I am aiming to go to Vientiane next week to apply for the DTV. Their site for booking appointments doesn't seem to let you book anything (thaivisavientiane.com); I hope this doesn't mean that the slots are all booked until the end of the year. Would be good to know if anyone else has any insight.

Quick question, and please forgive me if this has been asked and answered already, but I didn't find much (or rather too much to sift through) on this websites search function.

Is it easier to apply for and receive a retirement visa in your home country or after arriving in Thailand ? I'm about a two hour drive from the Thai embassy in Los Angeles.

Thanks for your input.

On the one hand agents say border runs by land are unlimited since July 2024, on the other hand almost everyone else says border runs by plane are unlimited. Does anyone know the truth?

Is there any age limit for DTV visa? My friend is in his late fifties, works remotely and fits the criteria, but is afraid to apply for DTV thinking its only for young people

Hey team, I'd like to apply for DTV now via e-visa in my home country of Australia, go on a 3 week international trip I have scheduled with the current passport in December, then return from that trip and apply for a new passport around January 2nd, then travel to Thailand in mid-February. All flights are already booked, and I can’t miss the 3-week trip in December.

Will entering Thailand on a new passport while the DTV is associated with the old passport cause an issue? I’ve previously had a Thai visa on an old passport, so I just traveled with both passports while that visa was valid. Would it be the same with the DTV even though there won’t be a physical visa in my passport?

TLDR: My passport expires in mid-June 2025 and I’d strongly prefer to apply for my DTV BEFORE I receive a new passport, so I don’t have to cancel my flight and lose money. I assume the DTV will carry over to my new passport once I get it, but can anyone confirm?

Has anyone successfully done a DTV extension yet in Thailand, what was the process and cost, is it 1900thb or 10,000thb again for another 6 months

I have a Non O immigration extension (1 year) that expires Jan 21. I was thinking of just getting the DTV as I may not be able to renew the O visa as I did not have the 800k in my bank account for the first few months and hear you need to show 12 months of statements.

Can I apply for the DTV in the USA while still on my current O?

Anyone do this?

I may arrive back to Thailand before but maybe after Jan 21...
