If my wife and I are both going to take Thai cooking classes should we both apply individually for DTV, or one apply for DTV under soft power, and other apply as spouse of DTV member? Is there a pro/con to either route?

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice

I’d really like to continue staying in Thailand

long-term, but I’m a bit stuck on what visa options are realistically possible for me right now.

I’ve already been on an ED visa for the past 2 years (through an agency), so I don’t think continuing the same route is a good idea anymore.

I was considering the DTV visa, but I don’t currently meet the financial requirements (not enough funds in my bank account), so I’m not sure if that’s still an option.

Has anyone been in a similar situation?

What visa options would you recommend that are actually doable (and safe) for staying longer in Thailand?

Also, if you’ve had any good (or bad) experiences with visa agencies, I’d really appreciate your insights.

Thank you so much

I got the DTV visa last year and spent a few months in Thailand and a then few months in India. Do I need to show the amount of 500,000 baht per person every time I enter Thailand?

Hi everyone,

I’m applying for the DTV visa from Turkey. To avoid currency depreciation, I want to keep the required 500,000 THB in my USD savings account, but the account has almost no activity.

Is this acceptable?

Thanks!

This isn't clear to me so please can someone clarify: when we put 800000 in a bank account in order to get a retirement visa, does it have to stay deposited and never go under 8000000, or can it be withdrawn as we wish, at any time ( but having a smaller balance)?

Hello all, I'm german and I want to apply for a DTV.

Im in thailand right now on a 60 day stamp which runs out 2nd of January. Im planning to leave to another country then to apply for the DTV.

Im a freelancer for many years and work for 2 clients in Germany in the online marketing sector. My company is an american LLC.

The only issue I have is that I only have the 500k THB in my private account for a couple of days now. I had it in my business account (which is run under my company name, not my private name) from the beginning of this month, but not prior to that.

Is there any chance I can still apply for the DTV in January somewhere?

Thank so much ♥️

If I use the agent first year for non o visa in Thailand and decide to deposit 800,000 baht following year, can I renew the visa without the agent or do I need to get a fresh non-o visa (apply outside the country).

Hi, Coming from America interested in DTV I am unmarried accompanied by partner and 12yr old child. Main question is, due to us being not married would we both have to show 500,000 baht in separate bank accounts? And would my 13 yr old need a visa as well? Also read that there is no actual income requirements to prove after recent change? Any and all help is greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Can anyone recommend a visa service that keeps up to date on Non O visa requirements. The current service I hired has completely screwed my application for the Non O immigrant visa with incorrect financial and banking information provided to me.
