Updated requirements for the LTR 10 year Visa.

For those who qualify, I believe it is the best Thai Visa available today.

What is the cheapest visa to get for a couple wanting to live in Thailand for the next five years sporadically, like 3 months to 9 months a year. Would it be cheaper to just stay 30 days and extend and do visa runs to neighboring countries or apply for a retirement visa or some kind of digital nomad visa or something else I haven’t considered? Cheaper the better is our priority. We don’t mind traveling and living in neighboring countries.

Please can somebody help me on visas I would like to know if I stay in Thailand for 3 months how long before I can go back as I want to live between England and Thailand and what visa I would need. I tried phoning the Thai embassy but can’t get through. Or if someone can give me a email address for the visas thanks.

Longest and best visa to get?

Thinking of doing muaiThai for school visa for 1 year

But want longest

Re: Non-O vs. DTV visa given banking changes

We planned to convert from a tourist visa to a Non-O after a March trip to the Philippines, using an agent to open a Thai bank account. With the recent banking restrictions, that’s no longer an option.

Now we’re debating whether to:

1) Wait and see if agents can assist with bank accounts again soon, and stick with the non-O plan.

2) Apply for the DTV (soft power) visa while in the Philippines.

I also looked into applying for a Non-O in PH, but it still seems to require Thai bank funds. The OA isn’t ideal since it must be done from the US and requires insurance.

Any advice from those more experienced? Thanks!

Hey DTV experts, I am 40 years old Indian male. Working in Bangkok in a tech job for past 6 years on Non-B visa. My crypto and stock investments did well in past few years. With that, and sufficient savings I am thinking to get retired in next few months.

So, my question is whether I can show my investment returns as regular income for DTV? I am also considering Elite visa but to me it appears complete waste of money.

Would appreciate any insights or advice from those who have navigated similar situations. TIA!

I don't understand the reason why they send a tourist out of the border, and then return shortly after, just to have a stamp (free of charge by the way) in the passport... they could have given it to me at the immigration office...!

Hello i have a question.

i've been seeing so many people saying that they come to thailand on 60 day visa exemption then leave for a few days then come back and get another 60 day visa exemption!

(Edited w/additional clarification)

Earlier in the year when the proposed changes to VOA, Visa exempt, and DTV were announced, it was also mentioned that the Non-immigration visas were going to change by reducing the number of categories/types with possible changes in the requirements. The window mentioned was Sept/Oct.(Dec?) I've not heard anything since. I know there's a different Administration in place now, but has there been any talk of the changes?

I can't find the original article but this has the bulleted "mid-term measures" I read before.
