ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS:

TDAC (THAILAND DIGITAL ARRIVAL CARD)

Starting May 1st anyone entering thailand is required to fill out the TDAC before the stamp in.

You can do it online with the website from 3 days before your arrival right down to your arrival here

IF you can't do it before you get here, there are kiosks set up before passport control to fill it out once you land

remember anyone arriving after 12:01am May 1st has to fill one out

here's the website

Also for people who live here

you CAN select thailand as your Country of Residence, then it will give the +66 for your thai number and you can select the province you live in

Why does Thailand make it so cumbersome and difficult for foreigners to move to Thailand?? I understand the need to vet people to some degree, but the process just seem very cumbersome and bureauacratic. The entire issue with establishing a bank account, etc.

What is the average wait time for approval on a non o retirement visa through Los Angeles thai consulate?

If my relationship with my Thai gf becomes more serious, and I want to marry and return with her to live in the UK, is it possible to get her residency?

Do we have to prove the relationship?

Any advice? Just in case this happens.

Has anyone renewed their U.S. passport while living in Thailand? How long did it take and how much was it. Thanks in advance 🙏👍

For those with Retirement Visas,

How many pages does it take up?

I have my 1st Retirement Visa and it takes up a ungodly amount of pages... if this happens every year i am screwed because my passport does not have that many pages.

Hi guy's.

I'm 46, unemployed as I don't need to work anymore.

I want to apply for the DTV visa.

I have a Thai bank account with the 500k.

I have the letter from the Muay Thai school for 1 yr that I attend every day.

I have a 1 yr rental contract for my apartment.

I've seen from lots of different people's post's that they asK for proof of employment etc.

I obviously can't provide that as I'm retired.

Has anyone else applied in my situation?

Thank you for any feedback.

Hey awesome people. Got my DTV thanks to this group. Just looking for confirmation that I got my head screwed on properly about some things.

1) 1st day of me landing in Thailand - that's Day 01 of 180, correct?

2) Whenever I reside in a new place, TM30 must be reported by the landlord, correct?

3) Day 90, I must report 90-day reporting - first time must be in-person, correct?

4) If I leave before Day 180, the second Day 90 reporting is NOT required, correct?

5) When I return, my 180 days will be reset... then my next Day 90 reporting must be in-person again, correct?

Thanks everyone!

Quick question, wondering if my 90 day report due date reset when I got my O visa extension just a few weeks ago?

Hello community 👋, I’m currently living in Bangkok as an expat with a family visa. I would love to start a small business and open an online shop—just like I used to do in my home country. Does anyone here have experience with this or know how the process works in Thailand? Many thanks in advance! 🫶✨
