Preparing to apply for DTV in Vientiane, Laos.

I've seen some reports saying that the 500k THB must be in the account continuously for the preceeding three months.

Can anyone confirm or contradict this? I'm planning to transfer money into the account just before applying, since it's currently spread over several accounts.

Thanks.

Apply as business owner

Does the FINANCIAL EVIDENCE has to be from mu privat account? Or can I send financial evidence from my business account which indicates my business name which is NOT my personal name (BUT sending all the papers where you can see my personal name as the owner of this business).

ANY EXPERIENCES? 🙏🙏

Being based in Vientiane, I have several questions with regards to multiple entry tourist visa.

1) Tod Daniels has affirmed in a forum which I read that proof of residence in Laos wouid be okay with the stay permit and work permit. ( please confirm )

2) 200,000 baht has to shown. Can this be shown in a UK bank account to the equilvalent in thai baht? Let’s just say 40 is the rate.

3) How necessary is the hotel booking and mode of transport? I’ll be crossing at theNong khai bridge mainly for day trips and overnight trips. Please advise .

Hello everyone.

I am an American. I am planning my retirement and will marry a Thai national soon. My question is, is it possible to have my retirement income deposited into a Thai bank account? Also when I'm eligable, the same for Social security? Is it easy to open a bank account in Thailand, Hua Hin? Any advise or exerience is welcome.

Has anyone applied for a DTV visa at the Royal Thai Embassy in Chennai, India? Regarding the bank statement requirement, does it need to show a closing balance of 500,000 THB, or should the account consistently maintain 500,000 THB for the past six months? Please share your experience.
