Hi All,

the only remaining thing for me is uploading the 3 statements as proof of funds. Questions:

1) shall I merge 3 bank statements in 1 PDF? (will it exceed the upload limit?)

2)Should I rather send only the first page of each (name/address/total in&out for the month)? But then no transaction is shown...

3)I transferred the funds from an instant access savings account to my current account more than a month ago (also another 500k to my spouse who will apply later once I'm approved). So perhaps, on top of the 3 last statements should I upload a couple of statements from the savings account too? the 500£ had been in there since Oct 2024.

Would all fit in? or too heavy?

I just extended my 60 day tourist visa which will expire on Sept 11. Is it possible to apply for and get a retirement visa through an agent before then?

I want to move to Nong Khai, Thailand with a DTV, using the medical treatment - soft power option. It has very been difficult to get good information. I've contacted the hospital in Nong Khai but is there a better first step?

If I apply for a DTV Muay Thai visa, does the gym I apply with matters? Shall it be « DTV certified » or could I apply with the gym I like?

Is it easier to be granted the Muay thai or Cooking DTV? Which one is more expensive?

I was planning on getting the Muay Thai DTV, but the cost would be 49k bahts (Muay thai class) + 350$ (application fee) which I find expensive

good morning all,

is it true that today (aug11th), and tomorrow (aug 12th) is a holiday so our applications wont be reviewed until wednesday? would it matter if i submit it today vs wednesday? (i have a few things that need to be done so just wondering if there would be any difference)

Hi, has anyone on a DTV soft power visa been asked to show proof of ongoing classes when reentering after the 6 month period? And how did you handle the situation if yes. Thanks!

Hi, I'm applying for Non-O Visa and would like to know how to fill out the online application properly ! My goal is to apply for Non OX Visa ; yet me without a bank account in Thailand, the Thai embassy in France suggests me to enter with Non-O, get a rental, open a bank account, and then switch to Non-OX in Thailand.

I intend to stay in Thailand for 90 days to make sure I can receive Non-OX. Before finding a rental, I plan to stay at a hotel for the first 7 days of my stay........

Is it alright if I only answer 7 days for the hotel accommodation in my Non-O application, without answering where to stay for the rest of 83 days ?? 🤔

if not, what is your advice ?? 🤔

Again, I will find a rental in Thailand as soon as I arrive ; but at this moment I just have no idea where it will be........Million thanks ! 🙏🙏

Hi everyone,

I’ve been digging into the latest updates on visas for Thailand, especially around DTV and retirement options. Some of the changes seem small on paper but could make a big difference for those of us planning longer stays. Curious if anyone here has gone through the process recently and noticed anything new or unexpected?

On a side note, while sorting out my long-term plans here, I’ve also been keeping an eye on the US stock market. With all the swings lately, it’s been tricky deciding whether to hold or move things around. Feels like the same kind of patience and timing we need for visa applications.

Would love to hear your experiences
