Can US retirees apply for a DTV in Thailand?

@Chris ******

soft power isn't going to work for a 70 year old and it is becoming less and less reliable. They also mentioned nothing about coming to learn courses or interests, just hoping rental income would do it.

Nope. Your husband can get a retirement visa. You will have to get a tourist visa 2 months with 1 month extension while in country for total of three months, then leave to a bordering country for a day or two, then return and on another two months. You can do that each year for a total of 5-6 months in the country per year.

Why was my entry denied by the immigration officer in Thailand despite having a DTV?

J.P. *********

Anonymous participant 957 Not sure if you are familiar with this DTV visa, but most of us apply for it as people working remotely from Thailand and that is why they grant it.

Should expats over 50 switch from a retirement visa to the DTV visa in Thailand?

J.P. *********

You'd have to end your retirement and work remotely for a company or train in thai cultural soft powers, like cooking or muai thai.

How did I successfully apply for a DTV visa after being denied entry into Thailand?

@Damodar *******

aah!!! For training, you can no longer be considered a tourist. If you just said holiday it would have been smooth sailing. Man, they are really cracking down.

Happy ending! Crazy they wouldn't let you in as a regular tourist. Why isn't it possible after having learned 9 months and away a month you are just coming to chill? And with a US visa yet, not a suspect country where you are sneeking for freedom or anything. Scary stuff.

Why are Thai massage classes not considered a form of soft power for the DTV visa?

J.P. *********

Make sure the course is more than 3 months, that other tourist visas can't accommodate

What documents do I need to provide for a DTV visa application through a Muay Thai gym in Taipei?

J.P. *********

My thought is they prefer retired people wishing to stay an extended time to apply for the retirement visa. They'll make it hard on you to try to do otherwise.
