For someone who may want to switch from the expensive Elite Visa scheme to the DTV, and who already has a Thai bank account, are there any risks that the bank might close the account due to the visa status change? Any relevant experiences to share most appreciated.

Hello everyone,

I’m currently in Thailand and working remotely in the field of web development (website creation and digital services). My work is entirely online.

I’ve heard about the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) and I’m wondering if it would be a suitable option for someone in my situation, a remote worker.

Has anyone here applied for it recently? What are the pros and cons, and is it worth considering compared to other visa options?

Any advice or shared experience would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

My current (Elite) visa ends on June 2nd. I'm planning to leave to Vietnam that exact same day and start my DTV application from there. Just wanted a confirmation from the experts here that staying until that day (June 2) is not considered a one-day overstay. Thanks!

I’m planning to move to Bangkok in January. Is the Thai Privilege Card worth purchasing as a visa? Or would i be better off just doing the DTV and renewing after 5 years?

Hi I am 45 and just recently retired. I want to live in Thailand full time. Are my options for a visa to stay long term just an education visa where I learn Thai for a year?

Will I be able to renew this each year until I am 50?

Thanks

Greetings from moldy, damp, highly overrated Portugal! 🤣

Been doing a bunch of research and I’m struggling to figure out the right type of (long-stay) visa since we don’t fall neatly into any category.

Basically, I’m retired with a pension and some other passive income, but not yet 50 so the retirement visa isn’t an option. I don’t have a business, don’t plan to work for someone remotely, and ain’t about to put this beat up body through Muay Thai — so I don’t know if DTV is the right option either.

Any insights into what would work best for someone who just wants to live in Thailand until age-eligible for the retiement visa would be greatly appreciated! 🙏🏽

I’m looking to move to Thailand but unsure what Visa to go with. I’m 100% disabled and don’t work. So I’m unsure if I would qualify for DTV. I meet the other requirements. I could start freelancing but idk how long of a work history I need to show.
