Has anyone successfully use the fast track lane with DTV visa on arrival and departure at survanabumi airport? Since it is a long stay visa?

I see so many differing answers on the forum, I wonder anyone has a good try with it entering.

Hi everyone , so i been seeing a lot of advertisements online regarding a new visa available in Thailand . It shows , If you purchase property or rent longer then a yr then you can get “the long stay visa”. Does anyone know about this visa and any advice regarding visa .

Can the account that you open in Thailand for the long stay be a term deposit? Do they have them in Thailand ?

I got my e-visa non-OA long stay 1 year last week. I just want to share what you need today (in the Netherlands) for this visa. Maybe someone has that question.

50+. Birth certificate, declaration of good behaviour, health certificate general practitioner, extract of civil status. These forms must be original and legalised by Foreign Affairs. Of course application form, passport photos, passport valid for at least 6 months with some empty pages. Address in Thailand and in my case 65000 baht per month minimum. This must be proven with 3 months proof of income account and annual statement.

Thanks to a good reader...I forgot to mention the healthinsurace. At least covid 3.000.000 baht or 1.000.000 Us. Need to take care of this first because immigration wants the form "insurance certificate for foreigners"!! You get this after paying.

As I said....this is what I needed. The first Non OA must be from another country and you can't get it in Thailand.

Just want to share....

Hi. New to the group and unfamiliar with how the country works. How easy/hard is it

Hi. New to the group and unfamiliar with how the country works. How easy/hard is it to move here from the uk and buy a property outright and live here permanently? Guessing what I read on official websites and the realities are two different things. I’m on an Irish passport and the wife is on a uk passport. Thanks

Anyone heard any more info on a new visa that’s supposed to come out called the “Long Stay Visa” for people who buy a condo. I saw a brief video on Facebook that also said anyone who signs a long term lease 1 year or longer can also get the visa and renew it annually. The video mentioned Phuket specifically. Any word?

Wow...it was suggested from another group to join here. This information is all very helpful.

I just applied for my DTV....thank you for recommending bribing my application and documents used to gain my vida for airports and immigration....that makes total sense and seems to be in compliance with being transparent with seeking my permission...as I know its really up to the agent to make things go smoothly.

I have applied online on the Thai e-visa platform as advised by Chatgpt..I am a resident of Chicago and if need be...I can come to the consulate for seeking this is all fails. I have shown more than enough financial security as well as my intentions in Thailand...65 years old, retired, long stay traveler and do not plan on working.

Fingers crossed I get it. I am so used to going to Mexico for 180 day durations...I am just trying to change up my destination for traveling. I recently spent 5 months in Thailand and really enjoyed myself there and the neighboring countries.

Any feedback is welcome.

If I pay for a non-o visa and apply from the UK can I leave Thailand after the 90 Days for a week or 2 and apply for another non-o visa and return potentially doing this for a year ?
