Hello👋🏻 , m planning my first ever trip to thailand where i would preferably stay for a year at least as a remote worker ( I don’t make 2700$/month for a DTV ) , should i just go visa free for 90 days then leave and get a 90 visa for a total of 6 months ? Is there any better options ? I heard people take muai thai classes for a full year visa. Any help would be much appreciated 🙏🏻

Hi friends, I’m coming to Thailand in October and I’m looking for a nice inexpensive place to stay possibly in Pattaya or Bangkok. Any advice

I want to apply for the DTV visa for Thailand (l saving this September) I have all the qualifications and except the REASON. I am not a digital remote worker.

I have enrolled in a 2 week yoga intensive. I have contacted a few places where I am going but they either only want cash on arrival so no ability to present a receipt of payment for enrollment before applying for the visa from Canada.

One cooking school said “someone applied from here for their visa through our school” and this school offers one day - all day courses but….one day?!

The language schools I contacted want me to enroll of 2 months for 1000$.

Two extremes.

Has anyone found a happy medium for a place on KPG that will take payment from Canada in order to justify a long stay?

Looking for advice.

My dad is 70 and planing to travel back to Thailand for long term stay. Which category of visa he needs to go with it?

He is retired, pretty healthy, no income but 6 of his children in US can support him financially. I heard retirement visa is hard to get for him and I just curious if DTV is a little bit more flexible and easy for him.

Thanks for reading my message!

I got pulled up at immigration and was told I need a visa after coming here for 13 years staying for visa entry

Interesting.

What if you wanted to legitimately tour parts of Thailand only for a total of five months a year, split into two stays, july and august and then later in Dec, Jan, Feb. Do you think you need to get a retirement visa, or some other form of visa, or can you just come in on a tourist visa?

Does Thailand’s new Tax Residency confusion for foreigners impact your interest to stay long term in Thailand?

Hello! Couple of quick questions for the DTV as a little unclear to me...

- Do the proof of funds (500,000THB) need to remain available and in your bank account at all times? If so, when do they check this?

- I got my DTV in Nov 2024. Do I need to renew or repay visa fee at any point? I do leave the country every 90 days for holidays or similar.

Thanks in advance!

Have a question regarding Non O and Non O-A Visas

Does anyone have experience with obtaining a 1-year Non O-A Visa in their home country and then once in Thailand switching to a Non O after a year and after 12 months of depositing needed pension funds into a Thai Bank?

Seems that would be a "smoother" transition. I meet all the requirements, and I was already planning on getting health insurance.

Any thoughts?
