Those on DTV in Phuket. Did you have to wait 90 days before you could get certificate of residence at immigration to buy a motorbike?

My Question

Can I get DTV Thai visa from Pakistan, I am frequent traveler with strong travel history including Thailand 🇹🇭, anyone have idea and experience please share

Hello everyone.

I have a DTV visa & I wanted to ask ONLY those who have tried and not speculations or "you must report man !":

Regarding the 90 days report.

I know that we are supposed to report at immigration, ok.

But what happens if I don't stay more than 6 months in Thailand and leave before.

At the airport they asked anyone who didn't report about it ? or no one asks ?

Did someone not report and at the airport they fined him or ask about it ?

Thanks and have a good day !

Hi guys I hope you are all well. I am a uk passport holder currently in Thailand on a non B visa and work permit. I am moving back to head office in Kuala Lumpur in July. My partner lives in Thailand so my plan is to fly in every other weekend from KL. Should I apply for a metv visa or just a single entry every two weeks? Thanks

I am currently on the Thai vise website, I am applying in Hanoï.

They ask for your home address, should I put my address in Vietnam or in France (I'm french).

I can select that my permanent address is not the same as my current but I don't know in which order I should put them as both address are called home address.

Thank you

I came to extend my DTV visa to another 180 days (ko samui). Because of the high season and because i have a dog (super hard to find accommodation with a dog), i moved a lot and only recently found a more permanent home. Anyway, apparently, one of the ridiculous requirements for extending, is that you need to be 3 months at the same home when you are applying... Considering this visa was designed for digital NOMADS, this is an incredibly stupid rule. I have all requirements for the extension beside that stupid thing, I'm in samui so the flight is relatively long and expensive, I would prefer to save the time, energy and money that will be spent on it without any reason whatsoever, but whatever. Heads up to all nomads on dtv out there that move a lot.

I went to 3 banks and asked because I am thinking of switching from Retirement to DTV. Bangkok, K and TSB. Here is what I was told.

1. You can't get a new bank account on a tourist Visa, unless you have property here (and/or a Pink Card), or are married to a Thai

2. Any Bank accounts already open, will not be closed just because you change to a tourist Visa, (Your history of time is evidence you are not a new account for illegal activities)

3. No effort is being made to investigate and close any accounts that do not look suspicious (many multi millions of baht transactions, new accounts not being used etc)

Hope that helps

Caveats:

1) If you are Russian or Chinese then you will face more issues as your countrymen are the majority of the high publicly for fraud that started all this.

2) If you got a Bank account on a tourist Visa before 6 months ago .. Things have changed your experience has no relationship to today situation

If I file for an extension on a non-immigrant O visa, single entry, and it's not granted, what is my best option to stay in Thailand? Is there a way to leave and return quickly?

I have an O-A visa valid until October 4. My 90 day report is due on May 30. But I'm leaving Thailand on June 4, which is 5 days later. Do I have to go to immigration for a 90 day report? If I don't go and just leave Thailand on June 4, will I have any trouble at the airport?

Hey guys. I can't find definitive answer and it's really annoying as it's nowhere said it can't be done like described below.

Is it okay to go abroad, apply for DTV and come back on visa exemption then wait in Thailand for DTV?

I asked two visa offices and one said "yes, you can come back" and other "no, you must stay abroa until approved". 🫣😅
