Will I get fined for not doing a 90-day report during my first entry into Thailand?

Greg ********

Only if the particular Immigration Officer picks it up. I know a few who have missed one, travelled then came back, reported and nothing said.

Do I need to be enrolled in soft power activities during my checks for the DTV visa in Thailand?

Greg ********

If you extend at an Immigration Office in Thailand you will need to prove ongoing courses. However, the overwhelming majority choose to do a border run to get a new 180 day stamp. Currently, there are no checks that you have ongoing courses booked.

How long does the visa processing time take after an interview, and can it be approved sooner than expected?

Greg ********

Anonymous participant It well over 20 years since I have been to the Thai Embassy on London. Back when you had to go in person for a Touriat Visa. I used to sometimes go to the Thai Square nightclubs at Trafalgar Square around that time. Thai Embassy and Thai Airways staff sometimes there. Anyway - hope you make your flight next week.

Hopefully as you had an interview the process is a little faster. As I said yours was the first interview I had heard of in London. Good luck anyway and hope it all works out.

What are the drawbacks of a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) compared to a Retirement Visa in Thailand?

Greg ********

@Jared ********

I think it may depend on which Land Transport office you renew at regarding the 2 year or 5 year renewal. Like most things in Thailand "It depends". I am pretty sure someone posted they got a 5 year in Chiang Mai on a DTV.
