Do I need a special type of visa to rent a condo in Bangkok and travel between the US and Bangkok? Plan would be to rent a place there and stay in BKK for 2-3 weeks every other month or so and when not there be back in the US.

Possible? Will a standard tourist visa work? Can I rent a yearly condo with this type of set up?

Thanks!

Anyone went to Bangkok to get their LTR stamped after having received the qualification endorsement from BOI? If so, I would like to know how long did it take you after you submitted your TDAC and passport copies to get the visa appointment?

Hi Guys,

It's soon time for my LTR one year reporting at OSOS. Is this an easy process?

Thanks

I'm seeing a few posts recently where people are saying that immigration do not like in country extensions on the DTV and prefer you to do a border bounce. And also that Bangkok Bank (and perhaps soon others) are shutting down accounts for DTV holders.

We have Bangkok Bank accounts, opened years ago when we lived there. Also a Krung Thai bank account. No issues so far. Currently we are off shore.

We qualify for DTV, LTR or retirement. We have an online business that produces passive income and have savings.

I'd like to hear from holders of each to see which is better and if you've had any trouble before with extensions. Thanks.

For those who are here on the DTV and had their bank accounts closed, what are the options to get a new bank account if you are under 50? If they refuse to open new accounts to people on tourist visas (DTV included), is the only option to either get married or simply buy the Elite visa? I cant imagine living here without a bank account so trying to find a solution to this. Buying the elite visa just for a bank account is not a good option.

My agent has requested that I obtain a Thai phone number to obtain my LTR Visa stamp at the BOI. I am hoping for an inexpensive way to obtain a Thai number, as my current U.S. service will remain my primary phone plan. Google has provided many options, but most require relativeley expensive plans. Can anyone please recommend a service or app for an inexpensive Thai phone number (or one that had a reasonably priced plan)? Thank you for the helpful information in advance!!!

So much misinformation.

I’m getting my LTR and was wondering if I could pay the 50k fee by QR code, as many said there’s a 5k limit.

Well, I just paid without any problems.

Ofc I had to scan my face, but that’s just a security measure that I love.

Hi everyone 👌.i need advice...I'm asking about what kind of visa for parent of thai child ..long term stay

Thanks 🤜🤛

I am an American and have had a retirement visa for 3 years. I am actually retired but tired of going back to immigration every year. I have no issues with leaving the country once a year. I am retired but have no issues with taking a cooking class if required.
