Just a few Questions Regarding DTV Visa

Just spent 7 months out the last 12 Months in Thailand 😍 only been back a week and missing it 😂

I will be applying from the UK

1. Does the 500,000 Baht have to be in your bank account for 3 Months and show on your statements it’s been there for 3 months or Longer? Or can you make a transfer into your account before you submit the application?

2. Is the 500,000 Baht in your bank account checked on arrival in Thailand after being approved?

3. Been seeing and hearing you have to also show that 500,000 Baht on 90 Day Check In - Re entry After 180 Days

4. If I wasn’t to have the 500,000 baht in my account how does the sponsorship letter work?

Hi everyone, I need help with a DTV-related issue 🙏

My boyfriend is currently staying in Thailand on a DTV. He works remotely for a company based in Luxembourg, but he’s living in Thailand.

Recently, his passport with the DTV visa stamp got damaged in the washing machine 😭😭 — the visa page is now blurry and unreadable. He has another valid passport, and we’re planning to travel to Moscow next month.

He wants to come back to Thailand in September, but we’re unsure what to do now that the visa is unreadable.

❓ Has anyone dealt with a damaged DTV stamp before?

❓ Can he transfer the visa to the second passport, or does he need to apply for a new one?

❓ Should we go to Thai Immigration now before leaving Thailand? Or apply for a new DTV from Moscow or Luxembourg?

Any advice or experience would be really appreciated. Thank you!

Can someone please explain clearly what I have to do around day 90 about reporting?

Do I have to do it?

Is it online or in person?

What information do I have to provide?

And then what do I do at day 180 when flying in and out?

Thankyou 🙏🏼

Hi, I’m visiting Thailand from Australia and did an e-visa for 84 days (expires early October) but at the airport my stamp at the airport has an expiry date of 10 Sept and hand written notation saying evisa. Do I need to worry? Thanks

Hello,

I got my non o visa based on marriage on the thai e-visa website via London UK.

I’m so very happy about this and also grateful from all the feedback I have had from you all to help me.

Thank you to you all.

My visa says it’s valid from July 13th to October 10th 2025.

And it’s got me thinking.

I planned to return on September 25th 2025 at the end of my season for several months.

However I thinking of a quick trip earlier as I’ve mentioned in my previous posts I work in the tourism industry which is very slow in the UK with sales down this year.

Hence I have no work from July 30th to August 17th 2025.

And I have already booked flights to return at the end of the season to enter Thailand on September 25th 2025 to stay for 6-7 months.

Can I do the following as I don’t want to wait in London without work for 17 days from July 31st to mid August & I’d rather be with my wife.

Fly to Thailand entering on July 31st 2025 for 2 weeks of August.

Apply for my visa extension in those first 2 weeks of August.

Then fly back to the UK to work with a reentry permit.

And return to Thailand entering on September 25th 2025 for my long stay.

When do I have to season the 400,000baht in a thai bank account?

(I already have an SCB bank account now)

Is it on the day I plan to I arrive back August 31st?

Or should it be before that in my case?

Also an extra question after I arrive back on September 25th 2025 can I use another re-entry permit to visit my mother who has been unwell in Australia in mid October as it is her and my birthday then?

Is any of this possible?

Thank you so much 🙏

Hi all, I have submitted my application through an agent for approval in Hanoi. I submitted 3 months worth of bank statements, which although has a final balance of over 500,000, for the last 2 months, the first month is below that (about 430,000). Has anyone done something similar at Hanoi and been approved?

I'm being asked to send my original passport with FedEx to Thai Customs to clear my freight (our belongings to move here). I've already emailed a clear photo of the ID page and offered to get a certified copy (although not sure how here). They insist on original and will return within 3 days. Is it safe? Anyone done it?

Thank you 🙏🏼 greatly appreciate
