Is it possible to find condos for renting periods of 1 to 3 months with DTC Visa? Outside of Airbnb of course, I mean with decent local prices

The websites I find for renting require 1 year rent always. I expect some private groups on facebook for example where it would be easier to find but I do not know any

Hey everyone. I was approved for dtv workaction after 4 days in Hanoi. My wife then took an extra 4 days to get dtv as a spouse. Just a heads up, the payment portal hasn't been working the best and you might need to contact the embassy. This has been a common problem for a month apparently. Also, when we entered Chiang Mai, all of the people with a dtv were told to step to the side. It was like they had no idea what the visa was and they don't have the technology for the qr code so you have to fill out a manual form and they question you a lot. Has anyone had this experience?

What are the eligible soft power cooking shools in Chiang Mai that help you with DTV?

Please list them below: thank you!

I am trying to open a Thai bank account with a DTV visa, what is the friendliest bank office in Chiang Mai to attempt that? I already know it is becoming difficult

Thank you.

Hi, my wife and I are planning to move to Chiang Mai in January 2026. I am 52 and am going to apply for Non OA visa here in the UK. My wife however is 45 (she is also a UK citizen) and doesn’t qualify for a retirement visa. Am I right in thinking she would apply for a non O visa as a dependant here in the UK, the travel with me to Thailand and apply for an extension of the O at immigration in Thailand during her 90 day stay. Am I missing something obvious? We have all the financial means so that’s not an issue. Any advice would be welcome.

Hello!

Do you know any bank in Chiang Mai DTV visa holder can open the bank account?

Here's our story of approval DTV visa.

Hello all,

I just wanted to confirm please 🙏🏾

For a person with a US passport if they arrive in Thailand by air (June 03) they get 30 days for that entry and can extend for an additional 30 days at an immigration office (we are in Chiang Mai)

When the 30 day extension expires they will need to leave Thailand for a border run is that still correct?

Also any suggestions for border runs would also be appreciated I have not done one in a long time so I am not sure what her options are 🙏🏾

Thank you in advance 🙏🏾

I know certificate of residency has been discussed here before. However, I would like to start a thread of people's recent reports of acquiring one. I tried in Jan 2025 at Nakhon Pathom Immigration and was told no certificates for DTV holders.

For people who received one recently, please share which office you applied, what documents were needed, and a summery of the overall process.

Thanks in advance.
