For the rental agreement for 1 year in Thailand. What exactly is needed? Just a lease agreement or do we need the official immigration paper like when we extend our visa at the Thai embassy.

Hello everyone, I would like to share that my husband managed to open an account at Bangkok Bank with the DTV visa… Documents provided:

passport

DTV visa

TM30

proof of residence in Thailand

letter provided by immigration. (To request this letter, simply provide TM30, proof of residence, DTV visa and pay 500 baht).

Hi everyone, I know the question I am

about to ask has probably been asked before but I can’t seem to find the exact answers for what I need.

My husband and I re-entered ChiangMai on Oct 27 from our vacation in Europe. We are from the US, and have been living in Chiangmai for about 3 months before we left for our vacation. We have a rental house, lease expires next July.

We have each, bank accounts with the min 800k baht set up a few months ago.

When we entered Chiangmai on Oct 27, immigration stamped for 60 days, expiring Dec 25.

We now wish to apply for the retirement visa. From what I’ve been hearing, I will first have to extend our tourist visa by another 30 days, after that, I’m fuzzy about how and when to do the retirement visa application. Will appreciate step by step guidance from those of you who are experienced. Much appreciated. Thanks!

I asked my hotel for a TM30 so that I can go to immigration and get a TM47 / 90 day report, but all they gave me was a signed letter from the hotel manager stating that I have been staying at the hotel for a while etc.

Does that seem normal to everyone?

I was under the impression the TM30 was like an official form or something.

Are hotels different in that this letter will suffice?

Anyone know?

Cheers

Hi. Regarding the DTV, is the 10k price only for the named visa holder? Or does the dependent also have to pay 10k?

And also, do the visa holders have to check in with Immigration periodically, or is it just every 180 days they have to leave the country?

Thanks in advance for any info.

Hi everyone! First of all I want to wish you a great day!

Second: I will receive my tm30 and will go to extend my visa next week.

What else do I need? I want to be prepared to everything runs smooth 😁

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

regarding the DTV visa, I understand that you have to sign up for programs like Muai Thay, cooking classes or others to get it. This means that I have to complete a relevant program in the first 180 days. What happens if I leave the country after 180 days and re-enter 2 weeks later and get another 180 day stay? Do I have to participate in a program again each time I re-enter the country?

Another question: Do I have to file a tax return and pay taxes if I stay in the country for more than 180 days a year due to re-entry with the DTV?

Thanks for any answers

I am so thankful!!! Glory be to God alone!🙏🤩💪

I've just done my extension based on marriage at Jomtiem today.

Might be of interest to some:

I downloaded TM7 form from Immigration website and filled in at home to save a bit of time. The form has changed so I had to fill in 2 new ones there. You would have thought the immigration website would be up to date 🤔

They also asked if the money, I bring it over monthly, was from a pension. I said yes and she asked for proof which I didn't have. As this is my 5 th renewal she let it go but said it is a new requirement to show where the money is generated from. My guess would be it's to do with this tax thing that's apparently coming in🤔

Good day

Does anyone have experience with how to obtain a medical visa for physical therapy? Thank you.
