Hallo, I'm on my second non O marriage exstenion, I'm thinking about changing to non O retirement next time, less paperwork only have to visit immigration once, are there any advantages with the Marriage exstenion which the retirement one deosn't have? I get my income letter from the Embassy.

I have only one client and have been earning over 2k, with payments deposited directly into my account. I also have the invoices.

I’ve been getting paid by this client since March 2025, and I’ll have over 500k Bhat accumulated for the past three months.

I want to know if that’s acceptable, or if they require multiple clients.

Has anyone been approved with just one current client?

I’ll be applying from Hanoi, sometimes in November.

In this case, what is better:

1/ A freelancer

2/ A remote worker.

Hi guys, im about to follow my boyfriend in thailand. I work remotely for a chinese company who pays me on France. Is the dtv doable in my case ? What if within the 5 years dtv you stop freelancing ? Thanks !!

Hello everyone,

I am self employed in Germany and have a "company registration" (Gewerbeschein). As far as i understood everything, i should be eligible to apply for a DTV. Does anyone know if it might be possible for me to hire my partner on a small income (450€ Minijob) to make her also eligible to apply for a DTV?

Thank you in advance :)

Hello, I would like to know what is my best option do have a DTV ?

I am 30yo, do not have a work but have ~52 000 baht "income" everymonth.

Should I contact visa agency about my case ? I read many things on internet... dtv visa with muay thai... dtv with cooking lessons... dtv with dental treatment...

I really need a DTV visa because I almost got denied at the border ( too much visa exemption ) and I would like to live at least 50%/50% my country and thailand for my life.

About the other requirement, I have enough in my bank to meet their needs.

Thanks :)

Has anybody had experience applying for the DTV Softpower option in New Zealand?

How many months bank account showing 500,000 baht is required, and what other income information is needed please?

I'm on O visa now 800k route last 2 years. Last year sent 66k month but after extended I took 800k out instead leave 3 months. Thinking let visa expire. Then apply new O visa on 65k route. New application need be 800k first or is 12 months 65k route accepted? Reason for let expire is I'm leaving Thailand for 3 months and renewal date later in year suits me better. Thanks

Hey all, hope all of you had a great weekend.

Just trying to find the easiest way to get a visa for Thailand.

I will be 55 in January.

I have the monthly income that is required for retirement visa but not the 800,000.

What is the best way to get this visa?

I’m so looking to escape the daily struggles of living in the states and tired of just surviving, I want to live in peace and travel Asia.

I would like to make Pattaya my base but also travel to other Asia countries for vacations.

I have asked in a military retirement group but get different answers and have watched so many you tube videos and still not sure.

Any help is appreciated. I really did try due diligence and the closest Thailand embassy is about 700 miles away

Hi! My non-o marriage visa will expire on 7.12.24 and until now, I had no idea I can just extend it without leaving Thailand!

Is there a time limit for the extention? And as I understand from other posts, every immigration office has their own rules? I'm going to visit the one in Sriracha tomorrow. Please give me a few advices before I go there😅🙏

Hi I have a question about the Non-immigrant OA Visa (from my country). If I submit application whist still working (full-time) and declare full time salary on form, then retire a month or 2 later then travel to thailand does this affect visa during the 1 year period. My transfer to superannuation income from full time income will still be well above the 65,000BHT minimum. I will then transfer to retirement visa at end of 1 year period.
