Hi all,

The Thai Embassy has returned with a request for more information:

A letter explaining how I will work remotely while in Thailand?

Does this mean I just need to make an "official" letter myself. Explaining I will work out of a co-working space from my laptop? Any more details needed?

Dear all,

For my DTV visa application, I submitted a letter from my bank stating that my funds exceed 500,000 baht. However, the Thai embassy has requested another bank statement and another letter confirming that my funds are still above 500,000 baht. I don’t understand why, as I have already provided this information.

What exactly should the bank write in the letter?

Does the bank statement need to be signed on every page?

The statement already shows that my funds exceed 500,000 baht. The bank has also officially confirmed this.

How should the bank statement be formatted to meet the embassy's requirements?

Thanks for your help!

I’m applying for the DTV, but my passport (to be stamped, if visa is approved) expires in one year. How does that work, do you just get a new stamp in one of your quarterly visits to immigration? Thanks.

180 days on a DTV coming up, living in Pattaya. Can I border bounce either via BKK airport or via a van service to Cambodia on the same day to get another 180 days or do I need to spend time out of the country?

Hello! I have heard that you need the 500k in your bank account for at least 3 months prior you send the application, is that true? thanks

Has anyone been asked to show your bank account upon your first entry? Or at reentry?

I know it’s really up to the officer but I just wanna know what happens more often

🌼First Entry on DTV as 🇵🇰 Pakistani approved from Islamabad Embassy: 🌼

Entered from Bangkok Airport with flight in and out, hotel booking of 3 days and flight out was to Bali (not Pakistan). Bali I hold a valid 1 yr visa for.

I wasn’t asked much except how long will I be staying and what’s my purpose. (i had all docs prepped just in case).

People next to me on visa exemption got asked more Qs tbh.

Visa Officer was happy and stamped me in for 6 months 😊

There was no line at BKK airport, I was the only one in my queue.

PS: Thai Airways official in Bali (where I was leaving from) asked me the most questions, printed out my DTV on their colored printer and gave it to me at the boarding gate with something written in small letters (might be an airline sign off or sth) but anyway Thai airways knew fully well about DTV and what’s required and were thorough in their questioning.

Overall 10/10 Experience and made me happy to be entering the Kingdom on a positive note 😊

Question.. Im applying for my visa and I have a question. Im from California USA, have a California ID with my fathers address on it. Im currently living in Missouri USA. I don't mind my fathers address being on documents so he can collect mail etc. but would this mean I should apply through the embassy in LA rather than Missouri?

Thank you in advance!
