Are 500,000 THB proof of funds required upon arrival in Thailand for a DTV visa?

@Sefton *******

yes they can ask to see your finances , but there's no chance in hell they would be insisting you maintain 500k for the duration of your visa , it really is bonkers that people think that

@Sefton *******

immigration asked for proof of financial documents I said here, I didn’t say he was denied to entry. He is in Thailand now anyway. I just answered from the experience. Not everyone was asked but it happened.

@Luit ****************

it would be in black in white if it was a requirement, but it isn't

I guess you want my opinion as you use my name.

Keep going on mixing all to a giant coctail to keep a discussion going.

Why not keep to one subject without moving to all kind of other things.

What is the job description of an Immigration Offier and is the officer allowed to check the reasons an visa is issued before the officer stamps a passport with a certain period of time to be in Thailand. Can an Immigration Officer file the case to a court to get a visa void?

OR are you willing to discuss the terms and conditions of a visa, which is as you said, correct. You apply for a visa meeting the requirements and the visa stays valid until the day mentioned on the visa, OR getting void by court order OR getting cancelled by the visa holder.

What is next? the funds in a bank for an Extension of Stay?

@Lu**

to clarify, the wager is My point - "Visa application conditions are NOT ongoing requirements after the visa is issued, unless expressly stated" vs Your point - "Visa application conditions ARE ongoing conditions regardless if they're stated in official sources as such or not"

@Lu**

look, I'm not a gambler but how about a friendly wager? You prove me wrong, not just saying so, with references/official sources/heck I'll even take a video from an immigration official, and I'll donate 10k baht to the Thai charity of your choice? I'll give you a week. At the end of the week if you can't prove me wrong, therefore proving I've been correct all along (I've provided my official sources dozens of times for you now), YOU can put up 5k baht to the Thai charity of my choice? You can get help from the other two

@Robert ******

and @John Stanners, split the 5k idc 🤗

You now just show the visa requirement will be checked at approval time, that does not mean the requirement will be void after that moment.

Anonieme deelnemer 314 just show that black and white, you will fail....

Anonieme deelnemer 314 you keep replying funny, but never show where the requirements for funding are described different, and where is stated that DTV requirements are only for a moment.

I know why you keep failing, just because it is not true what you claim.

Anonymous participant 314 NO, there is NO rule about funds that must kept with a Retiremet VISA

@Luit ****************

with any visa that requires you to maintain funds , they clearly state that in black and white. It's never vague.

@Lu**

Again for possibly the 50th time just for you, The DTV is issued under the Immigration Act B.E. 2522. The 500,000 THB requirement appears in MFA application guidance as proof of financial capacity at application. Ongoing obligations are governed by Section 37 of the Act. There is no published Ministerial Regulation stating that the 500,000 THB must be continuously maintained after issuance. Entry screening under Section 12 is a separate matter.

@Luit ****************

This was funny first few times this was asked but just getting silly now, there is no requirement to maintain funds with DTV , other visas like retirement visa it is clearly stated how much and how long you have to maintain funds.

@Chris *********

When it is on all the official information it should be easy for you to show just one piece of that information that distinguishes between "ongoing" and other types of requirement, but up to now you were unable to do so, you only spout your own theories and when somebody tells some experience that does not match your holy theory, you put it away as "agents are full of crap", you are just pathetic.

@Luit ****************

No worries, Chris is the one who runs to the airport with 500K to help everybody out.

Luit it's literally on all the official information 😂
