My bank just told me they cant give me monthly statements in English. However, they can give me a report of the current amount of money on my account in English. So I was thinking of asking them to give me one at the end of September, another one at the end of October and another one at the end of November. I plan to apply in early December. Do you think the Vientiane embassy will accept this?

Hi all, from my research here I believe the DTV visa once approved gets activated in 2 ways -

1. You receive ur approved DTV e-visa via e-mail. Carrying this document you fly in to Thailand show this e-visa along with the regular docs TDAC and they will stamp us with the DTV 5 year?

2. You submit your passport to a Thai embassy outside the country and once approved get it stamped there too ??

I’m very confused how option 2 works.

Does it still require approved DTV e-visa via email prior to that ? I see in posts people say they submitted their passport at the embassy and received it back in a few days with the DTV stamp?

I opened my SCB bank account today but unlike Kasikorn bank , SCB has not given me. Bank passbook. They said all my banking has to be done by my passport. Is this a normal policy with SCB ? Maybe an account thing ? It's a savings account with them. Thanks

I need some 'what kind of visa' advice from you for my current situation. Would be great to understand what is feasible and/or possible for myself and what you guys recommend:

- I live in Germany

- 50years old

- ready to step down from a well paid job and live from my savings for rest of my life

- own a Condo since 12years in Jomtien Beach

- have a Thai bank account

- travelled past 25yrs minimum 80x to Thailand all on 30/60 days stamps. Meaning 3-6times per year in average

- 4 stamps in my passport for 2025 so far btw...

- never extended or have any legal issues

- can provide any home financial requirements (leave my Thai bank account with necessary savings for spendings only)

- have spent money (ETF saving plan) which pays me 5.5k Euro/month for next 8years

- have a health precondition which excludes it probably from most insurances

- I spend 6months abroad from Germany with heavy travelling in and outside Thailand

What I am looking for is a visa which relieves me from checking or applying any trips in/out from Thailand most of the time. Meaning I love to travel and go to Lao, Vietnam, Cambodia etc. many times as well. So multiple entries etc. would be required.

Now I see there is DTV, LTR and other options but can't really figure out what makes sense while I don't really see a point for the Thailand privileged cards.

Health insurance I do currently for long termed travel insurance which only covers in serious situations and is better than nothing.

So for it's more health issues rather than financial aspects...

Hello I got a Short question and i‘m thankfull for your response.

I received this email today. I had applied on August 6, and later submitted the additional documents requested on August 14. Today, I had my interview at the embassy, where I was told to wait for one week. However, when I got home and checked my email, I was surprised to find this message.

Could you please guide me on the next steps? Do I need to visit the embassy again to have the visa sticker placed on my passport, or is this email sufficient? Also, should I keep this document with me for the next five years?

So I am heading to Bali. I will apply there online. I suck at technology. Anyone recently applied from Bali? I read that I dont have to be in Jakarta I can from Bali.

My wife and I are applying for a DTV visa in Colombo, the embassy emailed within hours to request a PDF of all passport pages <3MB. The software I used cut some the pages, and my only noticed after she submitted. There is no way to edit the file on the portal or submit additional info. She emailed (even though it says no reply, it's not a noreply email) with the full file. They don't answer the phone. Will they request the file again or is there anything else we can do? The embassy is close by, so we could go in?

Has anyone here already made their every-3-months report? Would love to here about their experience and how it works. Thank you in advance!!
