What are the requirements for the DTV Visa in terms of the 500,000 Baht bank balance?

Anonymous participant it's fine I was responding to

@David *******

Every now and then we get a moral high ground guy in this group quick to assume we are "bad for Thailand"

Reality is some of us are richer than. The nay sayers lol.

Youl be fine if you can show bank balance of 500k lasting three months

Anonymous participant no worries. David has a point however...this entire visa and change is aimed at rooting out low spenders and attracting high spenders so the more focus you can put into showing those funds the better. Your also going to get asked at airports to show it again when you enter Thailand and potentially every 6 months also. If you don't have that cash in an account go for an education visa, you can enter on a three month tourist visa then extend it by one month more to get 4 months. Give 50k baht (£1000-1500) to a reputable visa agent to set up the education visa for you and go for the Thai language course. That will give you a year without issues and youl learn the local language. You can also do Chinese, russian, german etc.

That's what I've done for a few years I'm only getting the DTV as it's five years and allows me to work for my UK company without issues

Anonymous participant just because you stayed here for 7 months doesn't mean a thing. What visa were you in visa exempt 555. Yeh it's an advise group but the basics you need to know you are asking here questions so you can short cut the system. Try it and good luck

Anonymous participant look online in Thai govt it's all explained there search in here type in key words it's all here. Sounds like you don't have money. It's easy to apply if you are not trying to scam. You don't have to explain yourself just be warned immagration are searching for these people who borrow the money anf they will kick them out
