I live in Koh Samui. My old passport has my non b visa in but doesn’t have space for a re-entry stamp.

My new passport is ready to be collected in Bangkok and then I want to fly home to Europe.

- Can I get a re-entry permit into my new passport at BKK on my way out and travel with two passports (visa in old passport and reentry in new passport)?

- Or can I go to an immigration in Bangkok and transfer the visa to my new passport, or do I need to return to koh samui for this?

I’d like to avoid having to travel back to Koh Samui to sort this out.

Hi! I’m trying to apply for DTV visa

Does anyone know of a Moay Thai gym on Koh Tao, Koh Samui or Koh Phangan that is compatible with the DTV visa?

We are a British couple (over 50) who have taken early retirement and are considering relocating to Koh Samui.

We currently live in Northern Cyprus so do not have access to a Thai Embassy/Consulate in order to apply in person for a 90 non immigrant O visa prior to arriving in Thailand.

I have looked at the Thai E-Visa website to try to apply online but I cannot see this visa type as an option (just a long stay OA visa or a Tourist visa).

My question is if we arrive on an initial 60 day Tourist visa will I be able to open a bank account with this visa type, in order to then meet the financial requirements to apply in Koh Samui for the non immigrant O visa, and subsequent extension?

Has anyone applied and succeeded for DTV using the Thai intensive course with Mind Language School in Koh Samui?

They offer a 2 week intensive course to learn Thai and say it’s eligible for the DTV as well.

I thought you can only do a language course on an ED’s visa?

🇹🇭 My Experience Getting the DTV Visa – Sharing My Journey

Hi everyone,

I just got my DTV Visa approved, and I wanted to share my experience to help those currently going through the process.

📍 Context:

## 🗓️ My Step-by-Step Process:

🔹 Monday, March 10 – Online Application Submission

Documents provided:

✅ Passport

✅ Proof of presence in Vietnam (*flight ticket, Vietnam visa, receipt from a local purchase*)

The consulate asked for:

🔹 Bank statements translated into English (*I translated them myself*)

🔹 A photo

🔹 A copy of all passport pages

🔹 Friday, March 15 – Returned to Thailand

I decided to return to Thailand while waiting for the final approval.

🔹 Monday, March 17 – Visa Approved at 10 PM! 🎉

A huge thank you to this community for all the valuable information shared. I hope my experience can help others going through the process! 💙

Good luck to everyone applying! 🙌

Hey everyone

I am currently on Koh Samui and I am looking for a 'soft power' course, that is eligible to apply for a DTV visa. Preferably sports, but not MT. (language school if eligible).

Does anyone of you know a place here on the island, that has at best already experience with approved applicants?

Also, do you guys know if 'Thai language' course can fall under the DTV category or will that require an edu visa?

Not sure if this is the right page, but i wanted to ask if there is anyone on here who owns a condo here on koh Samui. We are looking to possibly buy one at the Bay Condominiums near Bangrak, and have a few questions regarding how much we can expect to rent it out at and taxes both here and in Australia that are not being answered well enough by the realestate companies.

If anyone can help that would be great.
