Hi everyone,

May I kindly ask for your advice — if I am already in Thailand, am I still eligible to submit a DTV (Destination Thailand Visa) application from here? Or must the application be submitted from outside the country?

Thank you in advance for your guidance!

About the financial proof,

1) I'm having the amount of 500,000 Baht split into 2 different bank acc (Hong Kong and Thai bank). Would the split reduce my chances of approval.

2) Also the amount on my HK bank statements are in HKD. I suppose I'd better convert them with a separate doc for better understanding for the officers, right?

(For Hanoi)

Thank you!

Hi everyone! 👋

I’ve been reading through some posts here and I have a few visa questions I hope someone can help with:

For the DTV (Digital Nomad) visa — is it allowed to sell products online while living in Thailand? Some people say it’s not allowed to work or sell, others say it’s okay as long as your income comes from outside Thailand. Which is correct?

For the Non-O Retirement visa — if I apply by myself (not using an agent), is the chance of rejection high?

Thanks so much in advance for sharing your experience or advice! 🙏

Advice everyone!

I am Japanese.

I want to apply for a DTV visa now.

Bank balance 3 months? Six months? Can't apply for more than 500,000 baht forever?

Tell me who succeeded.

Prove your balance of 500,000 baht can be done immediately

Yes, but do I have to put it in the bankbook now?

I want to apply for a DTV visa soon, so I'm also thinking if I can apply in Hanoi, Vietnam.

Waiting for your advice🥺

-------------

皆さんアドバイスを下さい!

私は日本人です。

これからDTVビザを申請したいと思っている。

銀行の残高は3ヶ月?6ヶ月?ずっと50万バーツ以上ないと申請できない?

成功した方教えて下さい。

残高が50万バーツあることの証明ならすぐにでき

るけど、今から通帳に入れないといけない?

早くDTVビザを申請したいから、ベトナムのハノイで申請をしてもいいかとも考えている。

皆さんのアドバイスを待ってます🥺

Hi guy's, I'm traveling back from Vientiane tomorrow.

Flight from Vientiane to Bangkok BKK.

I'm then flying on to Phuket.

Has anyone done this recently?

My question is when I land in Bkk do I have to do immigration there or can I stay airside and do immigration In Phuket?

Thanks.

Hey folks, for DTV holders who arrived after May 1st, what did you select under "purpose of travel" in the TDAC?

I've been in and out multiple times already but this week will be my first time arriving after the TDAC became mandatory.

I’ve been to the embassy to try to get explanations. The officer after checking told me “my documents were not qualified”, but said they couldn’t say which document or more particular reason.

So I show the officer my documents, to ask opinion.

- Proof of locations :

OK (airport stamp + Airbnb booking)

- Bank statement:

officer said maybe my statement looks fake. Because there is not a lot of activity on it the past 6 months. Only 4 or 4 transaction In and Out. But this is my saving account. I don’t use it every day. On my daily account I never have 500k.

Also, I provided statement physically stamped by the bank + cover letter from the bank certify I have the fund.

What should I do in this case ?? Is this already happened to someone ? I guess it’s linked to many fake statement provided.

- Soft Power documents:

Officer said my letter was not really detailed on sport training detail. And should explain more what will I do.

For Hanoi, I've read tonnes of posts here and just curious about how many months you all have that 500,000 Baht in your bank statements for? (love to know the shortest period of successful cases ;) Thank you!
