Good Morning! I am planning to leave to Thailand next year June and was wondering if anyone had information that they could give me in regards to the DTV Visa and the requirements if I’m filing from the U.S? Thank you.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around obtaining the DTV Visa for Thailand, with a focus on the application requirements for U.S. citizens. Key points include needing proof of 500,000 THB in a bank account with a history, proof of income from abroad, a valid passport, and accommodation booking. Processing times vary by consulate, taking 1-3 weeks. It is also advisable to refer to a specific Facebook group for more insights and ensure all documents are in order to avoid complications.

If you’re applying from the U.S., the main things they’ll check are: proof of 500k THB in your account (with history, not just a screenshot), proof of income from outside Thailand, valid passport + accommodation booking.

Processing takes about 1–3 weeks depending on which consulate you use. Each one can be a bit different, so don’t just copy someone else’s experience.

Make sure your docs are solid before you apply. I also recommend you get a proper guide/book for more information about Thailand DTV to avoid confusion and costly mistakes. That also helped me
