Hi, I have a question regarding the proof of 500,000 THB.

I have read several times that the funds must be held in a private account.

I also saw information stating that if the account is officially a personal/private account in the applicant’s name, it is acceptable for the DTV Visa, even if customer payments are received on that account.

Is this correct?

My husband has two sole proprietorships, and the income from one of them is paid into his personal account. Could this be a problem?

As an alternative, would bank statements from Trade Republic also be accepted?

Thank you in advance for your feedback. :)

I have submitted an E-Visa application for a retired 90 day, Non-O, single entry visa through the NYC Thai Consulate. It is currently pending approval as of November 5. How long does it take to receive an approval (or denial) from the Consulate?? I have rented a condo the past 2 years. I am leaving 11-25…hopefully

Thanks

What's up with BBL now?

I have been out of Thailand for over a year now but I have maintained my BBL account with a balance of

<฿100. I have not been able to use my Mobile banking account app for at least 15 months. There was an update to the app and whenever I attempted to use the app I was forced to install the update before using it. I was required to visit my Bangkok Bank to accomplish that. I was not willing to do so for my small balance.

Today, there was a new Play Store update of the app. AND LO AND BEHOLD I AM NOW ABLE TO FULLY USE THE APP AGAIN.

Bangkok Bank has actually made something easier!

Hi. I'm retired this year and would like to stay in Thailand. I want to make a combination of 9 months Thailand and 3 months Belgium to see my kids. June, July and August I would be gone. I can prove I have 65.000 Baht every month but I not have the 800K to put in a bank. What kind of visum should I ask?

Thanks, Mario Belgium

I unlocked advanced features of TrueMoney using my DTV, so I can make personal QR code payments. Does anyone know if there’s a limit on the number of free payments each month?

Statement Question;

I have a Mercury business account and stripe, of which most of the money I spend day to day is in here. Can this be used as the ‘6 month of statements’?

Secondly, is the best place to do it via Vietnam. I’m currently in 🇨🇳

Would be great to connect with someone who’s done it before

Hi guys, in terms of the 500k and proof of funds.

Is it safe to give them a statement complete with the Account number, IBAN number etc.

Especially in light of all the frauds and scams going around these days.

Also, do they require a PDF document or will a scanned photo of a paper statement do them?

Thanks
