Hi everyone,

I submitted the request for DTV 

I have way more than 500.000 Thb in my whole banking assets but less on my liquid bank account (part of the money is in liquid investments).

I moved on the bank account part of them in order to reach 500000 thb but I cannot change the situation for the past 2 months and I have to leave in October (already bought the flight).

Did someone experience a similar situation ?

Answer summary

The user is facing issues meeting the financial requirements for a visa extension due to having less than 500,000 THB in liquid funds but significant assets overall. They are seeking advice from the community about experiences and necessary documentation to ensure they can leave Thailand smoothly in October.

Immigration is not interested in who pays the bills, well they have never asked us that question. All we do each year is get a neighbour's to take pics outside by house number plus inside, change of shirt required, letter from Embassy stating income in.NZ, map of how to get to our place from immigration. Letter from Amphur saying yes we are married (21 years now) think my wife takes house book and that's about it plus fee. Although this year they gave me two new forms to fill out, one is an avvidavit of family relationship and the other is acknowledging the penalties for overstating.

Has the owner filed a TM30 stating you live there? A necessary item when applying for an extension, get a copy of the receipt from them. And as

@I**

suggested visit the immigration office where the TM30 is filed and ask them for a handout explaining their requirements for an extension of stay based on marriage

DaringDolphin618 really? No bank statements showing you've had the 400k in your thai bank for 2 months, no letter of guarantee from the bank, no updated bank book etc

Go into your immigration office and ask what is required. Take your wife so there is no misunderstanding. I assume this is your first one because utility bills have nothing to do with the extension.
