Hi, I'm retired and wanting to live in Thailand for a year starting in September.

I have 2 properties which bring in approximately 80k baht per month in rent... plus about 1 Mio baht cash.

I do want to give extra lessons online to only non-Thai clients. However, I will only be starting this now so I have no portfolio. Retirement visa vs. DTV? Any suggestions much appreciated.

Hello :) Can I still get my 1-year retirement extension done if my passport expires in 9 months? I will go to my home country in the meantime for a new passport. Thanks :)

Does anyone happen to know if I obtain a DTV and sponsor my son on it (He’s 20 yrs old) will his Visa be good for 5yrs as well? Or will it only be good until he’s 21? Thanks in advance 😊

Will soon submit my request for extension of stay with one year this week, based on the appointment with the IO in Koh Samui (Non-O Retirement). With regards the usual bank paperwork for the thb 800k (held over past 12 months) , has anything changed this year?

I ask so because I just saw a YouTube video stating several retired people were rejected in their extension request by their IO because they reportedly could not prove the 800k originated from sources abroad, whilst this same money was already in their bank for last few years, and during last year extension this was not an issue.

Note 1: the example stated the person had taken some funds over past year and replenished this later to the required 800k, from local sources he held in Thailand.

Note 2: the checklist I received from IO last week does not indicate any different requirements, except I had to agree that they have the right to investigate my data and documents provided.

--> Please your advice on this matter of the 800k (which I have held in my SCB account for 2+ years, and have never taken any of it.

Much thanks.

As a us citizen will it be ok to have put my birth city, and not the state? The city is not showed on the passport just the place of birth being a us state. Applyied from USA? Been a week

If I apply for the DTV in Manilla on my layover to the USA, can I leave Manilla before the decision and results are sent to me?

If I entered Thailand 6 months ago Visa exempt and then got a tourist visa extension to stay an extra month. Would I encounter doing the same again in September? I hear it's at the discretion of the immigration officer. Your opinions will be greatly appreciated

Applying in London via soft power Route. Have got the 500k seasoned in bank account, but I rarely use this account. Just to store savings, but it is a current account in my name. Will this be a problem submitting the statements with not much activity?

Should I also provide statements from my monzo with no saving but what I use for day to day payments showing regular activity? Can put a brief letter to explain why I’m showing both account. Do you think it’s necessary? Or just my account with my 500k savings will be suffice?

Hello. My daughter applied for a tourist visa (60 days) and got rejected. Which is a surprise because she visited 4-5 times before without any problems. As a citizen of Kyrgyzstan, could she arrive and get “visa on arrival “ which is for 15 days, and then later extend it for another 2 weeks? Or could she leave for the weekend and re-enter again? Please I need any advice because she needs to travel in 2 week already… thank you

Hi,

I am applying for the DTV and just curious if anyone has any issues applying for it online. Also, could you provide the correct url? I’m afraid I’m going to go to a scam link. 



I actually live very close to the consulate. Do you think it would be better just to go in and handover the documents in person?

 Thank you for your help.
