Hi guy's.

I'm 46, unemployed as I don't need to work anymore.

I want to apply for the DTV visa.

I have a Thai bank account with the 500k.

I have the letter from the Muay Thai school for 1 yr that I attend every day.

I have a 1 yr rental contract for my apartment.

I've seen from lots of different people's post's that they asK for proof of employment etc.

I obviously can't provide that as I'm retired.

Has anyone else applied in my situation?

Thank you for any feedback.

Hey awesome people. Got my DTV thanks to this group. Just looking for confirmation that I got my head screwed on properly about some things.

1) 1st day of me landing in Thailand - that's Day 01 of 180, correct?

2) Whenever I reside in a new place, TM30 must be reported by the landlord, correct?

3) Day 90, I must report 90-day reporting - first time must be in-person, correct?

4) If I leave before Day 180, the second Day 90 reporting is NOT required, correct?

5) When I return, my 180 days will be reset... then my next Day 90 reporting must be in-person again, correct?

Thanks everyone!

Hello community 👋, I’m currently living in Bangkok as an expat with a family visa. I would love to start a small business and open an online shop—just like I used to do in my home country. Does anyone here have experience with this or know how the process works in Thailand? Many thanks in advance! 🫶✨

Its time to start the process for retirement. How much can i do from Australia before heading over. As in visa!

For Americans, you got 6 months in Europe and got 2 months in Thailand without a visa, that doesn’t mean Thailand is less friendly to you than Europe, mostly because Thailand wants to generate more revenues from tourism by forcing you extending your visa or jumping back and forth, cutting the staying from 2 months to 30 days also aiming the same, generating more revenues, but this will bring more inconvenient for travelers and may affect their plans.

Is the Dtv soft visa the same 5 years benefit like the regular dtv visa ? For the dtv soft visa. Do you have to do a activity for all 5 years ? Would having a lot of money in a american bank and getting sponsored by a thai company be enough? Or do you have to also have tax returns and proof of income from america??

Is the soft visa the same 5 years as the remote dtv visa ? Do you have to take a thai activity all 5 years ? Is lot of money in a american bank and a thai activity sponsor enought to get the soft visa ? Or you need to also show american tax returns and proof of american income to get the visa ??

When banks ask me about a work permit can saying you’re self employed and don’t sell your product in TH help you? Bc thats 100% true for me.

Hi all. I just got an email saying, "Your visa application has been cancelled." No other explanation was provided. I had applied for the DTV through a legal firm in Thailand - they said they will check with the embassy and find out the reason.

Is it normal to receive a cancellation email without any explanation?

Hello to everyone,

Hope this is the right platform to ask & seek advice for my question

In the process of completing my Visa application for Non-O, 12 month stay with multi entry.

UK born, though lived in Australia all but 6 months of my life. Seeking feedback as to insurance policies held by fellow members which comply with Visa / application requirements.

I am trying to understand how Thai policies work & decide which is best for me. I have top private health cover in Australia (covers private/public hospitals, ambulance, medical visits, medication, dental, optical, injury rehab etc)

Those here from Australia who know Medibank Private Health that’s who I am with, so looking for similar cover

Any recommendations of Insurance companies to speak to is greatly appreciated

Thankyou in advance for any responses

Keep smiling and have a wonderful day 🙏
