Can I apply for a Thai DTV visa while in Japan on a short visit visa?

Patricia Ann Gardner it sends them to my email. then I print them out. IDK what else to say. If I request a statement on my app it sends it to my email. It's very simple

@Patricia *************

you obviously need to print them out

I hope to find out soon sir… im 64 headed there in a couple months to see if it fits me for retirement. Been doing a lot of research lately seems like it just work for me.

Gerar Teuben not sue about most people but many are experiencing issues. I used BB for my immigration only account for the last several years.

Because of the Wise rerouting change thjs year I needed to switch to Kbank mid year and therefore dealt with the processes with both banks.

Simply stated BB was much more difficult to deal with then Kbank

Gerar Teuben they have changed

Gerar Teuben EVERYONE has problems with BBK. Literally thousands of posts of problems.

Brent Rothsay sorry Brent. Been back there twice already with no issues. Even got smiles and a greeting from two of the tellers.

Arguing doesn’t mean being belligerent.

@Brandon ***********

I spoke to the cashier in the branch and she said it’s just an internal transfer, it doesn’t say from where the money came from. I needed to speak to head office. I’ll be sure to do that next renewal.

Gerar Teuben how do you figure?

@Gerar *******

so the people with marriage visas who the bank has decided to freeze their money for 4 months every year is self inflicted? How? Because of the visa they're on?

Paul Franklin isn’t it obvious?

I did exactly what you suggested for SEP 2025 when Wise made the change. I was concerned and went to Bangkok Bank immediately. They said they would not issue credit advice for that transaction.

I went then to K-bank international desk (fortunately I had an account there as well). Kbank was very helpful and provided a credit advice letter.

I was still concerned it was not simple an clear enough for immigration so I made an additional deposit in SEP 2025 and the rest of the 12 months into my Kbank account.

In the end Immigration did not accept the Wise~>Kbank~>BB docs and handed that paperwork back to me. The kbank direct transaction was accepted instead.

John Pollins be careful with the assumption that WISE transfers automatically show as having come from abroad. WISE uses their Thai Kasikorn account for the last step, so your bankbook could well have it listed as an inner-Thailand domestic transfer. When you set up the WISE transfer, make sure to tick the box where you tell them that you want it to be coded as having come from abroad. If you don't do that, some of the transfers will show as domestic

@John ********

Wise statements are meaningless from a Thai immigration perspective. If the transfers are not coded as international on your bank statements your only option is to get that confirmation letter for each transfer that doesn't show as international. This usually means you have to go to some other Thai bank as if your transfers arrived directly into your Bangkok bank account they would normally be coded correctly

Paul Franklin this is my experience as well with BB. I also asked for a 13 month statement if possible; May 2025 to May 2026. I was told that is not possible.

K-bank on the other hand issued the statement in one 15 minute visit. Additionally issued the 13 month statement with no problem.

Paul Franklin that's okay, some banks need two days, some need a week, my SCB bank branch told me they would print it on the spot

Ian Ramsay the essence is that you remit ฿65,000 per month with foreign transaction records. The banks should be able to provide documents to show these transactions.

Sure if you don’t have enough pension to do ฿65,000 a month then you can do the ฿800,000 and complain you don’t get any interest or pay an agent probably the equivalent of what you could earn in interest to work their magic to pass Immi.

If you don’t have ฿800,000 then the agent fee is coming out of your pension.

John Pollins Yes Krabi wanted the letter also. They now want 4 pictures of me in different parts of the house and in front under the house numbers but showing the entire front. Then a drawing of the streets to the nearest, main road. I showed them the Google maps which actually has a picture of the house with the route highlighted as a route. Mind you I have a Thai dl with that address and lease for the second year in a row. It feels like times are getting hard & they're looking to take it out on someone/thing. IMHO

The pictures requested are usually for a marriage visa & mine is a retirement Visa.

No, they were explaining the rules which you have to follow like everybody else. 😳

John Pollins you contribution to Thai economy is like a teardrop in an ocean, I think you are grossly overestimating it

ThrillingKoala6126 yes it's only Bangkok Bank who are proving to be one of the worst options for foreigners
