Hi everyone, I’m have a hard time tracking down information on visa’s and my situation. I am disabled and I am from the USA. I would like to stay in Thailand possibly permanently but as of right now I’m either looking at an education visa or the DTV. The immigration office I went to wasn’t much help. I think the language barrier was a bit of a problem for us.

Any how I’m a bit concerned with take the education route because I have various learning disabilities and I’m concerned I wouldn’t be able to keep up with the learning. So I started looking in to DTV seeing I have a non taxable income. However it looks as though you have to be a content creator or have some type of job. I am an artist but I don’t really sell my art.

Is the DTV right for me even though I have an income but not working? I’m technically retired but I don’t fit the requirements for the retirement visa based solely on age. I’m 3 years short. Can anyone offer any guidance on this? Thank you in advance 😊🙏

Happy 66th Birthday to The Legend ...

Hi there,

I am applying for the DTV visa. I’m working for 2 different foreign companies.

Which employment contract should I include in the application? One of them or both?

Thank you so much,

Marco

Hi guys.

Any feedback on Huay Xai border crossing?

Coming from Laos to Thailand, anyone been denied entry from this checkpoint? * European passport

I am not doing a border run, I’ve been out of Thailand for 6 weeks. My last stay was 60 days left for a week and then 20 days. And I also stayed one month in April, so 3 visits in the last year.

Has anyone tried to contact the embassy in Hanoi?

Are they closed all week or only on Wednesday as stated on Google?

I am after a bit of info if anyone knows. I am trying to bring my Thai partner to Perth for a Visit on a Subclass 600 visa. We went through an agent in Buriram. But that was refused so can I lodge another one. Then I got advised to go to the VFS Global Application Centre in Bangkok and they help you fill out the forms and Lodge it there and then. Is that correct? I am a bit confused.

My landlord failed to file a TM30 when I moved into his condo. He’s scrambling now to file it 30 days after the fact. In the past I’ve never needed the TM30 while extending my visa but now I hear rumblings that it’s impossible to extend without one. Is that true? I’ll be going to the IT square facility.

Hi all, one more visa advice. I'm looking for a visa agent in Koh Samui for my mom getting a retirement visa. Thank you in advance for your help.

My girlfriend and me are applying for tourist E-Visa online. We live together for 25 years. But for my girlfriend, the officer is requesting the Domestic partnership certificate. (please check the screenshot in attachment)

But we do not have this document, because:

In Slovenia, cohabiting couples are equal in rights and obligations to married couples.EXAMPLE:A couple that has been living together for several years, is emotionally attached as lovers, shares finances, but hadn’t got married, will be considered living in a cohabitation partnership.

We live in Slovenia and would like to go to Thailand from 4th February till 17th March (40 days). For Slovenian citizens, we need visa if we stay more than 30 days.

What can I do?

Please help, thank you!

Hello wise group. I have a query about renewal.

I have exited and reentered in the first 180 days of my DTV visa. If i continue to exit and re-enter within 180 days, do I also need to renew? Do I do this manually and pay additional fees or does the visa continue until 5 years is complete, with no additional fees or requirements?

I saw this online and it's confused me a little.

TIA!

You can extend your DTV once per visit for an additional 180 days.

* To extend your DTV, you must apply at the immigration headquarters in Bangkok and pay an extension fee.

* The extension fee is either the same as the original visa fee (10,000 THB) or the usual Thai visa extension fee (1,900 THB)
