- Mixing consular processing steps with in-country filing steps.
- Missing signatures or using the wrong filing method.
- Uploading unclear scans or omitting supporting documents.
- Using outdated instructions instead of the latest official guidance.

The questions readers ask most about applying to live, work, study, and visit Thailand
The DTV is a 5-year multi-entry visa launched in July 2024 for three categories: digital nomads / remote workers (with proof of overseas employment), Thai-soft-power participants (Muay Thai students, Thai cooking trainees, sports training), and dependants of the above. Each entry allows up to 180 days, extendable for another 180 days at Immigration. Applicants must show 500,000 THB in available funds.
The Long-Term Resident visa is a 10-year multi-entry visa launched in 2022 for four categories: Wealthy Global Citizens (US$1M+ assets, US$80,000+ income), Wealthy Pensioners (age 50+, US$80,000+ pension/income), Work-from-Thailand Professionals (US$80,000+ income, top-500 employer), and Highly-Skilled Professionals (US$80,000+ income in targeted industries). The LTR offers a 17% personal income-tax cap on Thai-source income for the wealthy-pensioner category and waives 90-day reporting.
Yes — for almost every type of work, including digital-nomad activities sometimes interpreted as "work in Thailand." The Non-Immigrant B visa entitles you to apply for a Work Permit at the Ministry of Labour; the LTR visa includes a Work Permit for the highly-skilled and work-from-Thailand categories. Working without a Work Permit can lead to a fine, deportation, and a multi-year ban.
Foreigners staying continuously in Thailand for more than 90 days must report their address to Immigration every 90 days. This can be done online for many visa categories, by post, or in person at the local Immigration office. Missing a 90-day report attracts a THB 2,000 fine and complicates renewals.
TM30 is the obligation on the property owner or host to report a foreign tenant's presence to the local Immigration office within 24 hours of arrival. Long-stay foreigners often need TM30 acknowledgements when filing 90-day reports, extensions, or new visa applications. Hotels typically file TM30 automatically; private rentals require the landlord to file (or empower the tenant to file).
