Hello everyone!

I am planning to apply for DTV visa from Vientiane at the end of the month.

I live in Bangkok and I will get a document from my bank about the amount I have ( more than 500k).

Do you think this is enough or they would ask for bank statement for the past 3 months?

Thanks is advance 🙏🏻

I wanted to say it’s amazing how much conflicting information you can get regarding all the different visa options for entering/retiring to Thailand. I saw someone say if you talk to 10 different agents/experts you will get 10 different results and that appears to be true. So after much reading and deliberation and asking questions here I believe I have finally arrived at the best option; GET DRUNK! No just kidding.

My best bet appears to be the Non-O marriage visa as I am married to a Thai woman. It requires the fewest hoops to jump through and has the smallest amount of required money I need to keep in a Thai bank, etc. I am still not 100% sure if I have to apply online here in The US, or if I can come to Thailand and then apply for the visa, but I am going to go with what Brandon Thurkettle has told me because he seems to be extremely knowledgeable on the subject; I will do the application here and then get the bank account after arriving there and do whatever else I have to to secure our retirement in my adopted country.

Thanks again for all the help and I hope to run into some of you Farangs when we get there in the next couple months. Peace from Seattle, Washington, USA.

Hi all,

Do i have to report my stay and in what periode of time i have to extend my stay or extend my visa and were.

I am from the UK and have permission from my employer to work remote long term (Web Developer for UK clients)

I will be applying for my DTV visa at the start of next month.

My employer has sent me a new updated contract stating I work for a UK company and work remotely.

My main question is:

My 500k Baht is currently in investments and my checking account has not had that amount of money in for some time.

From what I have read it is okay to sell my investments and move the money into my bank account however I won't have proof that it has been there for longer than 1 month (I see people saying it needs to be in the account for 3/6 months)

I do however have regular employer payments going into the account

Do you think l will be okay applying?

I am applying online via the thaievisa.go.th site, not through an embassy in person. Unless I am misunderstanding this?

If I apply for a DTV from the USA, is there any stipulations of length that I have to prove how long I've had my 500k bhat in the bank before applying? Thank you 🙏🏻

Hi everyone! 👋

Excellent news: I got my DTV visa yesterday through Muay Thai School! 🥳

I just wanted to thank you for all the topics and advice available in this group. It's super helpful! 🙏

I went through a French agency based in Paris and Thailand to be sure not to forget anything, and also, at a really affordable price! For French people who are a bit stressed, I recommend them: visathailande.fr/

As I live in Bali, they applied at the embassy in Jakarta. Excluding the weekend, it only took 4 days! 🚀

Here are the documents I provided:

* Passport (valid for 6 months from the departure date)

* High-quality photo of your last entry stamp in Indonesia

* ID photos (less than 6 months old, taken with the smartphone ID app)

* Rental agreement + my Indonesian visa (in Bali for me)

* Bank statements (I provided 6 months, and I only had the 500,000 baht for about a week, no problem)

* Letter from the Muay Thai school (which takes care of everything).

Good luck to everyone and have a good day! 😊

Hi … How long does the 500,000 bht need to be sitting in a bank account when applying for a DTV (dental). Thanks.. Edited as requested. Location of application will be carried out in England, United Kingdom…

Hey everyone.

Has anyone been approved out of germany?

Will it be enough if I show them only one month of 500,000 baht in my bank account?. Also which embassy should i apply from? I live in Niedersachsen and in total there are 3 embassies in Germany as far as i am aware

Hello everyone,

I am getting lot of important tips from this group but seems like there is not a lot of information about getting DTV as a dependent spouse😅

My spouse got his DTV in November. I am going to apply in HCM in 3 weeks time. I have 500k in my account but I don’t work. How long does it take as a spouse? Would it be faster since they already gave DTV to my husband and I will be the dependent?

Would really appreciate it if you share your experience on this 😇

Hi all, just 1 question applying for a non o visa from London, is it right you have to show £18,000 in bank account, tia
