Hi everyone, I have a question regarding my situation

I’ve been staying in Thailand on a DTV visa while working remotely. My wife also got a DTV visa as my dependent.

Now I’ve received a full-time job offer in Bangkok, and the company will provide me a Non-B visa.

I’d like to ask

1. If I switch to a Non-B visa, can my wife continue staying in Thailand with her current DTV visa, which was applied as a dependent under mine? (Her DTV stamp doesn’t mention “dependent.”)

2. After 6 months, when she needs to do a border bounce to renew her stay, will there be any issue re-entering Thailand since my DTV will no longer exist?

3. Would it be safer to cancel her current DTV visa and apply for a Non-O dependent visa later (even though I’ll still be in my probation period under the new job)?

Thank you very much in advance for your advice and experiences!

Can someone who’s recently received their DTV confirm if the proof of 3 months of 500,000 baht needed in the bank. Can I apply for the DTV on the third month? Meaning I have proof of the last 2 months and the current month I’m currently applying would that suffice? Or do I need to wait until the end of the 3rd month?

Hey there! I get that this might seem redundant for a lot of specialists. I'm a retired US military vet over 50, pulling in more than 65,000 baht a month from my pensions, plus I've got a financial portfolio that's over 800,000 baht. After checking out some older posts, it looks like I can qualify for a Retirement visa (without the hassle of depositing 800,000 in a Thai bank), and I'm also interested in the DTV Softcore visa since I want to learn Muay Thai.

So, my main question is: what are the pros and cons of each visa option? If I can qualify for both, which one is easier to deal with in the long run?

I heard that with the DTV soft core visa, you have to leave the country every 180 days, but that's not an issue for me. And most of the gyms offer courses 1 year or less of duration, meaning after that course Legally I would of out of status

My application non immigrant O. has been sat at pending approval for almost a week after having resubmitted evidence of funds at their request. My first submission screenshots of wage slips not sufficient. Worried that having transferred from one of my accts £10k on the day of resubmitting and providing bank statement was also not acceptable? Hope I am over worrying. No one answers the phone there in London Embassy, spent hours ,I have sent email too. Do I need to re apply? I would expect the ‘rejected’ to be highlighted in that event.

Anyone!

Any DTV agent in pattaya ?

Hello everyone.

Just had a quick look at the Thai embassy site at work as I'm looking to move out there end of year.Under Retirement visas, I couldn't see the non-O as an option, just the O-A ..have they scrapped the non -O ? TIA !

Thank you all members on this group for the helpful information. I just got my DTV softpower Visa! 🍀

I was many times in Thailand, try to stay in Thailand without a visa up to 6 month, but last time they took me out to explain me that I need a good visa. So after I fly to my homecountry Austria i contact the Thai embassy in Vienna via email for more information about the DTV and the 500.000Thb, they want to see. They told me, they also except online bank account statements (English!) from Revolut, but the money have to stay minimum 3 month! I ask if a saving account on revolut also ok, but never get answer 🤣 so I transfer all my money to my revolut main account, hold in around 14000€, and use this account all the time for spending in Supermarkt, shopping in Austria 🇦🇹 I think it’s also a proof that you stay in Austria while you apply, because I heard the embassy in Vienna, that they like to invite you for a interview. And when you live far away it’s not easy to take time and go there. So I was lucky- no interview!

Here are the facts:

September 12> my agent in 🇹🇭 check and apply all the documents for me (cost me 5500THB) including the papers from MuayThaiCourse 6Month/2Class (28000THB)

Meanwhile I was working and waiting in Austria and was shocked that I got this message:👇

September 17th> Nachforderung:

- A cover letter explaining your current profession and how it aligns with the DTV requirements-

So I just wrote some letter, explaining my job, my company, my income and ask my boss for a extra confirmation that I am able to go to Thailand long time and I am able to work again in the future whenever I want because him have many company’s so it’s easy to quit and start again. All this I send in English and wait until yesterday evening (25.9) to get My DTV! ✅

… so it took me 13days including weekends. Some nights I was not able to sleep, because I was thinking they not want to give me the visa for some reason, because many people book the MuayThai school, but never go. I payed a lot so I also want to use. Anyway I need more sport activities! 🤣 I am happy that everything is done, I think it will be harder in the future to get this kind of Visa.

Wish you all good luck

I am currently living in Thailand on a non-immigrant O spouse visa. I plan on applying for a DTV 6-months before the end of my current non-immigrant O as this is the only time I will be in another country for long enough for the application process. A few questions:

1) I see on the document list I need a 'Document Indicating Current Location.' Does that mean Thailand or UK?

2) Assuming it means the UK, what kind of document would that be e.g. a bank statement with my parent's UK address on?

3) Am I correct in thinking I can't start the application process before I leave Thailand?

4) Do I need to do something to cancel my non-immigrant visa or will it auto cancel when I get my new DTV?

Hello members . Got a question . I did apply for the 90 days retirement visa . Question is can I still . apply for a 30 days extension visa

Remote working mum, of an adult child dependent applying for DTV, does the adult child dependent (age 20) apply after my approval or with my application?
