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
A user is seeking information about the DTV Visa requirements for filing from the U.S. Comments include suggestions to join a Facebook group for specific information and details about application requirements such as proof of funds, proof of income, valid passport, and accommodation booking. Processing times and the importance of having complete documentation before applying are also discussed.

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
