Hey! I have a question about the DTV visa on medical grounds. Does it have to be a necessary procedure, or can it be a package like a full health screening?
Has anyone got approved through things like allergy testing or a full health screening?
Yesterday I went to our local immigration office to obtain a re-entry permit. I have a couple of trips planned so I asked him if I require to do a new digital TM6 as I return on the 2nd May. Basically my logic says no as I've been issued a permit. The IO was unable to answer the question.
If you do the softpower way lets say with muay thai, will they ask you for new course purchase once you fly back to thailand to get new stamp once your first 6 months are expired? How about the extension way at immigration?
I am planning to stay 6 months per year in thailand and fly back 6 months later
Just a quick question please - does the 6 months per year stay in Thailand start at the beginning of each year, ie January through December or is it in a any 12 months period ie from April through March?. Thank you in advance.
🏦 Bank Update: Just saw this when I walked into Krungsri to have them activate my mobile banking app on my new phone. As of February 9, 2024, they no longer open accounts for these types of visas:
1. Tourist
2. Free Visa
3. DTV
4. ED (except 4 years at a University and International School).
I'm so lucky my landlord helped me open an account years ago. 🙏💳📃
I am not too sure what is the requirement for the Muay Thai Visa. Do I have to actually go train or just pay for the class is enough ? How long of a period do I have to train and will they ask me mutliple time to provide proof of training ? Thank you
Well, it’s been a bit of a journey, but today I got my Long Term Residency permit from the Kingdom of Thailand. I still need to do annual reporting (unless I leave the country), and I will have to go in when my passport expires in a couple of years, but basically other than housekeeping, I have 10 years of not having to deal with the immigration department. Have to say, that makes all the paperwork and effort worth it 😎
