Hi everyone, this is kind of a long question so please excuse me.

I wanted to clarify the qualifications of the DTV Visa. I would be applying for that in Taiwan, which is where I’m currently living at. In fact, I heard the embassy here is rather smooth and easy to deal with compared to other places.

What I particularly wanted to ask about was the ฿500,000 qualification. I’m not sure whether it makes a big difference which option to check between “workation” or “freelancer”, is one option easier to use than the other?

Also, when it comes to proving that you have the ฿500,000 does it matter how long it’s been in the account? In other words, if I just transferred it, and it shows that it’s been in the account for just a day or two, would they give me a hard time?

How strict are they when it comes to proving that you work as a freelancer? In my case, I would be doing private tutoring online, in addition to investments, but I’m not sure if they care about how much you’re bringing in per month for that job, or they only care to see if you’re working at all? If they don’t care, then I guess all I would need is proof that I’m working for that employer?

Sorry for the long question, and thanks in advance!

Non O Marriage Visa Extension re-entry financial requirements

Hi Everyone,

Am I correct on re entry into Thailand with a re entry permit with a Non O Marriage visa extension that you don’t need to show 20,000 baht cash etc ?

And that’s only for tourists on visa free entry and tourist visas?

Thanks in advance 🙏

Low income - High bank balance

Did anyone apply with low income (monthly 500-600€) in the last 3 months and double/triple amount of minimum bank balance, and got rejected with freelance contracts?

I have been on a Remote Worker DTV for 5 months.

Immigration didn’t give me the 180-day extension because half of my money is in the U.S. stock market and the other half was not in my Thai bank account for 30 days. All my other documents were fine. I still work for the same company.

I will make a visa run and enter through Bangkok airport.

Is there a high chance they will refuse my entry?

Do they want to see 500,000 THB in my bank account and check that it has been there for 30 days?

My grandfather would like to retire in Thailand from the US. He’s not very computer savvy so we are going to help him. We are looking at the Non-O. He receives a monthly social security payment around $1500 and has a chunk in savings. Is it possible to combine the savings amount and his social security for the Non-O? And would it be best to apply from the US or from within Thailand? He wants to go mid-January.

Hello!

I’m from the UK and wanting to apply for a DTV at the beginning of 2026. I’ve been doing lots of research online but figured it’s best to ask people who have experienced the application process themselves so I’m 100% sure on what to do.

The DTV stands for 5 years, whilst living in Thailand, do you have to visit the embassy every 6 months or do you have to leave the country every 6 months and then re-enter? Can you also be denied re-entry at any time?

I know you need 500K THB when applying, do you need to keep this balance in your account at all times so they can check you still have this much money when you get re-checked every 6 months?

Any answers/advice to the above questions would be super helpful, thank you so much in advance😊

Also, feel free to DM me, I’m up to have conversations with people about their DTV experience!

Planning to apply for soft power DTV visa in Hanoi.

My current funds are on Wise. Should I transfer everything to Revolut then apply? It would be the right amount.

Please advise. I can also show both accounts I guess.

Revolut has my daily spending.

Wise has my clients transfers.

Is the US a good country to apply for DTV from?

Hi People, My Non O visa expires on 7th Jan 2026, what is the next stage to remain here in Thailand on a permanant basis.

I have sufficient funds in the bank for over the last 2 months.

I have a TM 7, but is that the correct form to stay here.

Hi all!🤚 This is my first post and the question ❓️is very specific regarding the LTR visa. All I know is the info in the pic. What order do I take steps to get the visa? Suppose, I go to Thailand ✈️to open the bank account💰. How much money has to be in the account? What's the next step? What other documents do I need to prepare before flying to Thailand? Would 3 - 4 weeks be enough for obtaining the LTR visa before returning to England? We own a condo in Pattaya in case it makes a difference. Thank you all in advance, bullet points in the correct order would be much appreciated 😇🙏
