I’m aware that 500k THB bank statement is required but I’d like some clarification regarding how long?

I know it says 3 months, but I’ve seen some say online that applications have been accepted while they only had 1 month statements of the funds available.

Hi everyone, I have a Destination Thailand Visa and under remarks it says Thai Culinary (as I've enrolled it with a cooking class course for 6 months).

Does anyone know if this restricts me only to cooking courses for the validity time of the visa, or could I re-enroll in a different soft power activity (for example Muay Thai) after 180 days when I do a border run?

Question about bank statement:

How recent must it be? Should it be from the same day or the day before you apply?

For anyone who's experienced with this topic:

· My 3 months Non B visa was expired on August 26 and I didn't cancel it on the immigration here in Bangkok.

· On the same day I did border run to get 60 days stamp.

· Not sure if my employer had already cancelled my work permit but it was due to expire next year

Question: If ever I applied for a Non B visa again with a new employer, Visa extension and work permit, will I have problems? Because I read a post about immigration making him pay 20K THB when he did 1 year visa extension for his job with new employer because he didn't cancel his 3 months non B visa when he ended his job with former employer. Does anyone have similar experience with this? Thanks

Hello, I'm currently living in the US, looking to obtain a long term visa. I was interested in the long term O-X visa. I don't have any problems with the requirements, except that I have a misdemeanors from 2003 and 2017. No felonies. It says on the Thai website that I have to have a clean criminal record. Am I screwed? Any suggestions? I also could do a marriage visa down the road. Thanks for any input.

Hello my name is andre, i have been planning on moving to thailand for the past couple years and I think it's finally time to take the leap. Would I be able to take six months to a year of thai language classes out in town underneath the education visa and then leave the school once i'm completed with the program to then attend school at chulalong? Im a veteran and would like to use my gi bill. In my head, i would be underneath a student visa, but they would just have to change the details underneath my file.When it came for immigration. Or would they look at it like i'm applying for a second student visa... And start putting up a fuss and start scrutinizing and asking questions, regardless, they'll ask questions. Does anybody here know anyone or anything about the possibilities of approval for this visa strategy.

Hi guys, my partner and I are considering coming to Thailand long term. I’m considering a DTV for a Freelancer/Remote Worker and meet the criteria. She is also a freelancer but doesn’t have enough saved to apply for this visa. Wondering if it’s possible if I can add her to my application, even though we aren’t married?

Asking for 2 healthy 80 year olds....is the retirement visa the best option? And regarding the application from their home country...do they need to show international health insurance? They will always have travel insurance. Back and forth every year. I know they dont need to show proof of health insurance if they apply from within Thailand.
