Hi,

I am doing my first land border run from Koh phangan to Malaysia and back the next day.

Someone has mentioned that they will ask me to prove I have the 500bhat still in my bank account. As far as I was aware you just go get your stamp , reset your 180days and come back.

Has anyone else experienced being questioned about proving you have the money in your bank account ?

Thank you

Hello

I would like to inquire about applying for a DTV visa to Thailand from Israel.

I am an Israeli citizen and hold an Israeli passport, but I am not a resident of Israel.

Next year, I plan to visit Israel and, during my stay, I would like to apply for a DTV visa.

My company is registered in Hong Kong (not in Israel).

Do you have any information or experience with similar cases — applying for a DTV visa through Israel while the company is based in Hong Kong?

If you’ve encountered such cases before and they were approved, I’d love to know:

Is this procedurally possible?

On average, how long does it take from the time of application until the visa is issued?

Thank you very much

DTV-approved (Workcation)

Applied in Jakarta. Submitted on May 18. The status stayed on "pending document check" until May 28 when they requested extra documents. I uploaded the documents on the same day, and the status changed to "pending approval." Get approved on 29

It might be helpful for someone: as I am Chilean, I sent all the documents and bank statements in Spanish. I just added one page in English describing what was attached.

Good luck 🍀

Hey guys what is the best embassy for the DTV (quickest turn around) I have the requirements. I have a condo in Thailand so I don’t want to be paying rent while I’m waiting outside the country for my visa to be accepted.

I’ve been told kuala lumpa/vietnam are a quick turn around.

Thanks in advance people 🫡🤝

Hello ☺️

I was hoping for some feedback.

Do you need a passport to fly from Phuket to Bangkok for proof of identification?

My friend who needs to fly with me has a Thai drivers license and I only have an identification card from Australia. Both our passports are being processed for work permits.

Obviously it is up to the airline’s discretion, I’m just curious if anyone has a negative experience where they have not been able to fly domestically within Thailand without a passport.

Thanks so much 🙏🏽

Sorry if this has been previously asked, but I couldnt find a post about this.

Is it possible to do my 90 day report at Chamchuri Square if I originally got my non-B visa at Chaengwattana? This is just a standard non-B visa.

Thanks in advance

All I've been thinking about the last couple of days is how "money talks" in Thailand. I got dressed in my Sunday best today, waltzed into a UOB and said I was moving to Bangkok, needed an account b/c I was transferring approximately 10M TBH into the country. He never flinched. Asked if I had a work permit. I said "no" - never asked for my passport. Said to try Bangkok Bank and to have a nice day.

What a waste.

Hi, i am planning to apply for dtv visa in hanoi as I read many people received their visa within 5 working days. Is that correct?

Also for bank statement, i have 500k baht in my bank account so would it be okay to just submit the latest bank account? I read their requirements on their website and they didn’t mention anything about holding for 3 months or 6 months bank statements. Can someone help me with this? Thank you!

I saw some people on here already cancelled their DTV to switch to Non-B/Work Permit

Question: Did you need to leave the country to do it? If you did not, how much did it cost to get the Non - B/ Work Permit......(This question is aimed at teachers mainly)

Has anyone managed to open a bank account in Koh Samui with a DTV visa?
