Is it true that when applying for DTV as a Brit you only need to have had the 500k+ THB in your account for 1 month? And also to confirm I MUST 100% apply from my home country now, not a border run etc?

Thanks

However, don’t assume the extension will automatically be rejected. The officer may look at the company’s overall documents, including:

* PND.1 for the relevant months

* Social Security records

* Thai employees’ employment dates

* Company financial statements

* Work permit

* Company registration/shareholder documents

* Whether the employees were actually employed during June

Since your visa expires Wednesday

I would not wait. Ask your accountant immediately:

1. Why were only 3 Thai employees filed on the June PND.1?

2. Was there a 4th Thai employee who was actually employed but accidentally omitted?

3. If it was an accounting mistake, can the June PND.1 be corrected/amended before your Immigration appointment?

4. Does the Social Security filing show 4 Thai employees for June?

Do you actually have 4 thai staff during the period? If so it seems quite an oversight for an accountant.

yes he assumed that there can be 3 staff as the fourth thdi staff was only part time but was registered in social fund

@Ronnie *****
as long as the part time staff member meets the minimum wage requirements, I don't think just being registered in the social fund is enough

Ronnie Pony i recommend you to talk with the agent or the accountant who do the visa service for you.

They might can help you about this..normally the accounting should remind you about 4 thais staffs in advance before your visa expire…

However, you should contact with agent/accountant soon and submit the documents at the immigration before your visa expire…

Ronnie Pony if you have 4 Thais staffs on SSO, then you should have 4 Thais on PND 1 as well.…
