Hi all is it correct that if I sign up for and participate in the appropriate approved course for a minimum of 6 months to be eligible for the DTV visa are there any future obligations to do courses or remote work or is the 5 year visa then in place regardless?

Hi all,

I want to have a certified copy of my UK passport notified and translated to Thai for the purpose of securing the Yellow Tabien Baan ( house book for foreigners)

I am in Hua Hin and the embassy web suggests finding a local notary. That would be handy but I guess BKK.

Has anyone from the UK gone through this process and can advise

TIA

Hello I made a request for a bank statement online on my kasikorn app, they sent me my statement by email, however to open the PDF I have to enter the password which is my complete date of birth in numbers. When I make the request do I have to send the PDF or are PNG screenshots accepted? I plan to apply in Hanoi. Thx

Is anyone else still waiting on a frozen account with Bangkok Bank Central Pattya Branch? I went to the branch on the 28th last month, they copied my passport with current retirement visa, my driver's license, my lease agreement, and my SIM card receipt. I was told they would get back to me in 2 weeks and it's now been 3 weeks. My account was opened last year on a tourist visa and with the help of an agent however I always funded it myself with the 800,000 baht being my own funds and the balance has never dropped below that.

Heads up.

Just went to the Nonthaburi immigration office to get the paper work list for O A extension.

All normal EXCEPT they insist the bank letter MUST be issued the day you apply. That sucks.

Hi everyone, I have been asked to provide a selfie with the date inside of where I'm staying (applying for soft power DTV in HCMC) - do you know if there is anything specific about the picture that I need to have in mind? I'm also providing a pdf of the official booking. I took a close up shot so you can see the date that I wrote, but unsure if that would pass. Thanks for help 🙏

【Question about DTV ( Destination Thailand Visa )】

Hello, I'd like to ask for some advice

① Do I need to have the 500k thb in a Thai bank account?

Is it okay an account in another country?

② What is the minimum income required to be eligible for the DTV?

I just started working as a freelancer this week and my monthly income is only $100.

Until last month, I was earning $2,000 a month as an office worker and I have $40,000 in my bank

Could you please share your experience?
