What kind of insurance is needed for a DTV extension in Thailand?

Keith ************

I would guess it's a mistake. They copied the text over from the OA visa email or something. Remember immigration isn't that familiar with renewals of this visa yet.

Why are visa application requirements inconsistent for freelancers and those using the soft power option in Thailand?

Keith ************

If you're coming to Thailand, get used to things not making sense. And get used to different offices of the same branch of government 'interpreting' laws and regulations differently.

Do I have to pay taxes on 1 million baht cash in Thailand if I live off it for two years?

Keith ************

@Stefani *******

it's my understanding that Thai taxes are based on money remitted to Thailand only, and not worldwide income, but they are considering adding the worldwide income aspect.

Why do some members disrespect others in advice groups for expats in Thailand?

Keith ************

I block every single person who gives an answer that is snarky. They get a pass if there's anything useful in the reply though.

Anonymous participant to the local immigration office where you're staying. When I got a new passport, I actually paid an agent to do this. I don't usually pay an agent. They took both my passports down and had the immigration office take care of it.

When you get your new passport, just go to immigration and they'll update their records and transfer stamps over.

Do I need to show THB 500,000 for a Thai visa extension or can I just show varying balances?

Keith ************

No one knows for sure, but I expect extensions to have the same requirements as getting the visa, and I expect they'll be 1,900 baht.

Will the DTV visa documents be checked again upon re-entry or extension in Thailand?

Keith ************

@David *******

he simply asked an immigration officer what would be required for extending in country. The officer replied that you'd have to again show financials and other documents and suggested briefly going out of the country was a better alternative.

Will my monthly deposit method for the 800,000฿ requirement work for my Non-O visa extension?

@Tim ********

Phuket. I had to start with 800k, and do the 65k deposits for a year. No affidavit from the US.
