The embassy is asking me for documents about my client for the DTV workcation (I freelance for them). As I don’t think I’ll get the documents, I’m wondering if I can switch the application to soft power as I’m planing to study thai anyway.

Have anyone ever been in that situation (switching the scope of a DTV application) ?

Hey all!

I’m planning on moving to Thailand permanently from the US in 2-3 months and starting to think about which visa is the best to get.

I’ve been thinking about the Education Visa. Has anybody here done that? I heard it’s possible they might not let me extend it to a different visa after that year is up. True/false?

DTV visa - pros/cons?

Retirement visa - I am not pulling social security yet so I don’t have passive income. Is this still even an option? (I’m 50 years old.)

Tourist visa runs every 60/90 days. Is this really sustainable over years?

Thank you so much for any insight!

Is there a visa for learning Real Thai Massage Course (Legit school) Any feedback from those knows.

Do I need to cancel a three month education visa (first one - no extensions) before I leave the country? Or does it naturally expire. I plan on having another ED visa in the future so don’t want any issues

I keep finding conflicting information online

Thanks for any help ☺️

Possibly a foolishness question, but why does no one seem to use the Thai language visa?

Hey guys 😎

If you leave Thailand without canceling your education visa in Phuket (1st year) & return on Tourist visa.

Will you have any problem getting your 2nd education visa in Hua Hin?

I believed by exiting Thailand, the current visa cancels but then I heard it doesn't unless you cancel it so just looking for clarification.

Thank you 🙏

Hello everyone, soon i will go to immigration with all university documents to change my tourist visa to education so i wanted to know that if i have Tm30 of a hostel of 1 or 2 months booking duration will it work for immigration or they will require a apartment tm30 and secondly will they demand anything else also like rental contract or owners id or something like that?

I'm interested in getting a DTV. I've been in Chiang Mai for a few months and I will be leaving in a couple of days, back to the USA. I want to return to Thailand in September and study Thai language and other areas of "Soft Power". I have the required amount of money in my American bank. Are there steps I should take in the next few days? Must I enroll in a Language class (I haven't decided which one)? I study Muay Thai now and will continue but that facility doesn't qualify yet for DTV. What advice can you give? Thanks.

Hi everyone,

My family and I (my wife and our two kids) are planning to move to Thailand for an undetermined period, in about two years. I just wanted to run my plan by you and get some feedback to see if it makes sense.

I own a company back home in Canada, which provides me with a regular salary. I'm considering applying for the DTV visa — would this be a suitable option in my case? Also, would my family be able to join me under this visa? If needed, I could also put my wife on the company payroll.

Lastly, would our kids be able to attend school while we're in Thailand?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Hey all. I am a noob (newbie) to this group. My daughters are coming to Thailand in 2 weeks. Both are in their early 20s. One is coming to teach and the other has applied to a university in Thailand and is waiting to hear back.

If she gets in, school won’t start until July or August so… I guess she would first have to do a tourist visa and then ask the school to start the process for the education visa so that she doesn’t have to leave the country? This is all so new and happening so fast.

My husband and I will be down there in July and he is doing a retirement visa but I was going to do a DTV visa. I wasnt sure if I can work if coming under his retirement visa. Which would be better to do?
