I need urgent advice here : this is my 3rd day in Bangkok, my realtor agent promised to take care of my biz ; but as soon as I realized that he tried to rush me into an expensive rental contract, I decided to pull out. I need to take care of the following steps : 🙏🙏

1) where may I report my hotel address ?

can I rely on my hotel to do this for me ?

2) how and where may I extend my Non-O (3-month) visa into an annual visa, so that my visa will be good for a year and I can renew it a year later ?

what is the official name of this type of visa ?

3) what banks do you recommend to open an account with ?

4) please recommend a trustworth realtor agent you have dealt with before for a rental.

(prefer a single room with co-work space、gym、pool、sauna and/or steaming room、within 10-minute walk from subway station, budget 14k-17k baht)

Thank you very much for your sharing ! 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Hello everyone,

I'm from France. I just got a PhD in Al and would like to focus on a personal project for one year. Renting a condo in Bangkok would be perfect for me, my goal is to work a lot while keeping an easy life alongside it.

Is there a way I could apply for a DTV as a digital nomad without clients?

I have more than the required 500k THB in my personal savings account and have had it for years. I wouldn't have any income this year, but I have enough to live on.

This project would take all my time, so I'm not sure that applying for a soft power activity is a good idea. But if you know any not-too-restrictive activities in Bangkok, I would be interested.

Thanks to anyone who takes the time to answer me.

Hi, I’m Iranian. I came to Bangkok one month ago on a tourist visa to look for a way to get a longer-term visa.

Someone suggested the DTV (Destination Thailand Visa) to me.

I know I have to leave Thailand to apply, but as an Iranian, which country should I go to — Laos, Vietnam, China, or somewhere else?

How long does the whole process take?

While the application is being processed, can I return to Iran, or do I have to stay in the country where I submit the application?

Also, is a personal interview required, or can everything be done online?

How much does the visa process cost in total?

And finally — is Bangkok a good place to live for now, considering that I don’t have a job yet and I just want to apply for a visa so I can later find work there?

Can i rent a condo on a 90 day tourist Visa or do i need a longer visa like the ED Visa? I wanna get a feel for Bangkok first before committing.

Hello, my apologies. I’m sure this question has been asked many times. I will be living in Bangkok starting next month. I’ve signed a lease. Can anyone please provide me an agent/agency that can help me with a retirement one year visa? I have talked to one agency and their fee was about $5000.

Hi,

I have recently applied for DTV from Pakistan . I was called in for an interview on 19th March where the visa officer asked me questions on my intent to stay in Thailand and my employment evidence. He also raised a little bit of concern on my no travel history in the past . Overall, interview went well.

How many days should it take for me to hear back from them ?

If approved, what would be the next steps ?

I have read about challenges at immigration in Pakistan as well as in Thailand while getting in or out on DTV,

Is that true ? What challenges can I expect to have ? What would be the solution?

Which areas should I focus on living in Bangkok, Thailand which are digital nomad friendly and have vibrant nightlife.

Any recommendations or information would be highly appreciated 🙏

Thanks,

Hi everyone, has anyone recently secured the DTV as a remote worker while in Vietnam? I’m from the U.S. but live in Bangkok and will leave for Vietnam next week to pursue the DTV. I have my offer letter stating that I’m a remote IT worker, my boss also wrote a letter to double down on that as well, I have $18k in savings that I’ve saved up the last 4 months or so. I also signed a lease on an apartment here in bangkok I plan to stay in Vietnam at least 2 weeks. Do you think it’s enough? I don’t have 6 months of statements amounting to $18k each month.

Hey All, I'm a flight attendant seeking to move to Bangkok. can I apply for the visa from the states? I need to go back and forth every 3 weeks , would that alarm immigration?

Hi all, we are relocating to Bangkok next summer and need some advice/answers about visas.

I'll be going to grad school in Bangkok and want to bring my spouse and our 2 babies with me. How difficult, long, expensive is the process to get visas for them? And do we apply for them beforehand or after we arrive?

I don't know if it matters but we are French, American, and kiddos have dual citizenship FR/US

Thank you!

Good day

My question is medical related. I am type 1 diabetic and am living in Bangkok. I just want to know what the general pricing for insulin is here, without insurance, as I haven't gotten insurance here yet. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you !
