Anonymous participant 996 I don't think it's a rule. Good advice and sensible, but not a rule.....

90 days from when you arrive

You will be fine! You meet the requirements

To marry a Thai in Thailand you will need to get an Affirmation of Freedom to marry from the embassy, and you need to get it translated and legalised. It was simple enough but I think your starting point is the embassy in Bangkok. I don’t think you can get it in London sadly.

Ok thanks for clarifying. The amount of questions about whether you need to hold it or not shows how unclear it is. Obviously any sensible person would have it anyway. cheers

@Luit ****************

my interpretation was always that because they do not specifically state a timescale like retirement etc, it was not a requirement to hold it unless you extend! 😀

@Luit ****************

I would suggest it is impossible to change the 500k requirement for people that already have DTV quickly - simply because the only change they could make would be to insist you hold it (like other visas) and they wouldn't be able to check/police it quickly

@James *******

indeed. I don’t really get it. Of course there are changes, of course some people have issues but I would generally say it has been stable and we should encourage people that are eligible, not try to scare them and put them off

DTV_Begpacker 😂😂😂😂👍

DTV_Begpacker you really are a sensitive little ‘champ’ aren’t you! The DTV has been in place for over a year and the conditions have been stable. Yes individuals may have moments where IO interpret different etc but I think people thinking about it need to know it has been generally stable, not changing all the time. Clearly you disagree and that’s fine. Bye bye mr anonymous ‘champ’
