Hello everyone,

I’m currently working on building my 500,000 baht balance on my account. I expect to have it before my application, but the 500,000 balance will only be there for a few weeks, probably before my application. I’ll be applying at the Vienna embassy. Do you have any experience with this?

I can provide six months of statements, and they’ll see my monthly income from my employer. It’ll be the same company that will provide a letter for “remote work approval” and a contract as well.

So, what do you think? Is it more important to have a 500,000 baht balance for three months straight, or is it okay to have an end balance of 500,000 baht gained over six months?

Another thing is, I have two accounts in the same bank. One is my personal account, and the other is my business account. I always have money in my business account and then move about 70% of that paycheck to my personal account. I do this because I pay my insurance and taxes from my business account and other expenses from my personal account.

When I show my statements, there will be a difference in the numbers on those accounts. Should I show them with some graphic that highlights those moments on my accounts or add some text in the PDF to explain everything?

Lastly, should I provide every bank statement in English? Has anyone used Google Image Translation for this?

Thank you for your responses.

I have applied for Softpower DTV. Nothing happens since 06.08. I have a flight to Thailand on the 13th because I have to go to the clinic. I'm worried that it won't work anymore. Can I enter the country if it is still outstanding? My husband and daughter also need the DTV. Any ideas?

I'm looking to bring my partners niece to England for a 2 month holiday.

Roughly how long does the process take?

I know that might be like asking 'how long is a piece of string' but maybe someone who has gone through the process could give me a rough idea?

And what is the starting point?

The UK or Thai Embassy?

Thanks

Hello! My Daughter has an ED Visa and I have a Non-O (dependent) Visa. Our visas expire next year. Booked a flight for Dec 13. How soon can I go to immigration to submit school letter and to cancel our visas? School will refund deposit to my bank account. Will I have a hard time getting the cheque cleared and not be able to withdraw my balances on my account? Thanks 🙏

Hey all,

We plan to head over again this fall but would like to try and obtain a DTV visa.

We have a steady monthly income of around 150k Thai bhat but we don’t have “digital nomad employment”

However, We would like to do a trial run before of a couple of months to make sure this is our right move.

What’s the timeline on obtaining DTV. We are open to hanging out in a neighbouring country for a short time once our 60 days are complete, but I have read you have to apply for DTV from your home country.

Any insights?

Also. Anyone who’s moved their Dog with them, what was the appropriate channels? What documents will be required?

I recently had my Non-O retirement visa extended, but BB’s new policy made the process extremely difficult, complicated, and costly in both time and money.

I would now like to transfer my funds from BB to another bank. Would it cause any problems if I withdraw all the money from my BB account, which I used for the visa extension, since one of the conditions requires maintaining a minimum balance of THB 400,000? Or, as long as I have THB 800,000 (THB 400,000 2 months prior to the filling date) in any Thai bank account, would that be acceptable?

In other words, for my future visa renewal, must I continue using the same bank account that I originally used for the visa application and initial renewal?

If anyone has experience to share, I would appreciate it.
