If I get the 7 day denied visa, can I do an annual extension after that during the 7 days?

I'm missing 1 document to do my annual extension (ownership title of the house) and a local witness.

I

I applied for a non-O visa from USA over a month ago. My flight is next week. I’m starting to worry. Evisa site says documents have been reviewed and it’s “pending approval”. Just emailed them to find out what’s going on. Is this normal?

💡 DTV Visa Tip: How to Prepare Financial Proof the Smart Way

Just want to share a quick trick from my experience helping clients apply for DTV visa.

Even though the rule allows you to combine multiple bank accounts to reach 500,000 THB balance — from my experience, putting all the funds into one single bank account gives you a much higher chance of getting approved.

Why? Because imagine you’re the officer reviewing your application online.

When they open your documents,

what do they want to see?

✅ A clear, simple statement that says

“Here’s the account, and here’s

the ending balance over 500,000 THB.”

That’s it.

No confusion, no extra matching between different accounts, and no unnecessary

questions like “where did this money come from?”

A few quick notes:

🚫 Don’t include crypto, digital assets, or e-wallet balances — they don’t count as financial proof.

💳 If you show multiple accounts, it usually takes them longer to review, and sometimes raises doubts even when you meet the requirement.

So if you want to make the process smoother keep it simple, keep it clear, and keep it in

one account.

Hope this helps someone preparing

for their DTV visa.

Good luck everyone! 🌍✨

Hi All, I am in Thailand on 60 day Visa at the moment. I am heading to Vietnam in December/January. I was going to apply for my DTV there rather than going back to Aus. I was wanting to know if there was anyone in a similar situation to mine that can share their experience?

I don't want to go all the way back to Aus to do paperwork if I can avoid it.

OK, I would welcome all thehelp/advise I can get. Here is where I am currently at. I have retired, I'm 64. I am at that miserable stage where I am trying to liquidate all my belongings. I'm also getting my financial situation ready too. I'm not concerned with the financial obligations required. I have no problem putting 800,000 baht into an account,and my monthly social security deposit is more than the 65,000 baht required. so, what retirement visa should I apply for? FYI, I'm from the USA. I currently do not have health insureance, so I am looking for a visa that doesn't require it. Also, how far back does the background check go? I'm good for 20 years. Please help me get this going. In addition, how far ahead do I apply meaning how long does it normally take to get approved? Lastly, after getting approved, how long do I have to go before it expires?

Thanks BV

I submitted my paperwork on October 13th, got documents requested on the 17th, and I’ve been waiting since. Is it worth visiting the Embassy in-person to get an update? They immediately hangup the phone if I try to call, and when I emailed them before, they said it would be processed by yesterday. I’m supposed to head out tonight, so I’m worried.

My application was approved, and I'm posting this as a reference for those applying through the embassy in Mexico City.

I decided to apply in my own country instead of going to a country in Southeast Asia because that way I avoid translations and misunderstandings in my documents, as well as unnecessary reviews.

Category: Workcation.

Application started on October 20th

Request for extra documents: October 21st (An extra ID in addition to the passport) as proof of current location.

Application accepted October 24th.

The documents were organized as follows:

FINANCIAL EVIDENCE

- 3 last work payslips

- 3 bank statements with + 500k baht

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT

- Resume

- Employment contract

- Job Letter (stating that "I can work remotely from Thailand")

- Personal Letter Explaining My work

- 3 samples of my work (Portfolio)

CURRENT LOCATION

- Covering letter (Stating that I will follow all the rules established by the Kingdom of Thailand regarding the DTV)

- Passport scan (all pages)

I will answer any specific questions that applicants at this embassy may have. Cheers

Hi guys,

I have an online business that grossed around €50k in revenue but most of that was put back into the business rather than paying myself apart from in dribs and drabs.

Do I need to be seen paying myself on a regular basis or will the business turnover be enough. Also, I have multiples of the B500k in my personal current/ savings accounts so hopefully that will appease them.

Thanks
