Anonymous participant ask these guys. They are very good. Been involved in a couple of my moves in and out of Singapore and Europe. I did not bother to Thailand though. Hand carried what I needed from Singapore to Thailand

Is it worth it to ship furniture and electronics when moving to Thailand on a DTV visa?

Greg ********

You will be taxed on it. Just not worth doing it for Thailand.

How can I successfully apply for a 180-day extension on a DTV visa in Chiang Mai?

Greg ********

@Michael *******

If it was me I would do same as you. Have a few days somewhere on a short flight. I have completed 2 borders run previously. Each was to get a Visa Exempt so I could move to a B from and O and from a B to an O. Years later I do not have good memories of either :-) :-)

Can I continue remote salaried work for my Dutch company while on a DTV visa in Thailand for 3-5 years?

Greg ********

As long as your company lets you then no problem doing the remote work on the DTV from Thailand

Is Rawai a good base for a DTV visa holder in Phuket, and what are the tips for renting and finding accommodation?

A Thai DL can be used as ID in many places here too. I have used it at the bank counter instead of passport. People have used them to fly domestically but that is not always 100%. It does act as 2nd photo ID on top of passport is 2 are required.

The schools usually do all the work for you. Get the Residence Cert, Med Cert, ensure you score high enough on the written test, take the practical over and over till you pass. :-)

Sorry I do nkt but have a Google. There will be schools about. I did mine in Chiang Mai and a handful of DTV people doing the test the same time at the weekend. I saw a few of them picking up the license on the Monday at the DLT.

Can I obtain a DTV visa by taking a Thai cooking course?

Greg ********

Anonymous participant You would probably need to use an agent or one associated with a school for that - they then check all your documents and application.

I think the owner of this school posts in here. I love Bangkok and lived/worked there for years and spent a lot of time there on business outside of working there. However, for pace and quality of life, Chiang Mai is much better and costs way lower.

Anonymous participant You can do a one day border run in a nice car - 2500 for the car and your Laos visa costs etc. I think you get back Chiang Mai late afternoon. Probably quicker than an extension if you need a few trips to the airport office.
