Hello all,

I met with an agent from Siam legal about dtv visas in March, she told us only ONE of us had to show 500,000baht for three months. We followed her advice. I got my dtv yesterday, and we are leaving for 5 years on November 28th so only two months left. My wife has the money however not her account. We can put it in now but it won't be three months. We won't have a home in Canada after the 28th of november. Can she come in on a exempt visa and change for a dtv while in thailand?

Question for those who have done the first 90 day reporting recently, like within the past month. Do you need to provide bank statement? I know this was not a requirement before but with recent banking issues, I have to ask.

Bank of Ayudhaya i have tried to pay someone in five different ways to an account there over the last 10 days and even when the payee has presented the reference numbers and copies of the payments they have been sent to the bank have still denied they have receiving them. Wise,Revolut Remitly and WU returned as wrong details "they are correct and confirmed" direct bank transfer they deny they have received even though i have proof they have. The account being paid into has been confirmed as working and unrestricted by the bank itself. Total insanity.

I am aware that i have to pay the year in advance when i apply for the visa, however is there requirements on how much savings i should have in my account or am i fine as long as i pay for the entire year of schooling?

When on a 90 day non-immigrant O visa, my 400k will be in the bank 4 days after I arrive. (1 day delay as constitution day).

Is it absolutely fixed that I must wait 60 days for the money to mature before applying for the 12 month extension?

Anyone successfully applied for a DTV visa under Muay Thai with this gym: Elite Fight Club Bangkok successfully? Anyone done it in Indonesia (hoping to go to Bali or Yogyakarta)? How long did you wait? Its the same gym Agency Issa Compass has proposed but I'm just gonna do it myself to cut half of the expenses.

Thanks

Hi all , I have an account with Bangkok Bank but I have been out of Thailand for over a year . I’ve seen there have been issues with people having their accounts frozen, I’ve also read that it doesn’t affect people who are married to a Thai and have an address in Thailand both of which apply to me . Can anyone confirm this to be correct ?

I’ll soon be returning to Thailand but I’m not sure if I should transfer money from my UK account to Bangkok bank or not .

If they were to suspend my account would they give notice ?

I’ve logged into my account’s app and everything seems to be ok at present .

Any advice would be welcome . Thanks .

Hey everyone,

I applied for the DTV visa in Kuala Lumpur on September 3rd. It’s been 3 weeks now and I haven’t received any updates yet. Two days after I applied, they requested some additional documents, which I uploaded the same day.

Should I be worried, or is this kind of waiting time normal?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience!
