Hello community,

thank you so much for replying to my last post.

I got a much better feeling about going for the DTV after your replies.

But now I contacted an agent and received below reply…

What is the current political situation in Thailand? Does it make sense to apply for DTV?

“Hello Kat,

At this time, we no longer offer services for the 5 Year - Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) due to recent political changes and concerns about the program's longevity. Additionally, banks have stopped allowing banking services for DTV holders.

Instead, we recommend our long-term ED visa services, which do not require you to leave the country every six months and allow you to open a bank account. This is a great option for those under 50 years old.”

Just want to thank Thailand Visa Advice for their free assistance with the TDAC application. I will be transiting through Suvarnabhumi in a few days, but bought the two legs of my journey separately and expect I'll have to pass through immigration and customs before checking in for next flight and different carrier. Was getting hung up on checking the box that I'm a transiting passenger. The official form wouldn't let me select that nor allow me to advance on the application. Reached out to Thailand Visa Advice to take them up on their standing offer of free assistance with this form and it couldn't have been more painless.❤️ About 5 minutes later I was approved and downloaded my QR code. Awesome and very grateful!!

Hello, my Australian partner is doing fly in fly out work in Australia. We are planning to move to Thailand and stay for a year ( I am Thai and our kids are Thai-Aus). Every fortnight My partner need to fly from Perth-BKK-Perth to visit us for a week . Does he need a visa for this case?

Transfer of visa update:

I damaged my passport with the DTV and had to make a new one. I went to immigration and transferred my current DTV stamp and the new stamp has my old passport number written on it. I was told by everyone that I had to carry both passports, but I just went through BKK passport and only handed my new passport which was accepted - I had the old one ready just in case, but he never asked to see it.

Can anyone help with the procedure of cancelling your visa and work permit from abroad? My employer says they will cancel and nothing needs to be done on my end, is this correct?

I'm planning to come back to Thailand on the DTV🙏

Hi hopefully quick question i read a lot about people's visa under consideration is this just for marriage visa or retirement also.

I qualify for both and was on retirement visa for 12 years before we moved back to the UK. We are moving back next year is the marriage visa still a pain ? Or would it be just as easy to get retirement again, will have fund either way.

But this under consideration is baffling me. Because we are selling everything in the UK and last thing I want is any problems.

Thanks in advance

Not so much a Visa question. Driver license in Thailand. Does everyone that has one have two cards? Recently didn’t realize they were different and had the car one while on the bike.

Police let me go because it was a drug stop. He showed me his license.

Hi arrived on non o visa when I apply for 12 months extension is it approved from day I arrived Thailand or day I apply tia

After more than two months of being completely screwed around by “that bank” they now tell me they cannot unfreeze my account and need to give me my money back. I have just renewed my 12 month extension of stay (retirement) and have supplied them the relevant documents including a certificate of residency.

My question is how can I go about changing banks without “breaking” my retirement extension. I don’t have enough money just to deposit another 800k in another new bank while waiting to get my money from the original bank.

Applied for a soft power DTV in Jakarta 07/10 and waited until 21/10 for the answer that the Visa was rejected, since I don’t know the reason why, I will apply again in Laos, has anyone applied recently and got approved there?

Thanks
