When submitting bank statements. Are people blanking out the non related purchases etc. / editing them. Or submitting complete bank statements untouched?

Example. Blacking out non related transactions.

Question:

I am not sure what I will need or not need but here is the scenario.

USA Citizen

I was in Thailand from middle February to end of April.

I am coming back next Tuesday and plan to stay until Dec, 18th give or take.

I booked an onward flight to Cambodia in early October for a week with a return flight to Thailand until December with a exit flight to the USA

I know I get a 60-day tourist visa exempt upon arrival the first time. Will, what or should I get some kind of other visa for my stay?

I need some guidance here

Hello everyone,

I am coming to thailand on december 1st on a dtv visa, however the application is asking for a address and I haven't got my house yet because the agents I am speaking to are saying it is too early to reserve a house.

If I take an address in Bangkok (I am staying for one night before completing my travel to Hua Hin) can I just use that address for the visa application even if I will be there only one night?

Thanks in advance for the help!

I am currently applying for a DTV visa in Taiwan. However, my application was cancelled for the following reason:

"Your visa application has been cancelled. Wrong Personal Info: Country/Territory of Passport / TD does not match with passport."

I suspect this is because I entered “Consulate-General of Japan in Detroit” as the place of issue. My passport is Japanese, but it was issued in Detroit. I believe this might have caused the error. I am thinking of reapplying, but do you think it would be approved if I set the place of issue to “Japan” instead? Has anyone experienced a similar situation?

Hi everyone,

Has anyone encountered this message when applying for the DTV after uploading their passport scan?

“Biodata page of travel document – We are unable to retrieve data from the MRZ. Please enter your travel document’s biographic information manually.”

Does this mean my passport scan isn’t clear enough? I used a scanner, and it looks clear to me and has high definition even after zooming in so I wonder why it couldn’t read the information from it 🙏🏻

Good evening, dear expats in Thailand.

I’m seeking some advice regarding the Digital Nomad (DTV) visa. I’ve been living in Thailand for almost 11 years, but recently I canceled my work visa and switched back to a tourist visa.

I’m planning to apply for the DTV visa in September, but I’m not sure where I can submit the application, since I’m already in Thailand.

As a Filipino citizen, which country would be the easiest or most convenient for me to apply from? I also have a Thai bank account and plan to use it for the required bank statement.

Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

I am a US citizen, flying in from Europe. I want to stay in Thailand for 6-8 weeks starting month.

I know the visas keep changing.

Do US passport holders still get 60 days on entry or 30? How is it working these days? If it is 30 days how can I extend?

I was in Thailand from September 2024 to middle of January 2025. I’m not sure if that will be a problem. And i was there during covid.

Seeing if there is anything I should know before coming back next month (September)

**@everyone

⚠️ Bank Account Opening Misinformation ⚠️**

There has been a lot of confusion in this group, with some people claiming our agency cannot help retirees on a Tourist Visa or Exempt Entry open a bank account.

This is NOT correct. We regularly assist retirees with bank account openings in Thailand, provided they intend to apply for a Non-O visa. Also there is no need to leave the country for this process.

While some agencies may not offer this service, we do.

Currently, we offer this service only in Bangkok, and the process typically takes just 1–2 days.

If you are outside of Bangkok, you can make a short trip to the city to complete the process.
