Just submitted my application through Thai london embassy, on their portal it states “submitted” and status says “processing pending document check” - I’ve had no confirmation email or anything though. Do I need to keep returning to the portal to check the status of my application or will I get an email?

This might sound crazy but when moving to thailand on DTV have you shipped your TV furniture or computer etc? Thanks for sharing in advance.

Well, BKK Bank finally got around to my account. Frozen and closed.

Anyone find an agent that can make an account happen on a DTV?

I’m 46, a British citizen, and I own a UK registered limited company. My girlfriend is Ukrainian. If we apply for a DTV visa, do we both need to show 500,000 THB in liquid funds?

I am entering Thailand on a 90 day visa visiting family. We have a lease on a condo already for 7 months. When I applied for my visa I used the condo address, do I need to check in at immigration when arriving or is the tm30 by the owner enough?

I would like to get a DTV visa. I have the 500000 baht but it has only been in my bank account for 1 month. Are there any embassies that will allow this?

I just got approved within 48 hours of applying. The whole process took about 20 minutes. Open to questions if you have any.

Hello,

Has anyone found a way to pay their taxes in Thailand when their bank account has been closed due to DTV?

For anyone who responds, there's no need. That's because you come from a country with low tax rates and they don't ask for proof.

I spoke to the tax authorities about it, and even they don't know how to justify bringing money into Thailand without a Thai bank account. I already have my tax ID.

Ideally, I would like to avoid changing my visa.

Just a quick update for data purposes - I haven’t seen many people enter where we entered. My husband and I entered today at Krabi airport - we got our DTVs in April, but just now came. I had all the proof ready to pull up on my phone and even a new bank letter with balance info, but we were both stamped and waved through in as long as it took for them to scan my prints and take a photo. He even pointed to the stamp and said that I could stay until the end of March. I do recommend dressing neatly, which I feel helps in any Thai government interaction. 😊 So stoked!
