I have the DTV visa. I'm trying to open a TrueMoney account on my phone.

It seems that TrueMoney is blocking foreigner registrations. When you click "scan passport" it fails. But when you click "scan local Thai ID card" it works without issue.

Can anyone confirm this?

Follow up to my post from 2 September. A few months ago Tod advised me "You could go to a Thai consulate in a nearby country and get a 90 day Non-O visa based on being the father of a thai child by using the birth certificate, the mothers i/d and house book and showing 400K baht in a thai bank account in your name only (or the equivalent in an account in your country)". Would it be possible to do this when my original 90-day Non-Imm 'B' is ready to expire on 24 Sept? I am not yet legally married to my child's mother but we all live together. If this is possible, what about Section 4 of the Supporting Documents section on the e-visa application for Vientiane Thai Consulate where it states: "Financial evidence showing monthly income of no less than 40,000 THB or having the current balance of 400,000 THB (e.g., bank statements for the last three months, sponsor letter)"? I would be able to show 400,000THB when I submit the e-visa application, but not in my bank for the last three months of bank statements. Has anyone had recent success in getting a 90-day Non-Imm O visa for a Thai child dependant, and did they have to show 400,000THB in their bank for 3 months up to the date they applied, or just in their account at the time they applied, particularly related to Vientiane Thai Consulate? Many thanks!

Anyone applied DTV for Remote worker or Freelance category (Not softpower skill) right after expiration of ED Visa ?? šŸ¤”

I’m actually holding ED visa and has remote job (I know it’s not good).

In case that I will be asked to submit last a few months payslips, I would be suspected that I work remotely with ED visa ….?? šŸ¤”

Do you think I should apply DTV for soft power skill category ?

I couldn’t find anyone asking same question this group in the past. Need your thought thank you šŸ™‚

I am in Vietnam (Hanoi) now finalizing DTV business owner application) and have a question about brokerage accounts, I’m using to only store cash.

I have a Robinhood account and my cash has been sitting there for a year with no investments earning 4% interest. It shows it 100% cash on the statements. Anyone have experience in how to present this since it’s not a ā€œtraditionalā€ bank? Do I need some kind of cover letter, or additional evidence? Thank you! šŸ™

I'm due to do my Non-O yearly extension (based on marriage) in a few months. Visa runs out on November 28th. Problem I have is that I am due to travel back to the UK over the Xmas period. I am also due to be away during October break (45 days before my visa expires and when I would normally be putting in the extension) 😬

So I would need to apply 30 days before the expiration date at the end of October and then fit in a house visit and wait for my passport and hope this can all be done before we leave on the 15th December!

I can't work out what to do, are there any options to extend my visa to cover this period and then do the proper extension once I am back in January?! Thanks

Hi guys, I need some advice and reassurance from those who had a similar experience. I applied for the DTV visa through a European agency. They told me I could apply with around €12,500 in the bank (less than 50,000 THB). I sent all documents 4 weeks before my flight (bank statement, 3 invoices, residence certificate, VAT certificate, self-declaration, passport, driving license). Now they say 3 invoices are not enough and are delaying sending my application to the Thai embassy in Italy. I don’t have more invoices i can create another 2... and I’m worried time is running out. In 3 weeks is my departure. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Thanks!
