I am married to a Thai and applying for the O retirement visa

Being married do I require 400,000 baht or 800,000 baht in a Thai bank?

Also what is the maximum amount that I can transfer to my Thai Krungthai bank account from Australia?

Hello everyone, Australian sailing to Thailand next year to retire. I'm 50 years of age and receiving a monthly pension that exceeds the minimum amount. My question is I would like to live on my sailboat in Thailand, to apply for the retirement "O" visa I need a place of residence can I use a thai Marina as my address. Has anyone done this? Cheers. 🍻

I got this from my mobile phone service providers. It looks like a reporting of the amount of money I paid to the Department of revenue? But it’s kind of not clear if I’m supposed to pay somebody this amount right now or if this is just for tax purposes later? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi everyone,

Just wondering if anyone else has applied for the DTV visa from Cambodia recently? I submitted my application on June 2nd, and it’s now been 18 business days – still showing as “Pending Approval.”

Is this delay normal, or should I be concerned? Would really appreciate hearing about your timelines or any recent experiences. Thanks in advance!

Update: got approved today 30/6 after 28 days (19 business days) 🥳

How many multiple entries in a multiple entry? Ok I know its a stupid question but one that is in the back of my head. My fiance' (a Thai citizen) and I are taking full advantage of the multiple entry of my DTV, since I originally arrived I've left Thailand six times, sometimes for a day or two. Comeing back is going through immigration again, new TM30 (which I do myeslf at her house) new stamp, extension in the six months in my passport. I'll admit I'm a worrier. But it only takes one inquisitive immigration officer, one note in the computer, one denied entry, one major suspicion and it could all be over. They can cancel your DTV at will. Now my fiance' says not to worry, she's a corporate banker and some of her colleages are leaving the country weekly sometimes more. But they're Thai citizens its a compltely different situaiton. So am I worrying for nothing? I've never once been questioned, just stamped through.

Just another parrot in here reaching the 180 day point of a DTV. who's looking for the easiest way a british citizen in bangkok can extend another 180 days outside of a flight or visiting Bangkok immigration? Not just a location that I should border bounce at but an actual simplified journey planner. I can be up as early as needed. Apologies if it comes off as demanding but I prefer real time verified answers instead of finding a post about border running 6 months ago. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I heard that some DTV applicants receive a rejection or cancellation email either immediately or within a day after paying the visa fee. The embassy doesn’t provide any reason for the rejection and doesn’t request any additional documents—just a simple rejection notice. Many applicants feel disappointed because they believe they submitted genuine information and fully complied with the visa application requirements. What major mistakes could lead to rejection in such cases?

Hi there, I applied for DTV (Workcation) at Delhi Consulate on 28 May and got 'Application Cancelled. Disqualified'.

Here is the overview of the info and documents I submitted:

1. Have visited Thailand before: Yes (but this was from my old passport and I got renewed passport just few days before applying DTV)

2. Proof of current address: Arrival stamp in India from 15 days before applying the visa (but this was from old passport) yet nothing about old passport I mentioned in the application.

3. Proof Of Remote Work: Provided my NZ and India Company Extract initially. Was requested Employment contract 5 days after I applied, which I created and signed and stamped myself with all details regarding remote work, salary/dividend etc.

4. Proof of funds: Deposited 16k USD worth of BTC into Xapo Bank, converted to USD 1 day before applying the visa and sent the USD statement. Also there were multiple transaction of 2k-3k USD in and out every day from last 3 months. Also added Revolut NZD statement for 3 months which had not much balance but numerous transactions of 2k-3k USD and also many card transactions in Thailand.

5. Was also asked more documents for current address proof, for which I sent my Indian driver license and National ID (Adhaar).

3 days after submitting the additional documents, I got the email 'Application Cancelled. Disqualified'.

Now I am planning to apply again but don't want to make any mistakes. I am currently in Thailand 60 day visa free and planning to transfer my BTC again to Xapo bank again but this time keep for 3 months after converting to USD. But I am not sure that the bank statement may have caused the application cancellation last time. Could it be passport arrival stamp before the even the passport was issued? Could it be the self attested employment certificate?

What are your guesses and advice?

Would really appreciate any response! Thank you

Question: When documentation is requested (via Washington DC) how long do we have to submit the requested paperwork? I ask because I would like to wait for my June Statement to print…i have 18,700 K USD on that one. In May I had 17,500K but in april I did not have the amount I think I was at like 14k USD. Also my full name is not on this account just my First Name, Middle Initial, Last Name. Should I include a page explaining situation? On initial submission i submitted one statement, a current screen shot of the balance and two tax returns. What do you guys recommend?
