Looks like WISE dropped the category for "Funds for long term stay in Thailand " or words to that effect. Just did a transfer and didn't have that as a reason. Everyone I have done so far this year had that as a reason. I believe though that isn't really necessary for a renewal on a marriage extension of stay.

So i think the METV visa fits my situation to live in Thailand until i can meet the DTV requirements. Is anyone else using that one?

I arrived in Thailand on NON O 90 day retirement visa yesterday. Today i went to AIS for phone and wifi service. They told me they don’t offer long term package including locally priced phone plans and wifi, Non O doesn’t qualify. I also need something else — like a Thailand Drivers Licence. Not even planning on getting a vehicle. Is there an easier way? I hv passport + Non O and will have lease shortly. How else can I do this?

I want to apply for DTV as l have a genuine work from anywhere job in Australia with an Australian employer and want to spend much more time in LOS. I go to Thailand to be with my Thai girlfriend and live in her home.

I have the required funds for the DTV in one bank account, but l do not transact from it as my pay goes to a different account.

Can any recent applicant advise as to whether in Oz they ask for proof of pay going into your account, or is the statement from my account with the required money parked in it all they need? I've got a letter from my employer, an employment contract from them stating I can work anywhere and have no problem with required money in the bank.

TIA

Do you need a TM30 to do the 90 day check-in? I've been staying at various hotels throughout the country.

Hey guys, I’m online trying to figure out how to fill out this M30 form. It keeps telling me data not found. I’ve lived here for 2 years now. Any suggestions or examples ?

If I rent a condo for a year.

1) I enter Thailand with my DTV multiples times over the year does my landlord have to submit a new TM30 every time I leave & come back ?

2) I travel around in Thailand and stay at various Hotel. They will submit a new TM30 at every stay does it invalidate the one my landlord made on my arrival ? Do I need to request a new one when my travel is done ?

Thanks for the help.

What happens after 6 months of DTV - soft power? Do i need to pay the school again (muay thai school for example) for another 6 months?

Im trying to get the e-DTV for getting braces and havent found any clinics that will help with the letter/documentation. I have the rest of the documentation ready. I have written to several in Bankok, 1 with dtv info on their website and was told to come in and see the Dr first. I cannot enter Bangkok without the Visa to see the Dr. and If I got a 60 tourist visa I cannot then apply for the dtv from inside Thailand. Im also in process of selling my house so I cant buy a plane ticket yet as those take 30-45 days to close for the tousit visa eligibility. I'm 1 year from the 50 year old retirement age. I want to sell my house, get on a plane soon, get braces, visit the eye doctor, have a minor surgery that i should have had done years ago. All bringing the money into Thailand as they are wanting to do. To do this, I pretty much need to the get the DTV and will then apply for a retirement next year or as soon as I need to. Ive read a bunch of posts and pretty much been watching videos and reading about it for a couple months. Any insights to the dental route? im too beat up to do Muy thai now, Hoping by being retired in Thailand that I will get back in shape and go for that later. Thanks

I had been living in Thailand for six and a half years I have had to return to Australia for medical treatment my retirement visa expires in February should I not be able to come back before then can I apply for a visa through an agent in Thailand?
