Good morning

I currently live in Chiang Mai on a Non O with yearly extension, if I relocate to say Hua Hin would the renewal process and 90day reports be straight forward or would I have to go through extra processes?

Thank you.

Hello everyone, questions about additional documents!

It turns out the embassy I’m applying from -Nepal- ask for flights in and out of Thailand too but there is no place in the application form to attach them.. so I was thinking to wait till they ask for additional documents- that’s what they do before rejecting right? And when they ask for additional documents, do they ask for them to be submitted online? Because I won’t be near the embassy after tomorrow…

Also my entry date to Thailand is 21st of December yet my visa in Nepal ends December 12 (im gonna do 15 day extension) would that be an issue?

Has anyone tried the Timekettle translation devices? If yes what model and was it in a one on one or group setting? Love some feedback as they seem to get good reviews.

DTV rejected from embassy in Singapore, even though I meet the criteria

For context, I am a Singaporean applying for the DTV as a remote freelance worker (I’m registered as a sole prop under ACRA). I’ve gotten my visa rejected even though I meet all the criteria (sufficient funds of min. 500K THB for 3 months)

I waited until I got my October 2025 bank statement, and this time I was sure that I had the minimum amount for 3 consecutive months - Aug, Sep, Oct 2025. I had all the other documents prepped and ready so all there was left to do was to compile the PDFs, and submit.

They emailed me the next working day requesting for more documents- those that didn’t have the upload field in the original application, such as the letter explaining my work, my ACRA business profile, and they even asked me to reupload my passport photo, because the background was slightly yellow (from scanning) instead of white. What confused me the most was that they said I had insufficient funds for October.

I took a second look at my October statement, which had more than enough funds. I thought maybe it was overlooked, as the 3 months’ of bank statements from multiple accounts totaled to about 42 pages.

I submitted my October statements again, and received an email saying my visa had been rejected due to insufficient funds in October.

It turns out that my bank statement did not reflect that I had the funds at the end of the month- it was only reflected in the account summary. For that, they claimed there’s no proof I have the funds. I emailed them to clarify if this was what they meant, but I haven’t gotten a reply so I’m going to appeal in person.

I really want to get the visa. Has anyone had a similar experience? If so, please share!

Hi :)

Want to check relevance for dtv so here is some background on me:

Currently in Thailand. And plans to leave for Hanoi in a week to get the visa

Working remotely for an Israeli company with a pay slip and everything, one year already.

I got the 500,000 today in my bank account. But in the last 3 months there was in the bank about 200,000. It makes sense to get the visa or it's risky?

🙏🏻Thanks

Hello everyone,

I'm from France. I just got a PhD in Al and would like to focus on a personal project for one year. Renting a condo in Bangkok would be perfect for me, my goal is to work a lot while keeping an easy life alongside it.

Is there a way I could apply for a DTV as a digital nomad without clients?

I have more than the required 500k THB in my personal savings account and have had it for years. I wouldn't have any income this year, but I have enough to live on.

This project would take all my time, so I'm not sure that applying for a soft power activity is a good idea. But if you know any not-too-restrictive activities in Bangkok, I would be interested.

Thanks to anyone who takes the time to answer me.

Proof of finances - screenshot for November?

Hello everyone! My November statement isnt here yet from one of my banks

I attached two different banks with required amount and 6 months of statements for each but the first bank with higher amount didn’t send November statement yet - so I took a screenshot where it does show November date for some transactions and the amount and attached to the pdf

It’s the first image on pdf and I fear they will reject me without looking at the rest..

Would they look at the whole thing? Would they ask for November statement as extra later or just reject me? Because it should come in a few days but I don’t wanna wait to apply as the country I apply for requires me to be near embassy to pay in person with finished application and I won’t stay in this city much longer..
