Can a retiree with a monthly pension of 180,000 THB obtain a DTV visa in Thailand?

@William *********

yes

@George ******

only 180k. No visa for you

@เต๋อ ****

it’s a pension not an income…

@John ********

Yeah that's pretty easy to do as a single person but if you throw a couple kids or a wife in there you're not really living large. Yeah you can get by on a hundred pretty easy as a single person. Just getting on over retirement visa and renew it every year checking every 90 days I think.

@John ********

change to Pool lady and I might get interested 🤔

@Amanda *******

as long as you can prove that the account is in your name, for the DTV application the bank account can be anywhere, not need to be in your home country. And it needs to show a minimum of 500,000 THB equivalent in any currency. Some embassies want to see a seasoning of 3 months, some others want to see 6 months account balance statements, some others just want to see the money in the account on the day of application

@Amanda *******

is it home country? What if the money is in another country?

@Amanda *******

I thought it was 800,000?

@Jim *******

180,000 a month isn’t enough. LTR needs 233,000 per month

@Jim *******

wast off money....

@John *********

what do you mean by soft power options sir? I was thinking of learning some new Thai skills…asking because I’m curious about DTV but don’t have 500k…I try invest income mostly. It never sits still.

@John *********

as a retiree, that travels a lot how will that work?
