Heading to Thailand for a while, are you able to apply for DTV inside of Thailand or does one need to be outside.

Does Thai cooking classes also get covered under this visa and where would one take classes in the Hua hin area?

Thanks in advance

Hi everyone

Me and the Mrs intend to retire somewhere around Hau Hin. This is the plan when I retire at 62 in April 2027.

We will have £400,000 approx from our UK house sale and I will have a pension of £12,000 per annum until we receive our state pension in 2032.

We intend to use this money combined to live and rent.

We are coming for a three week visit next March, is there anything we could be doing in March to get the ball rolling.

We intend to use agents to sort everything out for us so any recommendations will be welcomed.

We realise our plans are in the future and things change but we feel any knowledge is better than non.

Thank you in advance for any help given.

Two days to go before entering Thailand on my non o visa. DTAC all done. Hua Hin where I own my house. Are Kasikorn bank and scb bank still the first two banks to try first ?

Hi everyone

I plan to live in Hua Hin and enter on a 90 day retirement visa approved by the thai embassy in Canada

Will I have to do extensions, reporting etc in Bangkok or can I do the 12 month extension and 90 day reports in Hua Hin

Many thanks

Can anyone recommend a good visa agent please.

We are coming in 2 weeks to Hua hin Thailand. We are renting a villa for a year starting out when we get there. We will be on a tourist visa with 30 days extension. We will be going to immigration to talk to them about getting the retirement visa or the Non immigrant O visa. Does anybody have any advice or think we should do something different?

Hi, my first 90 report is due end September based on TM30 showing rented apartments in BKK.

I bought a villa in Hua Hin and should have the yellow book mid August.

I aim to wait until I have the yellow book then re apply the TM30 showing HH address for the 90 day report.

Am I missing anything for this simple move to make it easy at immigration

Hi all,

am looking at a DTV. Would love to hear from people that have actually applied for this recently. Would appreciate some advice, especially when and where to apply. Am in Hua Hin at the moment and leaving Thailand in 2 weeks.

I have accommodation booked for the month of September in Hua Hin.

Will be in Cape Town for August where I would have the whole month to tackle the DTV.

Please no hearsay 🙏

Hi everyone

This is my first time possibly going to be doing this but I was thinking of doing my first border run but I’m a bit skeptical doing it on my own as I do not know anything. I was wondering if any of you know of a possible agent I could use that would arrange everything for me but not being too expensive please 😅

Thanks in advance guys

I have recently posted a series of Reels/TikToks documenting our move to being retired in Hua Hin, which we now call home!! anyone in the group or other readers please feel free to DM me for details as I will not be so crass, (and also the admins might not like it,) if I just put up my account details. Only happy to help people out though!
