I applied last Wednesday. I got a visa today. The package of documents is minimal. All documents are color copies.

1) Application form

2) Photo

3) confirmation of stay in Cambodia - e-visa, stamp of entry, reservation of accommodation and e-receipt of payment for housing

4) bank statement, that my deposit balance is more than 500k baht

5) employment certificate

6) Notary translation from Russian into English Certificate of Legal Entity State Registration the company, I work for

7) a cover letter indicating the submitted list of documents and the transfer of money from rubles to baht and us dollars at the Google exchange rate on the day of submission.

Consular fee is $400. They accept ONLY new dollars, only hundreds, the old ones were not accepted.

Good luck to all those who apply!🍀

I am an American with a Thia girlfriend. I am interested in getting her a tourest visa. I contacted an agency he told me it was hard to get and a fiancé / marriage visa would be easier..

He wants $600 to help fill out paperwork and tell her what to say durring the interview.

This feels a lot like a scam I would aprecate any advice on the best path to take with this.

The next weeks i want to ask for the DTV as a Digital Nomad. Can i show my stock portfolio instead of my normal bank account? Do the Embassy except it? I don't want to park directly the money in my bank account because it do not work for me. The rest of the requirements i will fulfill. TIA

Hi all! I have a driver’s license from my home country but I do not have an IDP (I forgot to get one before I left). From my understanding, I would’ve needed to have it before I entered Thailand. I saw a few posts stating you can drive without an IDP. Can someone share your experience with driving in Thailand. Is there another option if you don’t have an IDP? Thanks for your help! 😀

Hi, I have a education visa. Do I need to do anything before I leave?

This is regarding what is the way to get the lowest cost of transferring from an non-Thai to Thai bank account:

Last night I paid Western Union INR 840,000 which gave me TBH 312,153 (INR 785,101) — that is a difference of INR 54,899 which is a cost of 6.54%.

My question is what method of transferring money into a Thai bank account costs equal to or less than 3%? 6.54% is high, isn’t it? What is the lowest percentage anyone has paid for transferring and what method did you use?

Conversion rate was taken from Google.

Thanks in advance.

Has anybody from the US applied for a DTV using their investment accounts?

# DTV Update: HCMC Approved!

I'm in HCMC right now and just picked up my DTV today.

Here's what I did to prepare:

- Scheduled my appt at the HCMC Thail consulate 3 weeks ahead of my trip

- Pre-filled the visa app from HCMC Thai consulate

- Printed out my American business license/LLC paperwork

- Printed out 2 client contracts with my American biz name/address shown (matched LLC paperwork)

- Printed out 6mos of bank statements with 500k+ baht showing for all 6 mos

- Printed out my HCMC hotel confirmation

- Had visa pics printed and ready

- Had precisely $340 USD in crisp bills

What they did when I arrived that you can do ahead of time:

- Had me glue my picture to my visa app

- Highlighted the ending bank account summary amount for each month

What issue I ran into:

- One of my USD bills had a tiny bit of ink on it - they asked me to exchange it for a "clean" one. I popped over to a currency converter shop and exchanged it, and was able to get back in line without an appointment.

Visa approval + pickup

- They processed all the paperwork with the "clean" bills in 5 minutes and gave me a slip to pick up my passport with the new DTV in 48 hours. (This means you're officially "approved")

- Two days later, I returned the slip and instantly picked up my passport, which included DTV.

*NOTE: The HCMC Thai Consulate visa center is a tiny container office outside.*

I hope this helps!

Hello, my boyfriend is planning to apply for the dtv. I’m wondering if his dad could be his sponsor and he shows his bank statements or he needs to have 500k in his bank account.

Thanks in advance

Hi there. My husband is applying for DTV and I’m applying as spouse. Just a quick question, on the E-visa forms, it says on my application to attach his DTV visa but he doesn’t have it yet so I can’t attach it. Any ideas? Will a copy of his passport do? Any help, much appreciated. Thank you!
