I am looking to relocate to thai early next year. Atm if I can prove monthly income of $3000 a month though I may have the 500,000 thb saved up before then but if I don't before I need to leave is the $3000 monthly sufficient ? to get a DTV VISA ? And I researched it's validity is 6 months at a time.  Is visa runs legal ? Let's say I go to Vietnam for a few days and return to restart a new entry ??? Please advice

Answer summary

The user is considering relocating to Thailand and questions whether a monthly income of $3000 is sufficient for obtaining a DTV Visa, given they might not meet the savings requirement of 500,000 THB before leaving. They also inquire about the legality of visa runs, such as traveling to Vietnam for a few days to reset their entry. Responses indicate that the primary requirement for the DTV Visa is having 500,000 THB in savings rather than a minimum income, and that visa runs are legal, allowing for a fresh entry stamp each time.

Anonymer Teilnehmer the DTV… but if its a shorter stay then just come as a tourist in visa exemption. do extensions and a border run and 6 months are done… for 1 year an education visa is also an option. but if you can then just get the DTV.

You need to prove SAVINGS not INCOME

For what purpose are you applying for the DTV Visa ? Not everyone gets it. It's NOT 🚫 a sure thing.

Read the posts about getting the DTV visa on this forum and carefully choose the right reasons with supporting documents for your application.

he hasn't a clue really. He needs to do more research first and understand the criteria

Yep 👍

exactly. Wanting to be in Thailand long-term without having to do a border run isn't a reason for them to grant it. It would sooner be a reason for them to deny it.

Doing a border run is fine, you get a fresh 180 day stamp every reentry. You must have 500K saved or via a sponsor to apply for the DTV, no minimum income requirement.

The only financial requirement is 500k baht in a bank account in your name.
