I just re-enter Suvarnabhumi with my DTV and the agent is asking what I am doing here after taking pics of my few visa exempt stamps I got before in my passport.

Then pressed the yellow button for supervisor and she started questioning why I am here. I said medical, she asked to see my new appointment and asked why I don't do this in my country. She said because I had visa exempts before but now I have DTV, it's ok. Then I don't understand why they need to bring supervisor?

Also got stamp until 4th of November. Is this normal?

So there is still grilling involved even with DTV.

Hey 👋 Has anyone had a DVT visa and then had a new passport, did it need transfering or could you stamp out on your old passport and then the new stamp coming back would go into the new passport ?

🙏

For the LTR visa, anyone know for certain whether the financial requirements only applies to the main applicant and NOT the dependent. For example, with the Wealthy Global Citizen's 1 million+ USD total asset (including at least 500k USD investment in Thailand). Does it mean if I am the main applicant and my wife is my dependent, we just need 1 million total, and NOT 2 million, is this correct?

Hi all,

I applied for my extension of stay based on marriage at jomtien immigration.

Firstly it was very quiet - only took an hour and the immigration was super friendly (normal quirks of different requirements over different years)

Anyhow at the end my wife was asked to complete 2 new forms I think they were mvp10 and mvp11

This was an affidavit to for the wife to sign to say that we were married - wasn’t sure of the other form as I was getting a few photocopies at the time

The other major difference was them asking the source of funds in the bank - I just said savings / investments.

Hope this helps others.

Hi Guys, my wife & I are moving to Thailand in August, and have a list of questions that we can't seem to get a proper response on. None of the Thai Consulates here in Australia seem to be taking calls at the moment and we have no local one' that we can visit. We have also sent emails to the consulates but not receiving a response so thought that I would try here as we really need the information to be able to proceed further. We will be applying for the 90 day Non Immigrant Retirement Visa from OZ, then doing the 1 year extension from Thailand, so our questions relate specifically to this visa only.

We would appreciate the correct advice relating to this and are gratefull for your advice.

Non- immigrant O VISA – Retirement - 90 days (First 90 days)

To meet the financial requirements can the 3 months deposit into an Australian bank account of a total of 65,000 BHT (per person per month) be from other sources not from a State Pension?

Can the money be in a joint bank account (husband and wife)? Are the financial requirements for both applications taken from this same account?

If the 65000 BHT deposits per month per person is acceptable – can you spend the deposited money, or does it have to stay in the account for 3 months and not be touched?

Can a superannuation statement be used as proof of having adequate funds instead of a bank statement?

Non- Immigrant O Visa – Retirement – 1 year Extension (when in Thailand)

Is the financial requirement for the 1st year extension, to deposit 800,000 BHT (per person) into a Thailand bank account for a period of 2 months?,

OR

is there another option to have 65,000 BHT deposited (per person) per month for 2 months?

If the 65000 BHT deposits method is acceptable – can you spend the deposited money, or does it have to stay in the bank account and not be touched?

To open a bank account - Can we apply for a certificate of residency certificate once we arrive, by showing 2 months paid accommodation. The accommodation is rented from the owner through Airbnb.

Rental agreement – How long does the rental agreement need to be for?

Does the Thailand bank account need to be in separate names for a husband and wife or can it be in both names?

How many years can we renew the non-immigrant 0 visa – for retirement purposes?

On a retirement Non-immigrant 0 Visa – can my wife enter as a dependent on my Visa, if she is over 50 years old and Australian? If yes, can a bank account be in joint names?

Can a superannuation statement be used as proof of having adequate funds instead of a bank statement?

Thanks so much!

Starting to feel a bit defeated. We (60+) are coming from Canada in September but struggling to find a visa that we can make work for us. My husband and I are able to scrape together 800,000 baht for one Non OA visa, the rest of our money is in retirement portfolios (RRSPs).

I was thinking I could come on a Non O trailing spouse 90 day and extend to match his once we arrive. Has ANYONE done this??
