Do I need to show proof of income annually with the DTV over its five-year duration?

@Hussain ******

as far as i understand it the most important part is the financial proof. the contracts wont matter much. you could just present old ones. no one will thoroughly check these highly individual documents. but financial proof is the main thing as the mfa and io are telling us.

@Robert **********

yeah I watched that video, seems like you will need a new recent bank statement, and probably copies of all the other documents, assuming they are still valid. Seems like the bounce may be easier.

@Jasmine ********

but in this context it means just going out of the country at the border and coming back immediately (which is a bounce somehow)

@Jasmine ********

litterally this is bouncing

Anonymous participant 271 thanks..that's a relief!

@Alma **************

there has now been a report, that when a guy I know asked, Immigration Hua Hin about the requirements in case of an extension, the immigration officer said he wants the proof of 500.000 THB in a bank account, if he opted for the extension. They then told the guy he would be better off to bounce, as by the border nobody would ask him for his bank account details. I know the guy personally. I am not the one who would pull fairy tales out of the nose.

@Alma **************

Take it as a statement for the moment and not a prediction of the future. The representative makes it clear during the interview that immigration has the final say on allowing entry and that the DTV may be subject to changes.

@Andreas ********

500,000 bht is only requirement not that difficult. You don't have to show all other documents it just am extension not a new application you have already been granted the 5 years

@David *******

like I said there has been a report that Hua Hin Immigration wants 500.000.- THB in a Thai bank account in your name, if you want to extent a DTV inside Thailand for 180 more days. Then another officer approached and told the guy, just exit and re-enter and you will be fine. As far as these "new" rules are interpreted, I suggest you do your own research, this is the updated rule on DTV extensions. Go have a Thai friend translate it for you

@Andreas ********

this is not new so what are you saying it is the same as l explained in my previous post. Read it again it's not difficult to read if you know Thai why do l need a friend to read it. It's simple. I don't understand why would l leave the country to do an extension that I am entitled to do. If you don't have the money in your account best you do s border bounce then. You are going to believe in " there has been a report" do your own research l am fine with mine

@David *******

I dare to take a bet that 90% of all young digital nomads who now have successfully been issued a DTV, do not hold 500.000.- THB in their accounts all the time, by no way. They are paying for their living with these funds. Not everybody is a rich pensioner

@Andreas ********

your making a generalisation and it's just your opinion try sticking to the facts when giving visa advise not stereotyping you don't know what people have and that issue is up to them to solve.

@James *******

This video published today, is the best knowledge we have. It is the same guy who conducted an interview back in July who gave us the first legit information when there weee rumors swirling. Everything he said in that interview became true. He is the Deputy Director General for Consular Services. He wouldnt on purpose spread rumors. In this interview, when questions related to taxes, etc come up, he doesn’t answer them, showing that he understands the limits of his knowledge/exposure. %3D%3D

@David *******

1 no one has extended a dtv yet, they've not been available long enough to have run out.

2 a dtv extension is a one only option of a further 180 days for 10,000 baht.

@David *******

you are still incorrect. extension = proof of documents again, especially financial proof. thats what the MFA says and thats what the immigration offices are telling us for months. not sure why people reluctantly refuse to believe those officials. lmao

@Dany *******

have you applied for an extension yet better still do you have a DTV.

@David *******

i will extend my DTV soon and i contacted my immigration office multiple times. it doesnt get more official than officials from MFA and Immigration telling you. And you could also start reading the law text that explicitly tells you that you need 500k… so my IO wants to see the application documents again. but most importantly a fresh financial proof. they also said i could do a border run. this information has been out for months and confirmed multiple times by different IO and the MFA. not sure why you are still a disbeliever. in the end the IO extends my visa. and they will do on their terms.

@Dany *******

I read what the other person posted which is l don't know from where as it wasn't a complete document with any official insignia or stamp from Thai immagration. It was in Thai only asked for 500,000,bht nothing more. As l said l will believe it when l get my extension it's a tourist visa so should be same as any other tourist visa extension. I will go 14 days before mine expires

@David *******

Thai Immigration Bureau Order No. … there is your official document for DTV and its extension. But i guess you still insist on not believing official information :D

@David *******

Did you watch to new MoFA interview? Granted it is MoFA, not Immigration, but in the new interview he clearly states that Immigration will want to see updated documents and if your original training was only 6 months, you would need to show a new schedule /tuition.

@David *******

We will see about that.

@Robert **********

Check out the new video of the Mofa interview posted on this forum, and you’ll see that you’re correct. 👍

@Robert **********

so you have a DTV now then

@David *******

there have now been several reports that Immigration wants the proof of 500.000 THB in your bank account, again, if you opt for the extension. So you are better off to bounce as by the border nobody will ask you for your bank account detail

@Andreas ********

🚫 NOT TRUE, nobody has obtained the DTV Visa extension yet in Thailand. ALL else is RUMORS

@Andreas ********

thanks for your helpful reply.

@David *******

Yes. And that has what to do with extention requirements?

@Daowfa ***********

🚫 NOT TRUE
