Hi everyone, has anyone applied for a DTV from California with a spouse and 2 children? I cannot find solid information regarding how much we need to have in our bank account for the 4 of us. My 2 kids are under 10 years old.

I see a few articles and blogs saying we need to show proof we have 500,000 THB for the primary applicant - but I also see some articles stating we will need to show proof that we have 2,000,000 THB for the 4 of us. Eek.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks so much!

Hi guys - question about the 90 day report for DTV holder

I entered Thailand on my DTV August 15th

I then left for a work trip October 14th

Do my 90 days re-set if I have left within 90 days?

I just want to know if I am supposed to do my 90 day report now for the August entry...or if I have to do it sometime in January for the October entry

Thanks in advance!

Hello, i’m Indonesian but since my previous visa had been expired so i’ve tried to enter Thailand with visa exemption once and they rejected me to go in and asked me to go back to Lao. They told me that i could enter by airport. So i decided to apply new Visa in Lao and right now im on the way to pass the friendship bridge Lao-Thai. I already printed all of the documents. Do you think i can pass the immigration? Please inform me, i do not want to be left behind by the bus

Hey, is anyone able to help me just to make sure I have what’s needed for the DTV. I think I have everything, but just from people’s personal experiences, any tips would be amazing!

I will have (at the time of applying)

- 500,000 baht in my account for 3/4 months

- 6 months of invoices and matching bank statements

- a freelance contract (I freelance for a uk company)

- a letter stating I can work remotely and no Thai connections

- cover letters.

I will also have the usual passport/accomodation/flights etc.

In terms of preparing now, does anyone know if I need anything else? I’ll be applying in London next year.

Thanks for the help!

I’ve recently applied for the DTV through the Wellington Embassy (yep, I know—it’s the pricey one, but since I’m based in NZ I figured I’d give it a go).

The embassy has come back with this request:

“Other requested documents: Proof of accommodation in Thailand for the entire duration of stay is required.”

Has anyone else come across this? What did you provide?

I’ve got accommodation sorted for the first month but was planning to find an apartment once I arrive in Chiang Mai.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

I'm seeing to apply for non O in your own Country. I'm seeing apply online. You can set the location of your lap top to anywhere? So why pay for a trip to your native country.

Can someone share their experience and steps they took to get a ED visa for a Muay Thai school (1 year) and what visas the spouse and children got? Thank you for your help. We're just trying to figure out all our options.

Second entry into Thailand report.

After being in Thailand for 3 weeks, I went to Siem Reap for 2 and then returned through Don Mueang Airport (first entry was Suvarnabhumi). Easy as can be. No questions from IO - in fact I don't think she said anything other than hello and goodbye to me.
