Hey guys,

I’ve applied for DTV London.

Submitted all docs but now requesting an E ticket with my flights which I haven’t booked yet as want to wait for the approval. Has anyone else experienced this from London?

Any advice would be much appreciated 😊 applying for workation btw. Thank you

I have been on a Non OA retirement visa for many years using the 65k per month option rather than putting 800k into my account. I would like to change to a Non O retirement visa and have over 12 months of history to show 65k per month from foreign source to my Thai bank. Can I apply for Non O using 65k per month or do I have to deposit 800k?

Hi all. What are the rules about your banked money (400k) when you apply for extension based on married to a thai person? Does the money have to stay in the account all year from my last extension?

Thank you all members on this group for the helpful information. I just got my DTV softpower Visa! 🍀

I was many times in Thailand, try to stay in Thailand without a visa up to 6 month, but last time they took me out to explain me that I need a good visa. So after I fly to my homecountry Austria i contact the Thai embassy in Vienna via email for more information about the DTV and the 500.000Thb, they want to see. They told me, they also except online bank account statements (English!) from Revolut, but the money have to stay minimum 3 month! I ask if a saving account on revolut also ok, but never get answer 🤣 so I transfer all my money to my revolut main account, hold in around 14000€, and use this account all the time for spending in Supermarkt, shopping in Austria 🇦🇹 I think it’s also a proof that you stay in Austria while you apply, because I heard the embassy in Vienna, that they like to invite you for a interview. And when you live far away it’s not easy to take time and go there. So I was lucky- no interview!

Here are the facts:

September 12> my agent in 🇹🇭 check and apply all the documents for me (cost me 5500THB) including the papers from MuayThaiCourse 6Month/2Class (28000THB)

Meanwhile I was working and waiting in Austria and was shocked that I got this message:👇

September 17th> Nachforderung:

- A cover letter explaining your current profession and how it aligns with the DTV requirements-

So I just wrote some letter, explaining my job, my company, my income and ask my boss for a extra confirmation that I am able to go to Thailand long time and I am able to work again in the future whenever I want because him have many company’s so it’s easy to quit and start again. All this I send in English and wait until yesterday evening (25.9) to get My DTV! ✅

… so it took me 13days including weekends. Some nights I was not able to sleep, because I was thinking they not want to give me the visa for some reason, because many people book the MuayThai school, but never go. I payed a lot so I also want to use. Anyway I need more sport activities! 🤣 I am happy that everything is done, I think it will be harder in the future to get this kind of Visa.

Wish you all good luck

Hi People, my bank account is frozen 4 months after getting a DTV visa. Any way to unfreeze it or open a new one? Has anyone had a success?

UPDATE: they said impossible to keep for DTV visa and need to close.

Hello all, next month I will be renewing my Thai retirement visa (non-imm type O) for the 3rd time. Regarding the Thai Immigration Dept requirement for proof of 800k baht, previously I had my bank (Bangkok Bank) print a copy of my passbook, stamp and then sign the documents the morning of, so that I could then submit along with my other documents. Well, Bangkok Bank recently informed me they no longer sign and stamp such documents. I asked them to do anyway, willing to pay. Nope! They informed me there is some new understanding between the Immigration Department and themselves that such authentication is no longer necessary. I’m a bit skeptical and would appreciate any feedback on this matter. Thank you.

Has anyone recently applied for DTV from Pnom phen, Cambodia? What's the situation?

I might be another person with there account shut down, any one else that had there bank account shut down get this error when trying to scan for purchases?

Hi everyone, I just got my DTV visa approved with Soft Power (cooking school). I got the approval while I am currently staying in Thailand with tourist visa exemption (90days). I know this is not the best practice, but I had to do that for family emergency reasons.

I guess I will just have to do a border run to activate the DTV. Looking for people who did that and were not having problems! 😂 Hope everything will go smoothly 🙏 thanks

Hi all,

Please, help if you know the answer.

I applied non-b e-visa through the Thai embassy in Hanoi, Vietnam.

Once approved, can I fly to Thailand from anywhere? Or does it strictly need to be from Hanoi?

Thank you for your help!
