I understand gold can be used as proof of funds as it is a liquid asset

But how do you show this in an application for the DTV?

Cheers

Hi

I need to do my first border run with DTV

Can I do a round trip flight to Cambodia, stay just 24 hours, and then return to Bangkok?

Or is that too short of a stay?

Hi all!

I have all the necessary proofs and documents to start my application... only I just deposited the 15k into my bankaccount... do I now have to wait 3 months before I apply for my dtv to provide 3 months of account statements?

Best regard

DTV approved.

Workation + Sponsor letter.

7 days start to end.

Taipei was great but you should have all your documentation and perfect digital/paper trail from invoices and receipts with names and a trail into your bank account.

Entered Suvarnabhumi woth printed e-visa and zero issues or questions.

My application went from “pending approval” to “pending document check”. Does this mean they will ask for additional documents?

When we apply in Cambodia, do we need to put 5M bhat consistently for 3 months? Please kindly guide me.

I have a question regarding the immigration stamp. When I re-entered thailand, I got a 'Out-A' stamp which I did not get before. Does anyone know what this means?

Some background information. Not sure if it's helpful or not. I have been studying thai in Thailand for about 1.5 years. The first 1 year 2 months, I had an ED-Visa. The other 4 months I had a normal visa-exempt in which I had to do a border run. For the last 6 months of my studies, I studied in Chula.

I got my DTV Visa! Thanks, everyone, for all the help. Now... I need to get my wife and kids. Question, on the visa they ask for "document indicating current location" for my wife, she has a driver's license from our address from 15 years ago, not our current address (AZ drivers' licenses last until you are 65 so having the same ID even when you move is very common) We do have a water bill in her name. Do you think this will work? Second question, how do I prove this for my kids when they have no ID or bills in their name at our address?

I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Hello. I'm looking for some clarification and advice. My spouse and I are from USA and both over 50.

We are looking to get the LTR next year, once my spouse can show a little extra passive income on our taxes from renting out our house.

In the interim, we would like to enter Thailand on either an O or O-A visa. The problem appears to be that we thought we only needed to show the 800,000 Baht in our bank on the day of application, but now we noticed we need three months of statements.

We have access to the funds, but with the misunderstanding, we did not yet put them in an account(s) and we want to travel soon.

We also have the option of showing $2,500 in income with those statements. We have a joint checking where my spouse can easily demonstrate that income, but I am a little short.

Based on that, it appears my spouse should have no problem with either the O Or the O-A immediately, but I might have issues.

Based on the above we have a few questions:

1) Do I need to show the money in my account for all three months? I would qualify if I only needed it on application submission.

2) Would they take our total monthly income in our joint account and split it between us? If so, then I would have enough income for all three months.

3) I know I can't open a Thai account without a 90 day visa. Of course, I could go on an exemption or vacation visa. I could then return to the USA after three months and apply for an O or O-A, but that's not very ideal. Is there another option that would allow me enter Thailand sooner and not have to return to the USA to reapply?

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this, and for helpful clarification or advice.
