Hello,

I got my non o visa based on marriage on the thai e-visa website via London UK.

I’m so very happy about this and also grateful from all the feedback I have had from you all to help me.

Thank you to you all.

My visa says it’s valid from July 13th to October 10th 2025.

And it’s got me thinking.

I planned to return on September 25th 2025 at the end of my season for several months.

However I thinking of a quick trip earlier as I’ve mentioned in my previous posts I work in the tourism industry which is very slow in the UK with sales down this year.

Hence I have no work from July 30th to August 17th 2025.

And I have already booked flights to return at the end of the season to enter Thailand on September 25th 2025 to stay for 6-7 months.

Can I do the following as I don’t want to wait in London without work for 17 days from July 31st to mid August & I’d rather be with my wife.

Fly to Thailand entering on July 31st 2025 for 2 weeks of August.

Apply for my visa extension in those first 2 weeks of August.

Then fly back to the UK to work with a reentry permit.

And return to Thailand entering on September 25th 2025 for my long stay.

When do I have to season the 400,000baht in a thai bank account?

(I already have an SCB bank account now)

Is it on the day I plan to I arrive back August 31st?

Or should it be before that in my case?

Also an extra question after I arrive back on September 25th 2025 can I use another re-entry permit to visit my mother who has been unwell in Australia in mid October as it is her and my birthday then?

Is any of this possible?

Thank you so much 🙏

Hi, I need help and suggestions for applying dtv for the first time from Spain. I only have 500k THB in my business account and I don’t have any movement in the past 6 months in my personal account at all and the amount is only 10€ that I have in my personal account.

I’m not sure if there’s any option to apply for this? Like using sponsor account? without having to wait for another 6 month to build my personal account.

Thanks :)

DTV approved in Hanoi 🇻🇳

Workcation (Korean)

Many people get approved in Hanoi, usually within 7-10 days or even faster. 🎉

FYI, for Koreans, DTV application fee is free. Please do it yourself and do not use an agency.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Hello Guys I am preparing my documents and I am confused about one thing.

Your money is in your current account or invest account?

Can my 500k THB be in my invests?

I have non o visa, going next month to extent and open bank ac. Question is how to prove that saving came from oversea. I have problem to transfer the amount in one month after opening ac. Can I bring cash when I enter. ? Thks

I have arrived in Hua Hin, I have my none O visa. What do I need to take to immigration to get a Residency certificate? I am getting conflicting information on what I need to take with me. It is for opening a bank account.

Update: 1st Entry on DTV

Today I entered with DTV for the first time through CNX airport. They said that because it's the first time using it I have to fill out a form and do a little interview.

The form was basically just personal information, Thailand address, port of embarkation and entry, why are you here, how much money do you have with you here in Thailand? They asked to see at least 20,000 baht in my account, which I showed them on my Thai bank account. There were 2 officers there who were very nice and simply asked what I do for work. I told them I teach online, mostly Chinese students and some Korean, and gave her my approximate monthly income. They didn't grill me further. Took me to the counter and got me stamped in.

Another Australian guy was getting grilled a little harder and longer. I think partly because he appeared nervous, and pretty much immediately said he couldn't show his bank account bc he didn't have data / wifi, to which the officer replied the airport has wifi. Also he was on soft power and seemed to have a lot of stamps. They kept talking in Thai about all the different dates in his passport. Not sure what happened with him since they kept him after I already left.

So, if you come through CNX the first time be prepared to do this. Just be nice and honest and try not to appear nervous even though it can be nerve racking being pulled aside.

I have recently posted a series of Reels/TikToks documenting our move to being retired in Hua Hin, which we now call home!! anyone in the group or other readers please feel free to DM me for details as I will not be so crass, (and also the admins might not like it,) if I just put up my account details. Only happy to help people out though!

I am the owner of an American LLC and my bank accounts are listed under the LLC. I can prove through my state's LLC records that I am the sole director of the LLC, would i have any issues that the money is not in a personal bank account?

I will be coming to Thailand with either a TR 60 day visa or just a 60 day exemption if the TR expires.

My question is since I already have a Thai bank account and will season it for two months, can I just do the the retirement non-o 1 year visa at immigration or do I need to do two steps?

Get the 90 day non-o visa here or there, then have to get the 1 year extension. Seems that I can just skip the 90 day visa. Thanks

My brain hurts!
