For the DTV is the 500,000 baht requirement just for your current balance? Or do all 3 bank statements you submit need to be above 500,000 baht?

My closing statements are:

August $20,000 (650k baht)

Sept $15,300 (498k baht) at today's exchange rate

Oct $18,000 (580k baht)

Nov $19,000 ($610k baht)

Am I going to be rejected because of my September statement?

Are there certain consulates that are bad and good for this?

Have USA Passport and applying for Workation Freelancer.

Thinking of applying in Taipei, HCMC, Hanoi, or Manila. I'm already in Asia.

Hi! Last December I arrived to Thailand and left for a 3 week long trip to Cambodia before exceeding the 60 days, around the early days of February. I came back to Bangkok at the end of February. Stayed until the end of April, then returned to Hungary, my home country.

I travelled back to Thailand at the end of September (so I spent 5 months outside of the country) and will fly to Vietnam this weekend. I have never exceeded the 60 days before leaving and never had a visa extension. I plan returning to Thailand in the middle of December. Should I worry about getting rejected and start thinking about applying for a visa instead of getting the usual stamp at arrival?

I want to apply for the DTV visa but under soft core heading how would one sign up for activities when you are not currently in Thailand. Would Immigration issue the visa on the basis that you will sign up for a course when you arrive in Thailand.

Hi

I have received

my NON-O retirement Visa and will be leaving on the 11 of Dec 25

To Bangkok Thailand

I have secured a condo

For a year s lease

And will take the necessary docs to immigration and then to a Bank to open a Bank Account my question is what steps to take to deposit the required monies into the new Thai bank after opening this bank account

I can have the required monies

Sent directly to bank in Thailand thru USA bank

But that would take some time

Hours days ? does bank allowed

Time for monies to transfer

As I would not have the required deposit on my person

Please advise as to how to

Accomplish this task

Thanks

Quick question, does the 90 day reporting rule apply for the DTV VISA if you're in the country for more than 90 days? Also can it be done online or do I have to go to the immigration off office? I had a look online it the visa it applies all other visa except DTV? Maybe the site I was reading hasn't updated it for the DTV VISA because it is fairly new.

Hi everyone,

Has anyone done a same-day border run in the last day or two?

I have a METV and I’m scheduled to go with Chiang Mai Border Run tomorrow, but they just notified me that their “collaborating immigration officer” won’t be on duty, so same-day re-entry isn’t guaranteed at the moment due to the unstable immigration rules.

I’m concerned because I’m not prepared for a 2-night stay, and my current extension is only valid until 11/26. Any recent experiences or advice would be really appreciated.

Thank you!

Can someone please clarify...

I am currently on a Business Visa (sorry if wrong terminology) and I want to transition to a retirement visa.

Is it correct that my company cancels my Non-B and I then apply for a Non-O, or something else?

What is the time limit between business visa cancellation and retirement visa application?

Anything else I should know that is unique to this transition?

TIA 🙏
