Anonymous participant why would you change your DTV-Visa? Best advice I can give you is to wait until your 5 years have finished before you change.

If you’re 50 years old or more the best option is Retirement Visa.

Don’t change to marriage visa it’s the biggest headaches of all visa in Thailand (together with Thai child visa), an obstacle course of requirements and immigration coming to inspect your home to see if you’re really live together and questioning neighbours etc.

I’m married myself to a Thai wife but I will never ever get a marriage visa because there’s many and far better visas to have that has far less requirements and intrusiveness in your privacy.

you don’t think I checked that first, and you’re partially right but there are a few schools that combine online with onsite education and mine is one of them and the school is approved both by immigration and MOE.

After so many years in Thailand you should know that there is no such thing as a general no or a general yes in Thailand. Many special solutions for everything here. And as I mentioned I meet with immigration once a month at my school to take photos with them, nothing will happen regarding my visa as long as I learn to read and write Thai from a MOE approved school with immigration’s approval.

And I don’t need to ask any volunteers because I have friends in more than one government institution here, immigration included.

@Nongnuch *******

then you just made my point for me but you’re obviously to stupid to understand that 😂 you’re obviously suffering from mental illness and you have my sympathy, hope you get well soon 😉

Thai people have great compassion when it comes to physical or mental health or injuries in my experience.

@Nongnuch *******

i lived here for 16 years and apparently I know Thailand better than you 😂 Thailand has many rules that is never enforced. And there’s always 3 ways to to anything here, the right way, backdoor way, and the money way. Keep living in your little bubble 😂

@Nongnuch *******

you are so wrong, I went from visa exempt straight to 1y ed-visa and have photos with immigration officers the process, never had any problems

@Nongnuch *******

you are wrong, there’s a few schools that are approved for online classes. I know because I have my ed-visa from them, and I have photo of immigration officers when getting my stamp every extension.
