For those wondering why it's difficult to open a bank account, this could give you some information. Take it as you will..

I just got my DTV visa as remote worker from Thai Embassy Austria.

They asked for further documents three times that were not on the list when I applied, such as cover letter. So it took me 1 month in total to get it.

My friends who applied for Muay Thai softskill DTV got it earlier.

So if you also have both options like me, maybe choosing softskill is easier.

Hey Everyone, I have a question regarding the 500,000 THB. I have a bank statement that shows I have earned over this amount in the past 6 months however my opening and closing balance are not this amount.

Does this matter and has anyone has success with this or does the bank statement have to have a closing balance of over 500,000?

Thank you 🙏

Hi guys, posting anon because the group is open and my friends are nosey.

I am planning on applying for the DTV. I saw someone sayin they think they got rejected because they have their middle name on their passport but not on their bank statement. Anyone with any info? In the US it's normal to not use your middle name on documents really. My middle name in my passport but not my bank accounts, credit card, literally nothing else. Should I not even bother as I would waste $400? Thank you so much.

Hello

We need to have 500k on our bank account for each person or all family? Applying from Portugal. Thanks

Its time to start the process for retirement. How much can i do from Australia before heading over. As in visa!

Good evening everyone I was born in Italy but I have been living in London for 26 years. I am 59 years old and would really like to retire in Thailand where I have already traveled several times and where I met a lady and would like to get married. Question: what do I need from A to Z to do this? bank account, visas, if I need to have a house with her etc.. Thank you all so much

Concerning the DTV: I'm in America, and the Muay Thai organization has packaged their letters and sent them to me. The letter states that I want to start training in June. On the Thai Embassy visa application, it asks for the flight information and hotel/accomodations information. They ask that entry should be within 3 months and not longer.

I have not purchased a flight or reserved a hotel yet, so my visa application is in saved mode. My bank has issued to me a written statement for required funds, dated April 11. My question is can I delay my return to Thailand until September? If I delay the application, will my bank and the Muay Thai class need to change their dates? If I book the flight for June and reserve a hotel, then apply and get approved, can I cancel the flight, change the flight date to September, will I still have a valid DTV 4-5 months from now? It is possible for me to leave here in July, or earlier, but I have a financial opportunity that's difficult to put aside. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

So DTV for Thailand looks like our best option. Thank you all for your help! Quick question: is 500,000 Thai baht bank balance sufficient to apply for a husband with his spouse as a dependent, or do you need to double the bank balance to 1 million Thai baht for 3 months?

So I've a bangkok bank account.

If I were to drop dead, is there a way that the girlfriend in thailand would be able to get it.

Preferably with not a lot of drama.

Anyone any idea what I can do.

For what it is my family don't need it. I'd much rather she gets it. Will help her a lot more than my immediate family.

Cheers everyone
