Here’s a suggested path of the process:

Resign as Director: Step down from your position as the director and appoint a Thai director to replace you. The new director will then cancel your work permit and visa.

Apply for DTV: Once your work permit and visa are canceled, you can apply for a DTV

Income Requirements:

If your overseas income has been deposited into your personal account, you should meet the DTV requirements without issues.

If your income went into the corporate account, DTV approval will be very very hard. Only show income and work personally you did. You may want to consider a temporary dtv setup while you gather the necessary document such as Muay Thai or cooking.

Fall Back Plan:

If the DTV application doesn’t work out, you can always revert to managing the company. Reapply for your visa and work permit to resume your role as director and your staff are still employed.

it’s 10,000 baht for five years.

Even if he has one medical appointment at a hospital. Some embassies accept it for this visa which is good for the five years.

he should be on a five year. DTV Visa. Just do a search on google. A company on top of the list has had over 100 MuayThai boxers approved.

They knew exactly what they were doing. Watch the interview. They can't change it now for those who already have five-year multiple-entry visas if they cross the border. That ship has sailed, and they're grandfathered in.

Hi Greg,

Earlier this year, the Thai embassy in New Zealand adjusted visa fees and irrespctive of the visa you apply for, it's between 4 and 8 times more in New Zealand than anywhere else. I wrote to the ambassador and the visa section about it and they did not reply. I wrote to the Prime Minister of New Zealand and the New Zealand embassy in Bangkok and both said they would follow up with the Thais - that was months ago and no change. The foreign Minister of NZ contatced me after the Prime Minister referred my email to him....and he said he was concerned about it and would look in to it, but nothing. My best guess is that they somehow messed up the exchange rate from THB to NZD and that is the cause. Certainly, there does not seem to be any other reason for it!

multiple which means come and go 500 times if you want in the 5 years. Each entry is 180 days. If you stay 3 days. No problem. It resets when you renter for new 180 days.

@Trevor *****

I don’t have any connection to that group but what they are suggesting, would require you to go to the bank with them and be at immigration. You would still be with your passport.
