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 got Everything for the Visa and I ve sended the bankstatments in german , now they asking me for a english translation .

Am I allowed to translate it with Programm or do I have to hier someone to do it ?

Thanks for your help 🙏🏼😊

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!!

TM47 90 day question: What is the appropriate date range before your current expiration date to file digitally?

My partner is a financial advisor and is asking what exactly should he present as a proof of his work. Should he make a detailed description of the services he offer? How detailed? Woth some printscreens? We plan to apply for DTV in Vientiane in December.

Quick location question;

Which counter is for the TR visa extension of 30 days, and where is it currently located? I remember it moving around some.

Appreciate the help! Thanks!
