so.. for folks who’ve filled out for the LTR or other visas that have financial requirements:
can a screenshot of the money in my account hold up or does it really need to be a statement that shows an ending balance of 16,000 USD (in the case of the DTV)?
like… if I pull 3 thousand from my friend and screen shot will that work or will I need at least 16K in my account long enough to get a monthly statement attesting to the fact that my ending balance was 16K?

Screenshot won’t do. It needs to be an actual bank statement with your name on it.Richard ********
what is a document indicating your current location ?

OP@Richard *******
Depends on your consulate / locaiton. In Germany, our national ID card does the trick. Other countries: driving license, utility bills.Richard ********
@Frank-Steven **********
in Germany your ID indicate your current location ? !!!!!Frank-Steven ***********
OP@Richard *******
Yeah. Not sure why. But it is like this for many years. Since the E-Visa system they ask for this with every visa application. Maybe, because it has got the current home address in Germany printed on it.

OK, wollte immer schon mal einen Kochkurs machen. Die Frage ist ... Für die 5 Jahre einen Tag oder Jedes Jahr einen Tag

Pity Non O visas can't be for 5 years....

OP@Jim **********
Some can. Non O-X is 5 years - can even be extended to 10 years.Connie **********
So it costs ฿10k for 5 years, and must have ฿500k in a bank account, but it doesn’t have to be Thai account and doesn’t have to be for a specific length of time.
Visa for 5 years, can enter on day 1, get extension at 180 days for unknown cost. At end of year, do a quick trip to another country, start your second year in country. Does this sound right?

From what I understand the extension is 10k baht but you can do 180 x 10 border bounce instead of 180 + 180 days extension + bounce repeat 4 more times. Less costly to bounce every 180 days.

still not clear

I doubt the Thai authorities would let DTV holders live in Thailand pretty much continuously for 5 years (unless they really want the extra $10,000 per extension). So, a single 180 day extension every 5 years is what I think the visa rules will be (though I hope I’m wrong).
What do you think Tom?

@Matt *****
I can't get my head around it, I'm on a retirement 1 year extension. Would the DTV be more beneficial or not. Less monies required, but it don't explain what you need to keep it valid. The retirement ext. You need to always have at least 400k then bump it up before renewing to 800k. This is where the DTV might be better. But I don't know!!!

@Connie *********
you save a lot money (if extension is 1900) and time in 5 years time...Ivan ************
@Seba*****
it's also not clear that the extension will be 10k. I know there was talk of that when it was announced but every other extension is 1,900, regardless of the type or duration. It could go either way but I suspect the extension will be 1,900 same as everything else.Frank-Steven ***********
OP@Sebastian ******
Again 180 days (without paying again). That is the purpose of a multiple entry visa.
Sebastian *******
@Ivan ***********
An extension costs 10k baht. But what if I leave after the initial 180 days and re-enter let's say 5 month later. Do I have to pay or I am just getting the initial 180 days again?Ivan ************
@Matt *****
it explicitly says the extension is 1 time "per entry", not per visa. This is what would be expected, all other extensions are per entry.Connie **********
@Matt *****
That would make no sense though, since it’s valid for 5 years. Why pay so much for a 5 year visa when you could just do 2 visa exempt entries with extensions and get 180 days for a lot less ฿?Connie **********
@Tom ***********
This is more info than I’ve seen so far, and looks interesting

Is this something you process?

Am I correct in thinking this doesn't apply for tourist, only available if you want to do work, sport or education etc
