Hi All, currently I am on a 60day exemption visa, which end at the end of the month. I am staying about 1.5 hrs drive from the Lao border. Can I just cross the border and re enter and get another visa for 30 days ???

Kplus — Can no longer transfer more than 50k thb per “day” anymore, all I ever used the account was for getting money from Europe, twice a month for many years on average with out issue to pay the wife and bills. This is despite me using a correct simcard and already did facial scan at the bank a while back. Probably gonna take a few days to move funds out gonna switch banks. This is utterly ridiculous. Been with them for 4 years with no issues. Luckily, I have four other Thai banks with no such limits. Only been using K plus because they are usually the fastest for international transfers might keep using them. Hopefully inbound won’t be impacted. I don’t think so, but won’t be using them for storing money or paying bills.

Question about this visa, being a sponsor and the financial requirements. I want to sponsor my two young adult children. Is the financial requirements an additional $15,000 for each of them along with my requirement?

After my separation we also lost our visa for Thailand by end of June 😞

I applied for a Worcation Visa at the Munich Consulate. Sent them all requested documents (some of them just in German). After 10 days they requested a "professional portfolio". I sent my portfolio via the platform and within 3 hours my visa was approved.

Immediately I applied with my approved visa the child visa for my 16 yr old daughter. I could not deliver a 500.000 Baht (15.000 Euro) bank account statement, because she is not 18 years old. I sent instead a sponsor letter, that I will be in charge for all costs etc.

7 days later her visa also was approved.

A big Thank you to the Munich Consulate. The did NOT just rejected like obviously other Consulats. They asked for further documents. I delivered and they approved immediately.

Also during Covid I just had outstanding experiences with the Munich Consulate. Thanks again to them! 🙏

Hey anyone ! I’m a freelancer looking into the DTV visa – wondering if anyone’s done it via an agency or on your own? Also curious if anyone here applied in Laos? Any tips would be awesome. Thanks heaps! 😊

Hello, French citizen, UAE resident who applied for DTV Thailand as remote worker. I have the sufficient fund in my French account and provided statement but the authorities came back with the following requirement : “Please upload your personal Bank Statement in UAE with a minimum amount no less than THB 500,000 within the last 3 months and ensure it is updated until July 2025.” What are my options as sending the fund to UAE would still not meet the requirement of 3 months.

I thought that the funds were linked to the individual not the country of application.

Somebody suggested I make a separate post out of this, thanks again for the answers in the other one. So how to avoid being rejected like many others have been, apparently, because of wrong name entry?

Caveat in my case; I happen to have a PhD and there are some funny countries like the one I'm from where this can be put into the passport.

At first I thought it was a good idea, and probably helps at some border checkpoints. However, it is much more trouble than it is worth, esp with regards to air travel, I'll spare you the details. So pictured below are the relevant excerpts name, plus the MRZ. However, the MRZ appears to be somewhat random, also shown the MRZ of my last passport where it is the other way around. Any tips welcome. Thank you.
