Do I need 2 x 500K if applying for myself and then my wife as my spouse? TIA

Hi. I'm from Poland and want to apply through the embassy in Warsaw. I have a question: can I use a bank statement confirming my 500,000 TBH account balance instead of a statement? I have the money in term deposits, and they don't appear on my statement.

Regarding the travel info on the dtv app. Do you put 175-180 days out for departure?

What’s up in Pattaya? At night market by central mall and almost every stall is indian run! Most of Pattaya is like that now! How can they all work, guarentee all don’t have work permits!

My steps for immigration to HuaHin

Everything is slowly falling into place. I plan to book a hotel for the first few weeks and then look for a suitable condo. Last time, I stayed at Kian Haad, near Market Village. I think there are better options. So any hotel advice would be welcome.

However, I still have a few questions.

*Is this address acceptable for returning the embassy affidavit?

*Is a hotel's TM30 sufficient for applying for a bank account and renewing my Non-O?

Thanks for your advice.

Just a quick one. The people who had their bank accounts frozen, did you all use an agent to open it or have any of you opened an account without the agent & still been frozen

Hello folks! DTV extensions in Phuket. Who’s tried it, and what was your experience? Based on initial research I’m expecting to meet friction.

But even a single successful extension would give enough confidence to try.

Otherwise I’m just going to mini-vacay in KL.

TIA

P.s. was just admitted to the group today, so my apologies if this was already covered. 

I submitted my application on 1/10 and approved 8/10. This group was super helpful so thank you to all people that commented on my posts to make the process easier.

I thought I would share my experience for anyone who are business owners with multi-layer company structures across international borders.

I am a new property business owner, I own houses for rental and also buy houses to flip in USA. I am a UK citizen so my company structure is layered. The importance was showing the link of my personal name, that owns the UK/Irish companies. Then demonstrate the link of the UK/Irish companies that sit within the USA LLC that own the properties.

I am also a chartered surveyor and an examiner for the RICS (Chartered Institution).

I submitted the following to the London embassy:

1. Covering letter explaining my business and professional profile

2. Link to RICS website showing my RICS profile

3. RICS SLA agreement for being an examiner

4. Company Registration of UK/Irish/USA companies

5. Operating agreement of USA company (showing my UK/Irish company member listing

6. Title ownership documents of 3nr properties

7. Bank statements from all business accounts and personal bank account. Business ones just showed balance, personal showed 3 months which evidenced money coming in from business accounts.

7 days to approve, no additional documents requested. No interview, no flight tickets, no rental contract and no TM30. However I would recommend submitting these as I’ve noticed this has been asked for other applications.

This was a complex application so a little nervous it wouldn’t be approved with my companies only being a few months old. My business accounts have a very high level of money in them to purchase properties so that may have contributed to the easier approval.

Anyway thought I’d share my experience in case anyone submitting are company owners with complex structures!

Hi everyone! 👋

I recently registered for TrueMoney Wallet in Thailand using just my passport. I’ve also applied for a Thai driving license, which I should get by tomorrow. Once I upload it, my account will be fully verified and flexible to use.

My question is about topping up the wallet: Can I use my international debit or credit card, or am I limited to cash top-ups at 7-Eleven or ATMs?

Can someone please explain how it works for foreigners? Thanks a lot in advance!

Hello! Just a quick question if anyone can advise. I'll be submitting my application for DTV soft power and I have the 3 months of bank statements with the required $ but its a bit shy of 90 days since I didn't deposit it until a week or two into the 1st month. Will that be ok? Or do they require the full 90 days? Im in California btw.
