I'm currently living in Bangkok on a yearly retirement visa. I'm heading back to the UK before my visa expires for a few weeks visit and am thinking about applying for a DTV whilst in London to return on, soft power Cooking. Is there likely to be an issue related to the fact that I have a retirement visa still or have been here for a number of years on different visas? all legitimate. Any friendly advice welcome.

Hi all... I'm going to Cambodia this weekend to submit the DTV application. And I'm trying to complete the Cambodia e-arrival card. However, I have a question. It asks for departure date from Cambodia. I have a flight scheduled on May 7. But I know that's too soon as I won't receive an answer yet on my application. And it will cost me more to change the flight than take a bus. So I decided to skip the return flight and take a bus about a week later (although I don't know the exact date since it depends when I get the DTV). So I'm just wondering if in departure date I'm supposed to put my scheduled flight date because that's what it shows with the airline, even tho I may leave a week later? Or should I put the date of a week later?

Was asked to submit April bank screenshot (Manila) on the 24th at 2pm, submitted it on the same day at 3pm. Just got another email asking for the exact same thing on 25th at 2pm but the portal doesn't have "document request" or anyplace to upload documents this time and instead changed to a yellow "pending approval". Was that 2nd email an error or something?

Hey guys, anyone from South Africa that applied and got their DTV visa that I can chat to? How many month bank statements, did you do it in South Africa, etc

Is it possible to apply on the weekend as we fly out on a Tuesday and we have to apply three days before

Did anyone apply for your DTV through the Los Angeles consulate? How was your experience with them?

I am applying for the DTV visa. I have the required funds and evidence of such, however I spread my funds across multiple accounts. It's a safe practice in case a card does not work, is blocked, lost, stolen, or if the bank shuts down (First Republic bank in the US).

My question to the group, has anyone applied and been approved providing bank statements from multiple accounts?

Additionally, when applying in the US do they consider retirement accounts as funds (not required me for) but I was curious since I have so much in my retirement accounts.

Thanks everyone!

I sent my application to the Thai Embassy in Washington DC this past weekend, and I am waiting for approval. I'm considering booking a flight from America to Thailand for this coming weekend. I assume that the application won't be decided by the time I arrive in Bangkok. I will use the "entry on arrival" 60 day. The flight will be booked as a roundtrip with a return in June. If my DTV is approved after I arrive should I go to emigration or can I wait until I leave? Any issues?

Thanks.

If I have more than 500,000 THB in my bank account and I want to apply for the DTV visa, will I be asked to show for proof of monthly income? Does it even ask for proof of income? I’m getting mixed answers so I need to clarify.

Hi guy's.

I'm 46, unemployed as I don't need to work anymore.

I want to apply for the DTV visa.

I have a Thai bank account with the 500k.

I have the letter from the Muay Thai school for 1 yr that I attend every day.

I have a 1 yr rental contract for my apartment.

I've seen from lots of different people's post's that they asK for proof of employment etc.

I obviously can't provide that as I'm retired.

Has anyone else applied in my situation?

Thank you for any feedback.
