Find the jobs first, then apply for the correct visas.

The DTV is not the visa for you in this situation. You need a different visa and a work permit.

@Scott ********
They are clamping down on this now. Your story is not relevant if it is more than a month or two ago.

If your landlord isnt willing to do the TM30 or learn to do it....

Get another accomodation to live in.

@Chris ********
extensions done in Thailand are often more cumbersome than just popping out of the country and then back in.

You just need your passport with your retirement visa, and a Residence Certificate from your local immigration and it should not be a problem opening a bank account.

Bank have been more strict with this lately, but since you hold a long term visa, it should not be a problem.

@Bill *******
But they can't start off with that if they can't give documentation of 12 consecutive months of transfers into Thai accounts in their names.

DTV is indeed multi entry and it should not matter if you are outside of Thailand for 1 minute or 1 year (or more).

As long as your visa is valid.
Marianne ********
You can theoretically come and go as you want until your visa expires.

Anonymous participant Where have you seen that Koreans don't need to pay the application fee for the DTV?

Would love a source on that.
