Hello everyone! I'm brand new to this group and in the early stages of looking into relocating to Thailand!

I'm looking to relocate with my mother and myself. She's of retirement age, so any information regarding visa options for retirees would be so super helpful.

I currently work virtually as a nutritionist and am looking into starting my own business.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Anyone able to open true money wallet on dtv ?

Did my 90-Day Report today and asked for the requirements for extending the DTV. Got told that they want to see all documents/proof again that i used for my visa application. In english or thai language. So i would require a translation. The most important thing is the financial proof they said, which obviously has to be a current bank overview / statement / whatever… Talked a little with 3 officers and they recommended just doing a border run and get a fresh 180 day. This was done in Krabi where immigration is usualy very easy. (DTV was applied and granted via eVisa / germany. workcation category.)

Just did my 90 day report on the DTV visa in Phuket, pretty straight forward, in and out after 20min, no cost involved for the reporting.

Documents:

Signed copy of Passport info page

Signed copy Passport last arrival stamp

DTV E-Visa printed (or visa label in passport if you have)

TM30, TM47

Hi! I’m a Europe-based webshop owner who produces jewelry in Thailand and sells mainly to European customers. I’d like to connect with other e-commerce business owners—doesn’t have to be jewelry—who are applying for the DTV. I’d love to hear if anyone running an online store has successfully applied.

Thanks so much in advance!😊

p.s. I've been in Thailand for two years on an education visa, and I’m currently on a tourist visa

DO you have to have 800,000 in a Thai bank account plus the income stream or is it, you have one or the other?

Dear Community!

This question may has been asked and answered before but I still dare to ask again.

Usually one is not allowed to stay longer in Thailand than 180 days per calendar year. I wonder if there are any exceptions and if it really depends on the officers at the immigration.

Since I arrived on Sept. 19th, my tourist visa expires on Nov. 17th and I could usually extend for 1 more month. But this would mean, I'd stay here longer than 180 days (and could be rejected?), since Sept. 19th was not the first time I arrived in Thailand this year.

Can anyone who's been staying in Thailand for a while speak out of experience?

Just want to say: thanks to the group & all who contribute to this. It’s all we want - to have a better life in a wonderful country.

My application has been APPROVED at the twelfth hour!! Whoop whoop! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Hello, Do I personally need to transfer in and hold 500k+ baht in my bank for an amount of time before starting to apply for a DTV?

I'm a freelance programmer from UK and I have a client in AUS who pays weekly and lots of on spec jobs and is happy to provide docs to be my sponsor.

I would be prefer to be applying from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, but can happily visit Laos, Vietnam, or whatever is recommended.

Thanks

I suppose the first applicants for the DTV passed the 180 days point by now.

So, share details about the extension phase for the next 180 days please.
