What are the major Pro and Cons of DTV visa? I had understood that it is maximum for 5 yrs. and that you dont actually get 180 each time you exit and return.. can someone lay it out simply... thanks ( I am not looking at the money in the bank - I knw about that and it is not an issue in mny case) just if it can be applied from within thailand and its pro and cons

thankyou

File it under everything else, BOSS:

So I’ve been in BKK for the last couple of days. The weather has been Splendid. The Chang beer has been cold and flowing like the mighty Chao Phraya river and the Issan ladies as lovely as ever.

BKK has well dressed for Christmas. And George Michael’s iconic song ‘ Last Christmas’ has been blasting the airwaves.

My ponder is if Last Christmas song is really about Christmas or is more a love song. George could have sang Last Kwanzaa. or Last Ramadan and the song would have been as good as ever!

Any thoughts, comments?

Anyone know what muay thai gyms in bangkok have this visa available? Thanks in advance

Hello.

I own and run a portfolio of 9 UK rental properties remotely from Thailand and Cambodia. I have retirement visas in both and own a property in Thailand - usually need to fly back to the UK several times a year - and would like to change from retirement visa to DTV

On reading other people's experiences here, I've just opened a Ltd company with me as director.

Advice please on how to write the letter to myself saying I can operate this remotely.

Also, should I mention the property in Thailand/submit the yellow book?

Reason for wanting to change to DTV is that it isn't easy to have one's (in my case Cambodian) spouse accompany one on a retirement visa anymore (this is confirmed by Thai embassy, Cambodia). We will be applying in Cambodia.

Many thanks for your input.

TM30 question.

Living in Bangkok, heading to Phetchabun for New Year, stay in a motel. (TM30 completer by motel operator)

When returning to Bangkok, does my wife have to complete a TM30 when we return home?

She is telling me that I don't have to.

I got DTV a month ago. Thank you to the group because it was very helpful ! 🫡

🇵🇱I currently live in Bangkok, if there are any Poles here who would like to meet and sightsee together / go for a beer, please contact me priv. :)

I'm a remote worker who primarily uses the Zoom app for call-related work. I'm considering relocating to Bangkok, and I'm wondering if this is even possible. Does anyone have any firsthand knowledge or experience with this possibility?

I’m trying to figure out the best way to retire and live in Thailand 6 months and US 6 months. If I get a retirement visa, can I avoid the deposit 800,000 baht deposit without depositing my SSA check directly in a Thai bank? Suggestions?

Hey everyone,

I'm planning on getting my DTV Visa in Taiwan next week, early December 2024, and I've been reviewing all the posts from people who got it successfully from this group.

I have my own business and have been working online full-time since 2013.

I'm finalizing all the documents that I will bring with me and here's what I have so far:

- Taiwan sim to provide a number

- Receipt of my Airbnb

- Valid passport (Mine's good until June 2026)

- Photocopy of my passport

- Stripe account from January 2024 to highlight client payments

- Business account with over 500k THB showing cashflow from January 2024 and highlighting the amount that came from Stripe

- Investment account with over 500k THB with my name showing

- Completed visa application form from their website

- 2 x Recent color photo with white background 3.5 x 4.5cm

- Cover letter summarizing what I do for work

- Letter of Employment (written by myself in my company name and signed by me)

- Employment Agreement saying that I've been working for my company since 2013 and I do it all online

- Documents of my company formation in Canada, my name is showing as well

- Contract with clients in 2024

- Invoices I have sent to clients over the past few months

- Print out of my website, YouTube channel, Instagram, and podcast and me conducting Zoom calls with students

- 11k TWD in cash for the fee

Did I miss anything?

Never been to Taipei so just making sure.

Thanks to everyone who shared their experience getting their DTV in Taiwan. It's been so helpful putting everything together.
