Hello, I am still looking to find a branch location to open up a bank account on a DTV so far everywhere I’ve gone tells me it’s not possible unless I speak to an agent who wants so much money to do it. Has anybody had any success recently?

Hi there! For the DTV visa regarding the 500k baht requirement, does it work if this money is split between multiple bank accounts, as long as they are all under your name?

Doesn’t want to do international transfers and lose commission money in the process just to have all in once place. Unless it’s absolutely necessary

Will be applying from the Taipei embassy for reference

Hello, today I’m applying for DTV. I’m in Bali now and will apply online via the Thai Embassy in Jakarta.

For intended stay in Thailand, is it okay if I choose 6 months?

Also, do I really need to book long term accomodation? Is a 1 week hotel booking enough? I’ll move to another place later anyway.

Do I also need a return ticket?

Thanks in advance!

Has anyone done a Non O Retirement visa from Hong Kong? Kindly share the details please and how long it took. Thank you.

For the online extension the online approval of address says to apply on 7 August.

The email reminder says to apply “on or before”

So which is it ? Apply on the 7th or apply before the 7th?

Good morning!

I just apply for a METV-multiple entry visa. There is only one upload for the flight leaving the country. Is it the flight (Saigon for me) within the 2 month first stay or the last trip back to my homecountry after 5 and 1/2 month?

It's the embassy in Vienna, it is difficult to ask per phone.

Thank you!

My aunt is on an Alaskan cruise and my wife (Thai) is absolutely fascinated by the pictures. Anyone done a cruise out of bkk? Not a river cruise or an evening events- a multi day proper cruise.

Can i rent a condo on a 90 day tourist Visa or do i need a longer visa like the ED Visa? I wanna get a feel for Bangkok first before committing.

I applied for the non OA visa through the New York consulate on July 6, and it's still being processed. My flight is in about 8 days. Should I be concerned?

Hi everyone! Question for fellow DTV visa holders in Thailand 🇹🇭

How are you handling money and daily payments?

Since we can’t open Thai bank accounts (as far as I know), and ATM withdrawals from foreign cards can get expensive, I’m curious what solutions you’ve found for spending, paying locally, or moving money around.

I'm planning to move from Bali in 2–3 months, so I’m trying to get a clear picture of what’s working well for others.

Would also love to hear about any other challenges you’ve faced with the DTV visa... or smart solutions you’ve figured out since arriving.

Appreciate any feedback. Thanks a lot! 🙏
