QUESTIONS
What is the 180 rule for the DTV in Thailand and how soon can I return after leaving?
COMMENTS
Should I apply for the DTV visa now, or will the rules become more restrictive later?
Samantha
**********
Fact is, no one knows.
So your choices are:
Do it now
Don’t do it now and hope they don’t change the rules later.
It’s that simple… I think.
Can a UK sole trader use their tax return as proof of employment for the DTV visa in Thailand?

Hi
I went via London Embassy. For company proof I sent them my business certificate (my company is UAE based) so I’d throw in your certificate of incorporation and anything else you have that relates to your ownership.
Basically send as much paperwork as you have.
Makes it a lot easier and quicker!
What should I do if I'm applying for a DTV visa but my flight date is uncertain?

No translation was asked for. Not from the London embassy at least.

And when they ask you for proof of flight…. Onwardticket
(Used that for both mine and my husbands DTV)
Can one apply for the DTV visa using funds in a Thai bank account?

Yup. Bangkok bank for both my husband and I
Do I need to show 500k baht for a DTV application as a spouse if my husband is the primary applicant?

Brit here.
I applied via London embassy (freelancer)
Got my visa then applied for my husbands spouse visa. Neither of us have a UK bank account.
We used a visa agent.
Here’s how that went…
I have a Thai bank account, was told to put an additional 500k in my account for him.
Did that.
10 days later the embassy (via the agent) said that wasn’t good enough and that he also needed a Thai bank account with 500k in.
Flew to Thailand, opened a Bangkok bank account for him, put the 500k in there.
They then requested proof of his flight.
Sent that off.
Got his visa this morning (10 days after sending the flight details off)
Reading all the posts on here I think it really does depend on the embassy.
Is Thailand not suiting your needs while on a DTV visa, and where are you considering going next?

Can I enter Thailand on a visa waiver while my DTV visa is being processed?
Samantha

No issue at all
Husband is waiting for his approval. We went and came back, no problems at all
Is my DTV visa stamp valid for five years despite being an entry stamp for 180 days?

I got my stamp the other day.
I was really disappointed, wanted a shiny sticker… or something.
I got what you got.
I wanted a shiny thing.
