How can I obtain a long-term DTV visa for Thailand with limited finances?
How's it possible to get a soft option DTV that lasts 5 years???
That's a lot of cooking and music festivals lol
I'm skint, but I have a Thai girl who owns her own condo and has a bank account. What can I get away with?

Answer summary
The possibility of obtaining a soft option DTV that lasts 5 years is complex and often involves financial requirements such as a minimum bank balance of 500,000 THB. Comments suggest that personal connections or assets, such as a Thai partner's condo and bank account, may not be sufficient alone. There are also various opinions on alternative options like marrying a Thai citizen to secure a Non-O visa. Additionally, there are concerns about the scrutiny of ongoing visa status and documentation requirements over time.

You dont need soft power of 5 years. People get/got away with some weeks training or even 1 dentist appointment at some embassies.
But This is Thailand and too good to be true. Maybe they will check in some year(s) if you still have a valid reason when entering. Maybe they won't.🤷♂️
At least for extension for the extra 180 days you have to reproduce all the intitial paperwork at this moment, so that would be hard with a short course or treatment

Nothing . It costs money and money is needed to be in your own bank account

You’re going to need to somehow acquire 500k and then go off to a nearby country to apply. The fact that your girlfriend owns a condo and has a bank account is irrelevant.

What if she also owns a car?

@Garrett **********
she can drive him to the borderStuart *********
@Garrett **********
Oh well then if that’s the case you get free entry in to Thailand and can stay as long as you like. Car owners are important here…..Stuart *********
Just in case someone thinks this is actually the case then please note I’m being facetious.
