    More details will surely come, step by step, as individual parts of the announced changes are being implemented gradually, most likely in the form of publication in the Royal Gazette. Patience is required on our part.
  2. Maestro
    Some announcements have indicated that not all changes will be made immediately. VOA and visa-exemption apparently on 1 June 2024, some others on 1 September, some at the start of next year or even later,
  3. Maestro
    Good additional information. With the big increase in the number of countries qualifying, this will be even more useful.

    I believe the DTV is not intended for "nomads" (travellers) in general but for "digital nomads, ie foreigners who travel to Thailand in order to work from Thailand "digitally", ie remotely with electronic devices.

    @sirhowie In what district of Udon Thani do you live?
  6. Maestro
    The requirements vary greatly from on district office to the next. For this reason, your information is unlikely to help the OP, unless your experience was recent and with the unamed district office in Udon Thani province where the OP lives.

    This topic is exclusively about the reduction in the number of non-immigrant visa types. Off-topic posts and the replies to them have been removed and will continue to be removed without additional notice.

    This makes discussion of the LTR off topic in this topic.
  9. Maestro
    I see absolutely nothing in the information that has become available so far to indicate that anything of your guess is intended for the DTV.

    My last tourist visa was in 2011 and was marked TR. Therefore, it must have been TR = tourist visa TR-30 = visa exemption 30 days and new TR-60 = visa exemption 60 days Correction: The visa exemption arrival stamp in the passport was not TR-30. It was an illegible hand-written scribble of two Thai characters representing the first character of the two Thai words for visa exemption.

    This topic seems to have run its course. The OP has been given extensive information by many members to fully answer his questions.

    From the second post in this topic: "...You need to have financial proof of at least 500,000 baht throughout your stay in Thailand..."
  13. Maestro
    The visa costs THB 10,000 for an unlimited number of entries for five years. Upon each entry, the visa holder will get permission to stay for 180 days and this can be extended once per entry for THB 1,900. I see no other way to read the announcement as it stands at the moment.
  14. Maestro
    If with "10,000 Baht filing fee" you mean the fee for the 180-day extension, I see nothing in the official announcement to suggest that this will be the case.
  15. Maestro
    The way I read it, it is a 180-day extension once per entry. However, unlike BritManToo I don't see it as an alternative to retirement unless retirement is added to the list of activities that qualify for the visa.
  16. Maestro
    I do not wish to speculate about the need for proof of income, but I see from the criteria that the visa will be limited to people with specific activities and there will likely be a need of proof about that.
  17. Maestro
    I haven't seen anything official suggesting that the extension fee will not be the regular THB 1,900 and no convincing argument from the members who assume that it will be 10k.

    Another self-invented attempt at romanisation of Thai. Another shade of gibberish. Everybody, please go and post in the Thai language Forum if you want to dabble in this.
  21. Maestro
    Suggestion: don't attempt to write Thai words and expressions you hear using your own invented version of romanisation. It comes across as incomprehensible gibberish.
  22. Maestro
    You don't need an ED visa (education visa) to study Thai. Stay with the plan of the non-O visa (non-immigrant visa) for retirement. Once you have your Thai bank account with at least 800k Baht in it, you can apply at your local immigration office for it. This will give you permission to stay for 90 days and then you can apply for one-year extensions of stay.
  23. Maestro
    There has been no mention of that in the news reports and the cabinet resolution.
  24. Maestro
    I wonder what it looks like on your Xiaomi phones. Please go to to https://aseannow.com/forum/19-forum-support-desk/ , scroll to the bottom of the page, take a screenshot and post it here.

    Go with your wife to your local district office and ask them what they need. Not all district offices handle it the same way.
