It’s possible I did in and out 10 mins

@Daniel *****

it’s Vientiane in Laos

I have seen some posts in this group people doing comfortably at HcM if you are looking for Vietnam

My advice would be you ask questions with a bit more clarity

If you ask open ended questions you will get open ended answers

I applied in Vientiane, for me, main asks from officer was to show the contracts and also highlight the payments received from the contract in bank statement

Thanks for the write-up, me also applied and received from Vientiane. Cheers to Vientiane

Nice great to hear. I also got my DTV recently from Vientiane. Danang is a great place to be

Thanks for sharing I intend to apply this Friday from Vientiane

@Lucy *****************

it’s new destination Thailand visa (DTV) they have many categories, I think if we can show proof of $ and fit into some categories like remote worker learning Thai etc would qualify

We can visit and stay 180 days at a time and can be extended once within Thailand for another 180 days

wow then great , you will be able to figure out living costs very soon from someone’s in the group

Best wishes 🤗

You also check for new DTV Visa where you can stay upto 6 months at a time. and valid for 5 years and who knows by 2026 things will be more lenient. as many suggested you do a test visit few times before 2026 before making final call. You could also consider Cambodia or Laos - Cambodia has retirement visa, Laos doesnt have retirement visa as such, but easy to get long term visa. Laos and Cambodia hospital services are not so great compared to Thailand, but worth exploring because of the kind people and prestine nature and laid back living.

No problems with how many times , as long as you exited on or before visa date

They will now stamp for 60 days

Have gone 4 times already this year
