He's better off in Vietnam. He even doesn't know that Philippines has many foreign restaurants 😊. Clearly he is low budget guy.
Good to see you still uploading mate. Keep it up 👍
I was struggling with my professional portfolio for DTV Visa. I took help from Decade Technology Australia. See you soon Thailand 🇹🇭
Would this only be money deposited into our Thai bank accounts? I just ATM cash from my bank in the USA.
Wow, thank you Larry.
Great interview. Your guest was well spoken and it was easy and enjoyable to listen to the conversation. I appreciate the insight offered to all of the viewers. Thank you.
Lovely. Happy Mother's Day !
next time turn your phone around to get a good video
Bit short!
DTV visa equates to 19500 baht for 5 years plus any cost of visa runs and/or at least 5 immigration visits for extensions. Marriage or retirement visa equates to 9500 baht for 5 years and no visa runs required. Considering foreigners dread Thai Immigration, they should offer the 180 day visa extensions online.
Make no mistake: if you qualify and get it, this is unequivocally the best visa Thailand has ever released for foreigners. It's stunning.
Retired Working for You is a Total fraud. He is NOT retired and he is NOT working for anyone except himself. He's a bad person and a scam artist. Avoid this guy.
Retire working for you is a liar and a scammer JC you fool
Kneed to come I had stroke I am paralysed now thanks for the information please give the exact location and centre detail
Hello, Please check the emails. I can not access the "new" website "member's area. - I am a long-term member.
Very interesting points about Davao the heat and poverty so close
Come on guys he use he's freetime ,we can not aloud ourselves to be angry ,v loggers use freetime and can ofcaouse do mistakes jc have being giving us many good info If someone want to be sure then ask the embassy in your country,i want to know what after the 5 years can it then be renewt again, for another 5 years, how big income does they want we have ,or is it only the 500.000 ,or income, dont worry guys when my time comes i will ask thai embassy in my country, i think vloggers we use as some sort of a guide and as someone who love to give us news about dayli life in the country we love.
If you don't have the money don't come or just for 3-6 months easier!
Chris has interviewed officials before and the information has been wrong
You can also qualify for medical reasons
The video you reference is only interviewing a foreign affairs officer not an immigration officer….
This visa is only available outside Thailand, and that is why MFA is the correct place for the right information. They are deciding if you are eligible for this visa or not. In this case it is highly expected that the immigration officers will follow their lead.
@@sarlina1 I’ll believe it when I see it
@@jduncan48 And that is fully understandable 👍
Not so fast! These visa rules by the foreign affairs department will not be allowed by the immigration department to emasculate all the other visas and rules .
I really am amazed at this visa option. I use an agent to get my non O one year... So now... I don't pay an agent... and the agent does not send any money to immigration officers 5555. A lot of people on the take will be upset. Or... The visa will be canceled.. Soonish
Too much background noise, annoying.
Got mine on the basis of remote worker/digital nomad. Has a nice picture of myself on the e-visa; never had that before (normally I get non imm O e-visa on the basis of marriage to a Thai). You need to apply for it outside Thailand in your home country. In the UK its 11,000 UK pounds in your UK personal bank account (no need to show funds in Thailand). You can move the money in, wait for a bank statement, get your visa approved with the statement and then move the money back from where it came. ISA statements are not accepted so sell some investments and move money to your UK bank. I am expecting this visa to be very popular and expect it will get harder to get in time so best get your application in before its gone! Not sure on the 90 day reporting; as far as I am aware no need to report. Be aware you may need to prove you have sufficient funds if you go to immigration to try and extend for another 180 days; thus best to just do a border run. Hope this helps someone out there.
I think the part that's missing about the mirror is they drive on the right side, so the mirror is only necessary if the left because that's where traffic might approach from if they pass you. Just guessing, but that makes sense to me. Personally, I'd prefer mirror on both sides 😂
Still nobody knows because nobody has been in on DTV for six months yet. This officer in the mentioned video is reading the law as he thinks it is right but his boss can think otherwise. Maybe they just didn't notice the mistake they made.
MFA diplomats aren’t as dumb as you think (or as you are). This wasn’t a random officer but the Deputy Director of the consular division.
just paid this morning to apply for mine. oh boy!
You skipped over quickly a big requirement, you’ll need 500K baht in ANY Bank, your home bank, not a Thai Bank. fyi.
I watched an interview of the Thai Ministry of foreign affairs the deputy director general Ninnad said it’s any bank overseas or in Thailand doesn’t matter where …you just have to have it
I heard that the VISA is 10,000 baht plus an extension is not 1900 baht but 10,000 baht.
It can cost a lot more than 10,000 Baht depending in which country you apply. In Norway it’s 9800 Baht (3000NOK) and in Canada it’s 17,000 Baht (C$650).
@@aeroAdvocate you can apply online, would the price vary depending on where you live?
@@user-nj3os7hp1p No it varies based on the embassy you use. Even online, you are still applying to a particular embassy and there are rules on which embassy you have to use when applying online. As a Canadian, you could PHYSICALLY go to Vietnam and apply at the consulate in HCMC and pay roughly what it is supposed to cost without a massive surcharge, but I'd assume (check yourself to be sure though) that as a Canadian presently in Canada your only valid online option would be to apply with the Thai Royal Embassy or Consulate in Canada's website.
All extensions at Thai immigration offices are 1,900 baht.
The Thai Embassy in Ottawa and the Consulate in Vancouver are very picky and want detailed application documents. Friend of mine is currently stuck with them after applying and paying $650 for the DTV.
If it’s possible, I wish vloggers would always get information “from the horses mouth” before putting out any information. It’s not a race. We appreciate timely, but appreciate accurate more. Good video and glad this was cleared up. BTW, I have an LTR visa and it’s not expensive compared to the retirement or marriage visa when everything is considered. It’s a pay me now or pay me later situation including the multiple entries and hassles at immigration. 😊
To them it is a race. Vloggers have monetized channels, get paid by number of views and want to be the first to post a video on a topic so they will get more views.
@@rickyusa1000 It’s a matter of integrity. These videos can have significant impact and certainly one video like this to a relatively niche audience will not make or break a vlogger’s bank. If it does, then that is sad.
I still prefer my pensioner LTR. I believe DTV holders will still have to do 90 day reports, leave the country every 180 or 360, and may have to visit immigration for an extension. I don't want to do any of that. The cost difference between the LTR and DTV, if you factor in the cost of extensions and border runs is not significantly different. I hate the thought of border runs but if you travel a lot then a DTV could be a reasonable choice.
@@martypoll I love my pensioner LTR visa! I go back to the US to visit just enough that I don’t have to do ANY reporting. 😁
@@tvierra6358I made a trip to the US in June but I left 1 year + 2 weeks after my last entry into Thailand. I had to do a 1 year report. It wasn’t a problem but sometimes circumstances just add up.
Unfortunately, I don’t qualify for this highly restrictive visa. Cheers for those that do. 👍
What do you consider “highly restrictive” with this? It takes at max one day of work to deal with some formalities such as opening a business (sole proprietorship or LLC) or researching what cooking/muaythai school or hospital issue you a confirmation for services.
@@aeroAdvocate Oh my goodness, you are a genius! Thank you for sharing your insights! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
😘👏🏻❤️🙏
Vietnam safer, more organized, guns are illegal compared to the Philippines, food is healthier and more delicious, people are very happy in both, health care is better, life is 30-50% cheaper; much less drama than the Philippines which means it’s a safer environment, lifestyle is healthier, beautiful nature in both and dating is as easy in both. Vietnam wins.
