Hi. When i apply for my 1 year extension retirement visa in thailand ...I dont need to show immigration that I have international health insurance right? I do have travel insurance...but i dont need to show any international health insurance? Is that correct?

Must I do a cooking course each time I come in for 180 days, or just once in 5 years

hi my wife and I been coming for 4mths Nov to March do 30days go to immigration get another 30days, leave Thailand for a week then come back for 30days go to immigration again extension for 30days. Just been told by friend their stopping people doing this,is this correct thanks for any help

For those of you who have already left or returned from Thailand to extend your 180-day visa, did they ask you for any documents at the airport besides the printed DTV Visa form?

I am still deciding over a Single entry Visa or a second Visa exempt after remaining 59 days this year. But my question is, when asking for the Visa or filling TDAC can i put my real exit date ? I plan to stay around 88 days, so i will ask for an extension near the end of the 60 days. Flying in Emirates, they will allow me to change my return date for a (big) fee, so i could buy a ticket with a return in the 60 day interval and then change. But is it necessary to havbe this kind of expense ? Immigration will understand i am able to extend those 60 days . Thanks

In reality does it actually matter under what category you apply? Workation or Soft Power? The actual visa is exactly the same.

I know this is the DTV group but thought I’d ask as no doubt this I’ll apply to plenty in here.

How many times has anybody gone in an out of the country by air on the 60 day visa free with the 1900 thirty day extension without being questioned or denied. I seem to be seeing a lot of people saying they were questioned on the second time and others saying they managed it many more times.

Cheers

Hey guys, bit confused about the 500k THB thing.

The rules say you need to have it in your bank account (crypto not allowed), but I’ve heard some people had to show proof of it again when (re-)entering Thailand.

There’s nothing I can find that says you need to keep that money in your bank account at all times. Honestly, I’d rather invest it than let it just sit there.

Has anyone ever been denied re-entry because they invested that money into stocks or crypto after getting their DTV approved?

Anyone here got personal experience with this?

Alert!: Thai wife visa: I just extended it, with, as usual, the 400k on my bank account. Bangkok Bank says they will block it for 6 months! Indeed, I see I cannot use the 400k! But I read nothing about this new rule in the immigration website! Any idea? Thanks
