Is it possible for the remote work letter to be from a Thai company? And also is the proof of funds ok to be from a Thai bank account?

Immigration won’t accept my last 15 months of deposits to extend my married visa. They told me I need to get an affidavit of income verification by my embassy, which doesn’t do it anymore. I’ve never had a problem in previous years.

Now. I need to extend my married visa for two months so I can put ฿400,000 in the bank. Can I get an extension for 60 days at immigration or will I have to go to Laos. I haven’t had to do that since 2006.

Are there any immigration offices that accept the monthly deposits without getting the income verification from my embassy?

Hi! Has anyone successfully applied for the DTV visa as a freelancer or business owner from Jakarta, Indonesia? I’m curious about the financial requirements.. how many months of bank statements do they ask for?

It’d be great if you could share what documents you submitted. Thanks so much for your help!

I’m currently on a work visa here in Thailand that ends in March

Im looking to apply for a soft DTV.

Am I able to apply for the visa and then leave the country?

I have the funds in the bank but I’m wondering, What steps I would need to take so my application is successful, will I have an issue swapping from a work visa onto a DTV

Hello everyone,

I am planning to apply for a DTV visa for Thailand in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Here is the list of documents I have prepared in advance:

A recent passport photo (without a smile).

A clear passport scan.

Bank statment in English for the last six months.

Approval for managing an account in Englis.

A business license or notarized translation of the license, along with your business and personal details.

A signature confirmation for managing the business (notarized).

A copy of the main page of my site, with my website address included.

Four financial invoices translated into English.

A confirmed flight ticket.

**✅ hotel booking in vietnam

**

My Questions:

1. Should I submit everything online while I am in Vietnam, or do I need to visit the Thai Embassy in person?

2. Should I stay in Ho Chi Minh City and wait for the visa, or am I allowed to travel to other cities while it is being processed?

3. Will I receive the visa by email, or do I need to collect it physically?

4. Am I missing any documents, or is my preparation complete?

Thank you in advance for your help!

I am looking at thai life+health insurance policies with wide private hospital coverage and would like to hear comments on:

Is it commonly expected to pay the first full year premium up front? (I have always used employer offered plans before and they always started with monthy premiums.)

How common is it in plans for the insurer to have the discrepancy whether to require me to pay for an incident up front and then get reimbursement?

Maybe I've been reading things incorrectly, but it seems like on the evisa retirement non O, it was said you get 2 months on arrival, then can extend for 30 days, and then can extend for 1 year by getting the bank account etcetera.

We just arrived today with our non o retirement visa and both I and my mom were given 90 days right away

Too lazy to renew my retirement visa myself. Done it before in Hua Hin, always super smooth.

But moving back to Bangkok it's another cookie. Looking for an agent to do this for me and do the 90 days report aswell.

Any relaible and affordable agent in Bangkok?
