Hello Everyone,

Here are my application processes,

1. As an Australian, I applied my DTV visa online via thaievisa.go.th in Australia.

2. I'm not a digital nomad nor freelancer so I applied as a remote worker.

3. Because of applying as a remote worker, I need to submit employment contract and a letter from my employer confirming that i'm eligible to work remotely.

4. After submitting the above documents with the remaining requirements such as proof of funds, proof of location etc.

5. Also need to provide intended travel date.

6. After 7 working days my DTV visa was approved on 21 November.

Heading to Bangkok in New Year.

Note: If your employment contract does not include remote work clauses, you need a letter from your employer confirming you are eligible to work remotely.

Wishing you all all the best. Hope to catch up some of you in Thailand.

I am moving to Thailand early next year from Australia. With the current exchange rate I am a little hesitant to put 800,000 Baht in the bank to cover my retirement visa. If I was to do the 65k Baht income a month till the exchange rate improves can I then swap to the 800k option? Thank you

I’m going to chang Mai in November from Australia do I need vaccinations at all?

Do you need the 500K baht in your bank account for a certain amount of time or is it okay to just be in there for 1-2 months? (Australian)

Any advice recommendation for health insurance company for Australian coming on LTR

Concern's about new taxes imposed on imcoming proceeds from my country THAT I HAVE ALREADY PAID TAX ON &

worked hard all my life to earn.

Hi to all, Angela here , i am a brand new group member. I am a semi retired middle aged Australian trades-woman. I am not wealthy but what little means i have i worked very very hard for. Indeed no man ever gave me a razoo cent nor did i ever ask.

Having been to Thailand 3 times over the last 15 yrs i have often considered retiring there.

Now i am not so sure 🤔. I have recently learned that the Thai Gov have audaciously proclaimed they will tax the income &/ or in my case incoming disbursements of my own hard earned money into a Thai bank account.

I have already paid tax on my own money 🤷‍♀️in Australia. There is no way i am going to abide supporting such a Yak hyde of a policy. Ned Kelly wore a helmet when he rorted ya but they intend to so so with a straight face 😮.

I would really value some honest opinions on the new tax policy for retiree's before i consider Thailand as a retirement destination, 🤔🤔 Kind regards Angela

Hello again helpful people I am in Indonesia and wondering has any other Australians gotten their visas for thailand from Jakarta if so was it smooth process. I also was ready about a special tourist visa has anyone obtained one of these that can give me some more info. Hugely appreciated again 🙏

I'm from Australia and have the multiple entry non-o marriage visa (Thai wife). Currently on the first 90 days (entered 3rd December). We normally spend 3-6 months per year in Thailand and balance of year in Australia.

-does this give me 90 days per entry or 90 days total across all entries?

-Is it the last 30 days or last 45 of entry stamp that I can apply to convert to annual extension?

-I'll travel overseas returning on 9th March, then leaving again on 4th May. I was planning to convert to annual extension & multi entry before leaving, will that be possible? I'd made flight bookings thinking the original visa was 90 days in total rather than per entry. If not possible I won't be back in Thailand again until after my current non-o expires on 30 October 2023.

If relevant:

-We live in Phitsanulok in her family home when in Thailand

-I've now got the B400,000 in an account, but it won't be 2 months seasoned before my current entry stamp expires due to bank paperwork delays to open account

-We were married in Australia, I've got the Kor Ror 22 issued by local Amphur now

Good afternoon (from Australia), my wife and I, Australian passport holders & both in our 60s, are wanting to settle permanently in Koh Samui early next year.....as we will have immediate family moving there. I know that there is a 45 day entry without visa but am keen to apply for the Retirement Visa (O-A) as we would have the necessary 800k baht each, medical insurance & police check.

I want to apply but am unsure how to go about it....can I go to KS and we both apply there? Is this something I should do in Oz? How would we satisfy the Thai Bank account prerequisite? Also, are we allowed to come into Thailand on a one-way ticket using our 45 day stamp?

I thought I had all this clear in my mind but I'm sorry to say I'm struggling! We intend to leave January 30th 2023.

Hello I am planning on coming to Thailand in November. I originally was looking at coming in on the tourist exemption visa for Australians. From this visa can I apply for the METV or should I just go straight for that visa in my country. I'm looking at staying thailand for a year. I was also looking into the education visa. Thanks for any help in advance 😊
