Retairement Visa: do you have to keep all the time the 800.000 bath , then 400.000 or can you withdrawl everything and deposit 800.000 the 3 month before the renewal?

Hi, I have applied tourist visa online n got the email to provide additional document to proceed further :

1, address for my stay 60 days in thai — originally I showed the first hotel that I stayed few days as I want to find hotels after landed; should I really need to book 60 days hotel to attach such documents

2, invitation letter from thai people (how to get this or what the content)

If I didn’t attach such additional document, will my record of failed tourist visa to be showed n affect my entry when landed in thai ? I plan to apply Retire visa in thai after landed in fact. Thanks for add advice!

Anyone know what's going on with wise.

I transfer money using wise into my Bangkok bank I mark it as long term for retirement but when I check my Bangkok bank account it shows up as DEP TRF FR E-CH not international transfer. Has something changed with Wise because before it would show up correctly. Also will immigration except it when going for visa renewal

Thanks

Anyone have the same bank issue as me?

I had my bank account frozen on August 19th went in on the 20th after driving 600km and gave them all the info they asked for. I gave them my non o retirement visa, my two thai drivers licenses my tm30 with my gfs home address and her house book and Id (she was with me) since I live with her. I asked if they needed a lease or anything since I don't pay rent I built the home. They said no I had just renewed my visa 5 days earlier and that's good enough. I went the next friday and the friday after that looking for updates. I gave them an immigration residency certificate on the 5th of September just in case. I called again few days ago and now they want a lease. I explained I built the home im in and don't pay rent. They said they knew just make up a lease for the place you are at now. Im sure I must have misunderstood. Has anyone gotten themselves unfrozen without owning a condo or having a lease? Name of bank left out and of course this is all hypothetical.

Dear fellow members,

I have a question. I hold DTV visa for almost a year now and I also want my husband to apply for it as a dependent. We thought about doing so in Laos or Vietnam before however, I kind of want to visit to Korea soon. So, i am wondering if he can apply for DTV dependent in Korea (Thai) Embassy. Does anyone have experience?

Thanks in advance ☺️

Hi, I hold an Australian passport and am in Thailand now. Planning to apply for the MT DTV in December.

- Any recommendations re cities/countries to apply from, in terms of visa success rate, length of process and price?

- Re occupation, is it easier to write unemployed’ so that they won’t ask further evidence re income?

I know this isn't directly DTV related per say but since this topic has been up for so many times related to DTV-holders, I think it is important to share but the Mods will have the final saying in that of course.

"Banking crisis as security overreach limits large numbers of personal and business bank accounts"

"On Saturday night, the Bank of Thailand scrambled to contain the fallout, with a top official promising urgent action to reverse the damage."
