Can you obtain a DTV visa without the 500,000 baht requirement?

@Pat *****

it would be interesting to know.

@Greg **********

there are several things going on here. if you use the onlne evisa system and provide proof of income, that's totally legit. other people are talking about using an agent, and faking the required funds. there are agencies that will do this, not all will. it is not legal, and while many have gotten away with it, it is a recipe for being arrested, deported and blacklisted if caught.

@Frank ****

please draw a difference between the income proof for an E-Visa application processed by a Thai embassy outside of Thailand, as with these an agent based in Thailand has no direct connections, no possibility to bribe directly, except he is faking documents for the applicant, and the application to the extension inside Thailand, for which agents use their connections with corrupted Immigrations to circumvene the rules. It is illegal, everybody knows it, and despite that it is widely commonplace

@Greg **********

some agents (in Thailand)will help people get visas by faking the financial requirements. The e-visa system makes this difficult if not impossible. Many agents in Thailand will assist people to get visas without committing fraud, some agents in Thailand will cheat for profit. Some people act like the dishonest agents are not breaking the law. I assure you, if they are cheating on the financial requirements, they are. You're correct, its not possible to cheat the e-visa system. No agents pissing in the soup, so to speak.

@Frank ****

watch your terminology: outside of Thailand, you apply for the visa, and agents have no connections to the e-visa system. Inside Thailand, agents help you NOT to the visa (which you already used up when you entered Thailand) but to the EXTENSION of the STAY PERMIT - for which they pay tea money to their connections on Immigration. It is not the Embassy E-visa system agents can bribe, it is Immigration's stay-permit system they can

@Greg **********

indeed, I think that is what I said, or tried to.

@Greg **********

i cant do it in public post , last time i did that they deleted my comment and warned me .. to ban from group..

But if you already doubting about this, then you haven’t seen nothing .. what money can do in thailand :) :)

@Pat *****

of course I know what money can get done in Thailand. . . I live here since 30 years and I already have worked in Thailand . . . But we are talking about if money can alter anything OUTSIDE of Thailand, if money can alter a process that relieson the acceptance of a Thai embassy abroad. Which is a whole different story than agents bribing authorities INSIDE Thailand

@Greg **********

for DTV its just documents what you need tô preapare, before you go and admit them outside country.. all tuhose documents you can get from thailand . Just need to give passport.. from your side … thats all …

After that its 99% that you will get your visa from Vietnam embassy or Cambodian .. or others …

Thats was the point i am trying to explain..

@Greg **********

well if you are not going to follow Thailand rules then ……silly you

@Si *******

criminal.

@Pat *****

you are dreaming

@Pat *****

can refer an reliable agent with that price?

There’s have many other ways we can not talk in public

@Chan ************

so not legal!!

@Chan ************

you're speaking of fraud and bribery.

No, we don’t need to offer any bribes and it’s legal. Some agents provide that service. How do you think “under-the-table” money works every time? LOL

@Chan ************

under the table money is a bribe

@Chan ************

legal 555
