Sawasdee Krub,

Anyone familiar with this coming from the Us should be able to help.

I’ve been told the move to stay in Thailand is to apply for the DTV visa, full stop. The issue of course is that you need 500,000 baht average in a bank account (checking /savings) for 90 + days.

I have a brokerage account with the amount but from what I understand, that doesn’t work because it has to be currency, not stocks, crypto, etc.

My back up is an ED visa, but I’m concerned because the fees aren’t refundable for either option, and I’m flying on 31st Oct.

If I’m being honest, I’m planning to train Muay Thai, and learn the language (probably seek citizenship eventually)

I get checks for life, and plan on working digitally on top of that, but they want 3 months of the money in my account to recieve DTV.

Can I come in with ED and and apply after the expiration from another SE country?

Is there any tips on how I still may be able to get the DTV? I really really want that one!

Khop Khun Krub!

I'll be arriving in Thailand on 17th Oct, Friday at 22:00 PM. I need to do TM.30, but Immigration will be closed on Saturday and Sunday. If I visit immigration on Monday to do the TM.30, will I be asked to pay fine of 1600 Baht since I didn't do it within 24 hours of my arrival?

I'm renting a condo, but I don't have any communication with the owner. My only communication is with the agent and the condo juristic persons. When I first rented the condo, the owner basically refused to take any responsibility for the TM.30 and asked me to contact the condo juristic for it to be taken care off.

Since then, my TM.30 has always been done by the condo juristic person, for a fee of 500 Baht (since I didn't wanted to visit the immigration myself to do it). But this time, the condo juristic person said that he can't do it on Saturday because the immigration will be closed. Can only be done on Monday and he's not sure if I'll need to pay any fines.

Any suggestions on what I should do? Will I be fined on Monday?

For non-O online, I didn't wind up having funds for 3 months (just sold my home in Sep) I am arriving Oct26. Is the recommendation to leave Thailand and apply again from outside once I have the three months of funds, in Dec? Will that be the easiest path, and could I accomplish this from Vietnam? I'll still have a US address I can use for the application.

My Visa, based on marriage, has been approved. I confirmed this with Delta on their app. Pretty simple. Under my ticket, I was asked to confirm my Visa. That is it. I have printed my payment and confirmation for my travel and have them saved on my phone. I will complete the TDAC about three days before I leave

My question is my spouse. She is a dual citizen. Under her Delta ticket, it looks like she needs a Visa also. Does anyone know what that is called? And does that get completed through our Consulate? Thank you

I am travelling to Thailand with a Non-iimigrant Type O visa from the UK, via Munich on Lufthansa Airlines. The visa is valid for 90 days as I will be staying in Thailand permanently then extending for 12 months based on marriage. Therefore I have booked a one way ticket. Will Lufthansa refuse me checking in and boarding the airplane as I do not require onward travel.
