nov. 26: Request for additional document - current bank account balance. I submitted 6 months of previous official statements, but did not submit a screenshot of my current balance originally.

Nov. 26: Pending approval

Nov. 29: Approved!!

I was really nervous to do something wrong and lose the application fee, but it was pretty straight forward.

Ladies and gentlemen, just arrived in Bangkok. Begun work on the visa extension with ThaiVisaCentre. Now, for a place to live full time. Seeking a condo. Can anyone recommend a good, reliable property agent to work with?

Real question: What's the point applying for DTV if we (may) have to show proof of ongoing soft power every time we ask for extension?

DTV application 10k

6 month Muay Thai registration is 20 k

So far 40k a year plus 10k once.

Did i miss anything?

Hello everyone! I'm brand new to this group and in the early stages of looking into relocating to Thailand!

I'm looking to relocate with my mother and myself. She's of retirement age, so any information regarding visa options for retirees would be so super helpful.

I currently work virtually as a nutritionist and am looking into starting my own business.

Thanks in advance for your help!
