Hello,

can someone share his experience in Topping up his Bank Account before applying for the DTV which the Embassy can see on the Bank statements? For Example if i am applying for Soft Power and they see in the last 6 Month Bank Statements that i topped up my Bank Account for like 200k THB in 2 different Payments. Could that be a problem or are they don t care that much as long as it s not a one big payment?

Hello all, please help🙏 Applied from Vietnam. Hanpi Embassy. UK passport, self-employed, UK business owner. visa cancelled: wrong personal info. Is it because of the middle name? Applied and inserted the middle name everywhere, however, the Companies House, Tax Return, Bank Statements have only initials, not full name like in the passport. I wonder if this is the problem?

This is meant as a warning. Do not use the embassy in Kuala Lumpur to obtain your DTV.

I was issued my DTV there and it was not for 5 years, but until the expiration of my passport...about 3 years, in my case.

Clearly, someone in KL did it wrong. However, it would appear that I have no recourse.

Hi folks, since I cannot seem to get a Thai bank account with my DTV, I would like to register for a TrueMoney account, so at least I can have the convenience of paying for stuff with QR codes, even if I do have the faff of topping up the account using cash at Seven Eleven. Can anyone confirm that they have been able to open a TrueMoney account being on a DTV and using only your passport as ID. And can the registration all be done with the app, or will I need to actually go to a Seven Eleven when I arrive in Thailand next week? Thanks!

Hello, I applied for Thai DTV visa. After two weeks I was asked for additional documents which I submitted and it has been about two weeks since I submitted additional documents that I haven’t heard anything. My question is since I already booked my ticket, is it ok to travel to Thailand while my DTV visa is processing? Of course I will leave Thailand and re-enter if my DTV is approved to activate it. But I am not sure if this is ok or it might get my DTV application rejected.

Hi All

Re-entry permit enquiry...

My situation is that I have a non-immi 'O' visa with one year retirement extension and no re-entry permit so far.

I now need to leave/return Thailand once, before my extension expires, and retain my current visa so I can extend again.

I got my last extension renewal at Jomtien, Chonburi.

I'm in Phuket now and want to stay south, flying out of the country from Samui in June. I see now that I probably should have applied for a re-entry permit at Jomtien before I left.

I just want to confirm that it's NOT possible to apply for a re-entry permit at Phuket immigration and that I need fly from Don Mueang or Suvarnabhumi airport and apply there when I fly.

If so, are there any issues with doing that which have occurred recently?

Thanks

Does anyone know if it’s possible to be approved for a DTV without proof of employment. But proof of steady income in the form of disability. I know the retirement visa is a thing but I’m under 50
