What are the pros and cons of a retirement visa compared to a DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) in Thailand?

Pete *******

Anonymous participant 409 I have the opposite view. The Thai Privilege visas are a complete waste of money offering no real benefits above a DTV and yet costing 640k more. Just throwing money away.

Can I file the TM30 myself when returning from Cambodia, or does the condo owner need to do it?

Pete *******

A new TM30 must be filed only if your return is outside the time window of your original TM30 registration. Assuming you are returning to the same address. A new address always requires a new TM30.

Can I open a bank account in Thailand while staying in a hotel on a retirement visa?

Pete *******

Each bank branch may have different requirements for account openings. All the ones I’ve seen require a certificate of residency together with a 1 year lease.

What are the pros and cons of a retirement visa compared to a DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) in Thailand?

Pete *******

Retirement visa with extensions can live continuously in Thailand, can get bank account, 5 year driving license. Must be 50 yrs or older.

DTV must leave Thailand at least once per year, most leave twice. No bank account, no 5 year driving license. Only valid for 5 years. No age restriction.
