TM30 (Notification of stay) done by yourself.
Liquorice replied to Ook's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Copy of Passport data page. That could pose a problem online. Copy of house book for your residence and Chanute may be required, along with owner's ID card. -
As an Austrian citizen using the income method, you would obtain an Embassy Income letter. The financial criterial are; 327-2557 (2014) - Criteria for extension ENG.pdf Section 2.18 (6) In the case of marriage to a Thai woman, the alien husband must earn an average annual income of no less than Baht 40,000 per month or must have no less than Baht 400,000 in a bank account in Thailand for the past two months to cover expenses for one year

Are you a digital nomad or wanting to study? I note a lot of expat retirees and those with Thai spouses are commenting, thinking this new visa may circumvent their existing conditions of staying in Thailand. This visa is not aimed at that group, nor will it, or does it, affect the way you currently apply, either in the form of 1 year extensions of your period of stay, or Non Imm O visas.

Nope, and it's not nitpicking or semantics. The validity of a visa is the period during which you can enter Thailand. The period of stay is granted by Immigration on arrival, subject to the type of visa. You can extend these periods of stay at local Immigration offices, which are 'permits', not visas. A single entry visa is 'used' on entry. A multiple entry visa expires on the 'enter before' date. If you don't understand the difference between the validity of a visa and the periods of stay, then you won't understand how this new DTV will work.

You file the TM30, and they give you the tear of portion as a receipt, which you should staple in the back of your passport. TM30-Notification of alien residence.pdf -

Assuming you're now arranging to transfer 40K + per month via Wise to meet the requirement for a 1-year extension based on Thai spouse next year. -
Marriage Visa Renewal with vfsevisa
Liquorice replied to kakopappa's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
As @brianthainess points out, section 2.24 is only for an application to extend your stay for 60 days to visit Thai spouse. 1 year extension applications based on Thai spouse are covered by section 2.18 of Immigration orders, which aren't listed by the VFS. -

Having read it again, I'll stand corrected, it is only for a 60 day extension. -

Yes it is. Section 2.24 is for a 1-year extension based on Thai spouse/family. -

There is no such visa type. You originally had a Non Immigrant O visa (expired) which granted a period of stay of 90 days. Each year you then apply to extend that period of stay for 365 days, a permit, not a visa. The service offered by the vfs is no more than a document checking service, and their list of documentation appears incomplete for an extension of stay based on Thai spouse. You still have to visit your local Immigration office for the extension stamp. -

Yes, your wife must attend. Completed TM7. Passport photo 4x6cm. Copy of passport Bio page. Copy of current visa. Copy of last entry stamp. Wife Tabien Baan + copy Wife ID card + copy Copy of TM30 receipt. Marriage certificate + copy. Is this income from Thailand or overseas? -
Big Thailand visa changes from June 1
Liquorice replied to snoop1130's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Visa validity is the period during which a visa can be used to enter Thailand. On entry your granted a period of stay subject to the type of entry. The stamp is a permit notifying your permitted period of stay. -
Residence certificate requirements?
Liquorice replied to JTXR's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
No, but you need to file a new TM30 at CW notifying your new residential address.. -
Residence certificate requirements?

1 yellow house book = multiple COR's. -
That just doesn't make any sense at all, though. Visa validity 5 years, multi entry. If each entry permitted a stay of 180 days, then with border runs you could stay for the full 5 years, so what would be the point of a one time 180 day extension? And on offer for just 10K, it would undermine the LTR and O-X visa types. We have to bear in mind the purpose of this new visa type. Mr. Chai Watcharong, spokesman for the Prime Minister's Office, stated; "Add a new type of visa, Destination Thailand Visa (DTV), for foreigners who have skills and work remotely through the digital system (remote worker or digital nomad) who wish to Will be staying in Thailand to work and travel at the same time, with employers and customers abroad It is also a destination for foreigners who want to do cultural activities and use medical services. However, Thailand does not yet have a visa that supports this group of foreigners. This is a group of people who have the potential and will be beneficial to the development of the country." The key wording 'to work and travel at the same time, with employers and customers abroad'. That suggests the visa will allow unlimited entries, but with a limit of staying in Thailand for only 180 days per year. The one time 180 day extension then makes much more sense. Of course, we could be both total incorrect, when the full details are revealed.

That is how other Thai media outlets are also viewing it. Best to wait for further details than speculate. Let's not forget the new DTV is aimed at digital nomads, remote workers, freelancers, as well as those interested in learning Muay Thai and Thai cuisine," If you're retired or have Thai spouse/family, it changes nothing.
