Thanks for your report 😃

Johnny47 At this time... not required unless you seek to obtain the 180 Day extension inside Thailand. Watch the forum for updates.

Thank You for your helpful report 👍

Congratulations 👏👏👏

PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.

That's what you should do... print it out.

You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.

Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.

Anonymous participant 690 It's sad to hear of your claim. It only will lead to a crackdown on the DTV visa similar to what happened to the Ed visas and Volunteer Visa fraud of recent years.

In fact another Ed Visa crackdown is now happening in Thailand with thousands of fraudulently obtained Ed Visas being cancelled.

@Charles *******

depends on which retirement Visa you will be applying for...

Read the requirements for the several Thai Visas for retirement on the Thai Embassy in the UK website.

FYI, the OA visa for retirement does need a police clearance certificate. The Non O Visa for retirement does not.
