My visa is up at the end of July so I was looking into extending my 180 days but it seems from all the fb groups and reddit its pretty painful and almost like trying to reapply again with all the updated paperwork. So I think people are just opting to leave Thailand and come back again which seems like an easier choice but a bit more expensive. Has anyone done the DTV visa run from Koh Samui to Singapore yet? Every time I go to Samui I just walk off the plane I have never seen the Visa entry area? lol

So, I am the person who posted yesterday about needing an appointment for the DTV.

1. I didn't need an appointment in Koh Samui

2. After all the paperwork I gave I needed more.

3. Waiting for my landlord to send me a receipt for the rent.

4. I don't think they will give it to me even when I give them what they want.

5. Has anyone succeeded in extending. I think it's not possible.

6. I will update when I get the receipt

So don't be an idiot like me. I went to immigration only Koh Phangan to request a visa extension armed with all the documents, only to find out you now need an appointment! I had no idea. I am now going to Koh Samui for an appointment at 9:00 am tomorrow. No appointments available in Koh Phangan. They told me to go and do a visa run!

Has anyone managed to open a bank account in Koh Samui with a DTV visa?

hello everyone I have a quick question I have to do my DTV boxing visa soon I would like to know if people here they have done it before do I have to go to Vietnam or Malaysia because I live in koh samui

Bonjour tout le monde j’aurai une petite question, je dois faire mon visa DTV boxe bientôt, je voudrais savoir si des gens ici ils l’ont déjà fait, je dois aller au Vietnam ou en Malaisie car j’habite sur koh samui 

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?
