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.

Hey DTV experts, I am 40 years old Indian male. Working in Bangkok in a tech job for past 6 years on Non-B visa. My crypto and stock investments did well in past few years. With that, and sufficient savings I am thinking to get retired in next few months.

So, my question is whether I can show my investment returns as regular income for DTV? I am also considering Elite visa but to me it appears complete waste of money.

Would appreciate any insights or advice from those who have navigated similar situations. TIA!

Just thinking ahead.. So if I purchase a Platinum visa card with an aditional family member we are looking at around 2.5mil thb. The question here is.. Do we need to re-apply after 10 years and pay the same fees? Many thanks

Is it possible to get a Thai residence certificate less than 90 days after re-entry? I'm on a 5 year Elite visa. I've been here for a year, and already done a few 90 day reports, but I've recently re-entered. I need a residence certificate so I can renew my Thai driver's license, and everything I'm reading says I need a 90 day report after my most recent entry in order to get a residence certificate. It seems a bit silly that I have to wait 90 days to be able to renew my drivers license just because I recently left the country and came back. Is there any way around the 90 day report requirement for getting a residence certificate to renew my drivers license? I'm on Koh Phangan.
