For DTV in Vientiane Laos, if you have the 500 000 bath only since 1 month it is ok ?

Did anyone get approuved ?

Quick question for any UK expat who are receiving state pension in Thailand, is it correct if you ask the UK state pension department to send your pension direct to a Thai bank account, you will lose any uplifts to the UK state pensions in the future.

Hi everyone,

I'm from Philippines and am planning to be in Thailand as a domestic helper because I had hired my employer start 20th January 2025 and i would like to ask, if it's possible to do work as legal process?

Please come with other ideas, that could give us a better journey for my first visiting in Thailand. Anyone that can assist me can DM for more informations about Thailand.

Thank you much for your advise.

Received DTV successfully within 3 working days in Jakarta. No long queue. Happy Dance 🎉

I submitted a personal bank statement, company bank statement, company registration and company letter describing my business.

Note that applications are only accepted between 9am to 11am, Mon to Thurs. If you come in the afternoon, you will be turned away.

Should I apply for retirement visa before going or after I get there?

U.S. vet here. Does my full-coverage VA healthcare benefits meet the “requirement” for health insurance if I retire in Thailand? If so, how easy or nightmarish is it navigating healthcare thru the VA in Thailand?

Apologies if this question has been asked many times.

I have family arriving from UK, they will travelling direct from Bangkok airport to Hua Hin and will be staying in my home for 2 weeks before returning to Bangkok hotel and return flight.

Do they need to file a TM30 at immigration

TIA

What changes to people expect the new Thai Government to make with regards to retirement visas? What are the rumors?

When applying for multi-entry visa via thaievisa.go.th I see a message: ""If you are applying for Multiple Entries, you need to prove that you have a genuine reason to visit Thailand on a regular basis."

^Is simply traveling in and out of the country for leisure is not genuine enough reason to get METV? If not, can someone please give an example what could be those reasons, and what proof they may require? I've applied for METV before (before Thai E-Visa) and no one asked me for any reasons or proof. So I wonder if this is just a disclaimer, or someone is actually asking for it?
