Nice little tool/ life hack to help with you hunt for a DTV soft power:

Facebook/Meta has a searchable Library of ALL advertisements currently active on the platform. by searching "DTV Visa" you can find any business currently running ads targeting people looking for DTV applicable courses.

This could be useful for finding courses you may have not been aware of before and finding courses with low advertisement budgets that may have not otherwise have reached you.

Tips:

-Set the country to Thailand

-Set your preffered language

-play around with different keywords e.g. Citys, Interests, Etc

KEEP IN MIND:

-ANYONE can make a business account and run ads on Facebook

-If it looks sketchy or too good to be true, it is.

-Do your research to verify businesses are legitimate and have a physical presence in Thailand.

Feel free to use this post to comment on your findings, concerns, and questions, or give any more tips.

Has anyone here with a DTV been able to get a Thai driver’s license? If so what did you do , documents needed ?

I just realized that we needed 3 months of bank statements. I was planning to get my Visa in Vietnam in February, but I only moved the funds over to my savings account this month from my brokerage account. I have the funds, they just haven't been sitting there in savings for 3 months. Is this ok or does it need to be for 3 months?

Good afternoon. I'm arriving into BKK next week. 2 months VISA exempt. Last time I flew from Paris, they wanted proof of return ticket. I haven't got one as I intend to visit Laos, Vietnam as well and then return to Thailand. I've already booked accommodation in laos before my 60 days is up. Foes anyone know if I show proof of this whether airlines accept it. Air india this time

Not read posts for a while, wondering if there is any change in the need for your physical presence for the 1st 90 day declaration, can you use an agent for it? Thnx

Hi could anyone advise me of the best esim for thailand we will also be going to Ko Samu. I would prefer best coverage not necessarily the cheapest. Thanks for any tips

Workcation - remote worker application through Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam

I have been poring through posts from people who have applied through Vietnam as well as other countries and my question is:

1. if you have the documents, should you just submit them all?

ie - instead of providing the minimum and waiting for the request for additional documentation, just put everything into the pdf (paystubs, bank statements, resume, screenshots of remote work sample, etc etc if you have it)

Thoughts?

My 60 days are up next week. What's to do?

1. Wait for them to update the calendar tomorrow?

2. Go there without an appointment?

3. Don't even try, better go on a visa run?

Hey guys, I’m currently in Thailand and trying to figure out how to stay longer—around 3 months or more.

I’d like to avoid land border runs (I really don’t trust those mini-vans 😅), but I’m trying to plan things out properly.

Here’s my situation so far:

- June 2 to July 10, 2024: I stayed in Thailand earlier this year (used the 45-day visa exemption + 30-day extension).

- December 9, 2024, to February 7, 2025: I’m currently here again (planning to use the 60-day visa exemption + 30-day extension).

I'm from Portugal, Europe..if that matters.

In February 2025, I’m thinking about leaving by plane for a week, go to China for a few days, and then flying back to Thailand.

My goal is to get another visa exemption for another 2-3 months.

I know it’s ultimately up to the immigration officer, but how strict are they considering the days I spent here the last year?

Would this work, or should I look into another solution?

I’m planning to get an DTV/ED in June 2025, so I just need to figure out how to handle my stays until then.

Thanks for any tips or experience you can share!

anyone here tried to use border bounce to cambodia ? any recommended agency? can we get 60 days for re-entry?
