Does a DTV visa qualify you for permanent residency in Thailand if staying for at least 3 years?

Hi! I am currently in Thailand on a non-immigrant ED visa extension. Today, upon re-entering Thailand, I received this stamp with this category (green circle). Does anyone know which category this falls under? Is that okay to keep it or should I go back to airport immigration to fix it?

If I pay the $400 usd DTV visa fee and get rejected, will I have to pay it again if I apply again? Will I be allowed to apply again or is that it and I'm rejected for good?

I am applying for a non-immigrant visa so I can work in Thailand. The last requirement is asking for a WP32. How do I go about obtaining this?

5 . WP32 (An approval letter from the Ministry of Labour) or work permit in case of Non-Immigrant B renewal (Japanese is waived from the requirement to submit WP32)

Has anyone by chance tried to renew their 5 yr driving licence yet with the dtv?

Went to dlt yesterday and they said can only renew for a 2 yr licence because only have 6 month stamp in the passport, even though the visa is valid for 5 year!

Hello, does anyone know what type of visa I should get if I want to stay more than 60 days in Thailand? PH passport holder. Thank you.

Anyone have experience of how to get a non immigrant 90 days business visa approved?

My situation is, citizen of the Netherlands, private funding for a new business in Thailand, which will 51% Thai, so not employed, more than required money in bank statements, invite letter from a Thai business and citizen.

Instead of reservation of hotel, a reservation of a condo for a year.

Dear all,

my passport was stolen or I lost it. I have a temporary one tomorrow, and need to exit thailand for work asap. I have a F visa (non immigrant), which need to be transfered i guess befopre i leave the country (question 1).

question 2: I red several threads, but not sure of the final answer about where to go. IT Square or governement building (I am based in Bangkok).

Many thanks for you help

Olivier

I'm starting to get questioned at immigration, yet they still let me in.

So, I have no problem getting the correct visa, problem is, which one do I need?

British citizen.

Under 50 years old (50 next year).

Married to Thai with kid.

3 weeks on/off.

Thanks in advance.

Hi fellow DTV’ers

I got my visa last month, and arrived in Bangkok 17th October.

I have tried asking at a few banks about opening an account and all have told me I need a work permit. I think this is not entirely true, as I know a few people on a retirement visa who have opened accounts.

Any tips on which banks or branches will open an account, and what is needed.

TIA
