ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello

I have a DTV visa. When I applied I had 500,000 Baht in my personal account. Now I have a company in Hong Kong and I keep the money there. Will the company's bank statement be accepted for visa extension?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The local Thai Immigration office will not accept a company's bank statement for a DTV visa extension. It is advised to have a personal account with a minimum balance of 500,000 Baht for at least 30 days before applying. Many users suggest doing a border bounce instead of attempting an extension, as in-country extensions can be risky and complicated.

Until they change the rules next week after reading these posts, they may start asking for proof of funds at all borders.

Why would you wanna do an extension? It's a big hassle and close to impossible. Just bounce in and out TH.

It is possible for those who meet the initial application requirements. Many expats on other visas face stricter yearly requirements. The issue is that many people can only maintain these temporarily for the duration of the application process.

Extensions are not "Close to impossible". There are guidelines of what is required and people just doing them. A few have posted success but it is more likely that those refused have posted. They clearly did not meet the guidelines.

The COMPANY bank account statement will NOT 🚫 be accepted by the local Thai Immigration office for the DTV extension of stay. Do yourself a Big favor... just do a BORDER BOUNCE to get the DTV visa 180 day extension.

you don’t need a company. Just book a flight to a neighboring country and spend a few days and come back.

In country extension? I wouldn't risk it, because anything that can go wrong will go wrong with an in country extension. The account you're showing should be in your name and the balance of a minimum of 500k for 30 days before you apply. Just bounce.

Once the 500k for 30 days is clear then guidelines for extension are clear. Some slight differences over proof of residence.
