I heard about new financial capabilities proof that Thailand has enforced. Does that apply to DTV visa holders also

?

Hi Guys new here so be gentle, I am planning to retire to Thailand in a year or two I have a conviction for drink driving will this hinder my attempt to obtain a retirement visa. I'm 62 and married to a Thai girl for 26 years and have 2 grown up children. All other requirements are fine.

Is the 6 months a year rule for tourist visas / exempt stamps still in effect? Is it only crooked visa agents Circumventing this for clients ATM?

Would there be any problem with a DTV approach where one intends to use the Muay Thai reason for the entire 5 years, and then again and again, indefinitely? I'm advising a friend who is considering retiring here, and he has done a lot of martial arts study in the past and can actually see himself doing very long term Muay Thai study.

hi :) i am currently in thailand- can i exit to Laos and enter with a different passoport? i have 2 of them

thanks so much!

Submitted my DTV application middle of March 2025. I put down an early june arrival date , but my plans have changed and now flying to BKK on the 19th of may and not early June.

What happens if i fly to thailand and my application still isn't approved , then gets approved once i am already in thailand ? I presume I come in on a VOA?

I am also presuming i will have to leave the country and come back in on the DTV?

I called the embassy in australia 🇦🇺 2 times now and they are aware of my new travel date. Lady said she will see what she can do!

Any advice would be appreciated,thanks in advance. Just want to make sure i am following the process. I have no doubt i am not the 1st person to do this! 🙏 ❤️ 🇹🇭

Can I get a 60 day stamp then go to Cambodia or Nepal for 10 days or so, then get a new 60 day stamp in Thailand? Total 120 days?

Can anyone tell me how long I have to leave Thailand for, before I can return for another 60 days. I’m an Aussie tourist with no visa.

Hi! I’m entering Bangkok with just my US passport, will I need to present a return flight?

Hi everyone, on the 27th I'm entering Thailand in BKK with DTV, for the first time, I don't have an exit ticket from the country, could this be a problem? thanks
