For Americans that applied for the DTV in the USA, did you have to show a plane ticket and intended place to stay ? The LA consulate lists neither as a requirement and it says you can use the visa whenever you want.

But did they make you show a plane ticket and place to stay in Thailand or no ?

How months of bank statements did they want ?

Because when you apply it says don’t apply more than 3 months before intend stay.

Hello! I'm a freelance web developer in the US using the LA embassy/consulate/location. Myself, my spouse and two kids are working on coming to Thailand for 6-9 months with border hops along the way to reset our stay. I'm most of the way through applying for my DTV but we need to book our accommodations and flight. A couple of questions.

1. Do I apply and get accepted for DTV visa first and then do I apply for DTV visas for each of my family members after?

2. Do accommodations need to be exact or does approximate work? We don't fully know where we'll be staying and we haven't booked our flights yet. Can we provide what we think we're going to do?

Thanks!

TM30 online problem.

I've used the website without issues in october 2023. Now I have an issue: when i click add on the first page to register a visitor, it acts on the "inform accomodation>add" screen, like if there are no registered address... But my address appears and is approved both on the first page and on the profile page.

I've updated the Male/female field as suggested by a member and saved. The update is taken in account but still can't attach a visitor to my adress. Screenshot below for more clarity. Please help....

Hi friends!

I'm sort of frustrated from getting conflicting advice, so just wanted to check:

I'm Arriving in Bkk next week (1st time), is it true I just need a valid passport and a proof of a confirmed hotel booking?

Are proof of travel insurance, outgoing ticket and bank statement no longer needed?

Thanks for your help 😊

Can someone please advise me how much is the monthly living cost in Thailand per person.thanks

My wife (thai) and I bought a house in Hua Hin earlier this year. In the Chanote, I am given the rigth to use the property as long as I live.

Now I want to get a TR visa for 60 days (e-visa), but what can I attach for documentation for accomodation?

Do I really need an invitation from my wife???

Hello, me and my partner arrived in Chiang Mai on a 30 visa exempt visit on 22 August. We would like to get a visa extension for another 30 days.

My question is, for the TM30 do we need to book for a whole month? Or is it possible to only book for a week, because we’re not sure yet where we’re going to spend our time. Will the immigration accept proof of a week accomodation for the 30 days visa extension?

Thank you so much!
