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

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.

How does the Thai spouse visa work if my Thai national wife stays in America and I want to live in Thailand for a few months?

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

Get a non-immigrant O for 3 months, or come as a tourist 2 months and extend for one. You can only get 3 months away from her. If she comes to thailand within the 3 months, and you are on a non-immigrant O, you can apply for a marriage visa for a year. If she doesn't come, you have to leave after 3 months for a while, then re-enter.

Why was my DTV visa application rejected despite providing required documents?

@Alex ********

unfortunately, yes, these were all potential red flags, as well as any border runs without multiple days in other countries. It looks like a lot of scrambling to figure out ways to stay in the country, rather than anything completely legit.

What should we know about extending a dependent DTV visa in Thailand?

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

So sorry to hear. They haven't ironed out the kinks yet, and who knows if they ever will.
