Hello,

I have a bit of an odd situation. I have a DTV, and am living with my long-term GF from Europe who doesn't have. Immigration has become more strict and having doubts she'll be let back in when we go back.

We can't do dependent DTV because Thailand doesn't recognise common law marriage.

However it just so happens we'll be travelling to Taiwan in a couple of days, and I've just emailed their embassy. The embassy says we can apply through the E-Visa Portal, and we have to comply with the requirements set out on their embassy website.

The thing is, on their embassy website, it doesn't specify the need to hold 500k Thai Baht for 3 months, just that you have 500k Thai Baht in the Account and can prove it.

*"Financial evidence: amount of no less than 500,000 THB OR equivalent amount in foreign currency e.g. bank statements OR sponsorship letter covering living expenses."*

In that case, I'm pondering a few things and would appreciate any insight or help into any of the points.

1) Could I just transfer her like 20k EUR from my account a couple of days before, and would that suffice? No need for 3 month proof when reading their site...

2) If the visa application was taking too long, could we cancel it before they've completed their review? We only have a set amount of days in Taiwan, and we're due back to Thailand for a wedding on the 3rd of Dec. All flights and accommodation booked, so I dont want to lose it.

Hello everyone!

As a French citizen, embassy is asking me to show that I have 15k€ on my bank account for the last 3 months to get a DTV. I’ve got the money right now on my bank account, got it every month of the year, just not in October. Is there any chance that would still be accepted by immigration? Or I need to wait February to apply to have 3 months with more than 15k€ on my accounts?

If anyone can testimony that they got denied or accepted, I would love that. Thank you and have a good day 🌞

Evening folks quick question , I am applying for the non o visa in England and I’ve got 20k in one account , do I need to to show 3 consecutive monthly statements ? Or is the latest statement enough . Thanks Tony

Apologies if this has been asked and answered however i have just spent the last 30 mins looking. I am looking at the DTV as an option, can someone confirm::

1, Do i need to have the 500k bht in my account each time i enter Thailand ie is there a possibility it will be checked?

2, after 1 year do i need an extension or is it valid for 5 years? The info here is confusing, my issue is if i am not in Thailand on the anniversary i would need to make another trip to renew every year?

Thanks,

Hello everyone,

My fiancee and I are moving to Thailand in January and I’m hoping someone here can point us in the right direction regarding the DTV visa.

Over the past year my fiancée hasn’t been able to work due to health issues, so I’ve been the only earner. Because of that, we haven’t saved much.

I *can* show over 500,000 THB in income from the last 6 months through invoices, but I don’t currently have that amount liquid because I reinvest a lot back into my online business.

My fiancée has recently started a small freelance gig too, so we’re both digital nomads. Just without the full liquidity right now.

I read on a few websites that a sponsor can be used for the DTV visa. My father is willing to write a sponsorship letter for both of us (so 1M TBH in total), but I’m not sure if that’s actually allowed or accepted in practice, and if this specific case is an option.

Has anyone here used a sponsorship letter for their DTV application?

Any guidance or experience would help us a lot.

Thank you all in advance!

Question about DTV via UK business owner:

Hi everyone, I plan to apply for the DTV via route A (buisness owner, freelancer, foreign talent).

I own a UK company that provides scientific and engineering research consulting, specifically in battery chemistry, materials and electronic engineering.

I have over 500,000 THB in my personal bank account, from consistent salary+dividends (3 years of self-assessments).

However, I do not have any active consulting contracts at the moment, as I’m taking time for buisness strategy planning, professional development and further research.

Will lack of active contracts be a problem for DTV approval? Thanks

Hi, just for clarification.

To the ones already holding a DTV.

A ) Can the 500.000 be in a savings account?

As in, can I show two separate accounts for both- the last six months freelance income and the 500.000 baht deposited somewhere?

Both are in my name.

Or, B ) Does it all need to be the same account?

C ) Has anyone successfully listed a sponsor, or would you not recommend this?

Thank you 🙏

We are uk family of 6 4 kids ages 19-15-9-6 years have a business online & relevant funds my question is when we apply for the dtv do we apply as a family or do we have to apply individual and do each individual person need 500.000 tbh in there own names or is it a different amount for a family im wondering do I have to put £12000 in each of my kids banks for a 3 month period to apply as we don’t plan on moving there until April due to work commitments here so have time before sending in the applications??

Hey! Has anyone been approved for the remote work DTV applying in London while only recently taking a new remote role?

Hi, I will be applying for a 30 day extension on my Non O visa which expires in 3 days time. Just wanted to know if I will have to also show funds in my account again for approval. If so, how much?
