Has anyone experienced border bounce by land ?
Will crossing border by land consider exit the country ?
Flying into HCMC this Thursday to apply for the DTV freelancer visa. I have all my documents in order however I'm hearing mixed reports on the min balance of 500,000 baht requirement. Apparently it's getting more difficult there recently.
I have the balance in my bank account as of the end of January. I will only have last month's statement showing 500,000 baht and about 100,000baht for the previous 5 months.
If I wait a couple of days after i get to HCMC I could provide a second month with the balance for March when my monthly statements are issued, but would prefer to apply right away if it doesn't make a difference.
Can anyone confirm or deny this? Or is it hit or miss at the moment? Any advice?
TIA
I am US citizen, who owns his own business in the US and I don't pay myself a salary but installments. I have shown that I have more than $500K baht requirement with supporting documents to show I own 100% of my business but I have been requested to provide the following below...
It's frustrating because my fiancé got approved with no problem as a business owner but I keep getting asked for more documents... Mind you this is with the Thai Embassy in Los Angeles, CA.
Has any other business owners had to provide the following:
* Other request documents: Guarantee letter from the company implies that you work remotely
* Other request documents: Employment contract or employment certificate from company
Hi ! From experiences.
How long did it took you to be approved? Did you try anyone from Malaysia?
I have Argentinian Passport.
I wanna apply for Soft power activities with a Thai Language school in Chiang Mai and don't know which embassy of which country could be good to apply from.
I'm gonna be sure I have the money is needed to prove from the next three months in an Argentinian bank account to apply after .
And I will wait my tourist visa to expire to fly out also . So they don't say I still have tourist visa time available.
Any recommendations for my situation please?
Thank you !
How long does the 500k bhat need to be in your bank account before applying? I don’t see a solid answer on the website. Thanks 🙏

On the second page they ask for occupation. Do I just enter the same info like I did for my appliu(main DTV holder)?
I’m a bit confused 🙃
Thank you so much for your support 🙏
I am a citizen of Myanmar currently living in Chiang Mai with a Non-ED visa.
My current student visa will expire in coming May since it is for a one year program. So, I am planning to apply for a DTV visa to live longer in Thailand.
I would like to know if it is still possible to go back to Myanmar (Yangon) and apply the DTV visa this year?
I am quite worried about the airport security news I have heard lately. Also, I am within the age scope that they need for the military service. That's why...
Can someone please give me some advice?
Thank u in advance!
Edit :Thank you very much for all your suggestions. I am now planning to go to Cambodia. Your suggestions helped. I didn't ask in the wrong group. 🥰
Hi folks just wanted to get the latest on which embassies outside of Thailand can offer the multiple entry Non O marriage visa. Singapore had it for years, removed it, recently brought it back, then removed it again :(.
Coming in on a single then extending inside Thailand is not an option due to the 60 day inside country ( before you can apply ) criteria as I work on rotation. Very frustrating as I'm sure this effects a large number of people who bring in good money to the country. Coming in on a single every time, applying 21 days before online will just not work, that method would also require me to have 400k locked up for the entire year.
I will be working in Australia next month for a little while if that helps ,?
