Hi everyone,

I’m preparing my application for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) and wanted to ask for some advice regarding the financial proof.

I have a bank statement from Revolut covering the period from March 1, 2025 to August 9, 2025 with a current balance of €15,045.15 (well above the required 500,000 THB). The statement clearly shows my name, account details, and the balance history.

Question:

Will this bank statement be sufficient for the DTV application, or do I also need an official bank letter / balance confirmation from Revolut in English?

Thanks in advance for your help and experiences!

Hey everyone, I’m thinking of applying for the DTV in Ho Chi Minh City soon and trying to get clarity on the financial proof requirement.

I’ve got more than 500,000 baht in GBP sitting in my UK bank account, but it’s only been there for a few weeks. Some places say it needs to have been sitting there for three months, others say it doesn’t matter.

Has anyone here applied in HCMC and got approved with less than three months of bank history?

I can also include a sponsorship letter from a parent with their bank statements and proof of relationship if needed, but I’d rather just use my own funds if possible.

Would really appreciate any recent experiences or advice. Thanks.

Hey everyone, I recently applied for the dtv visa and I got approved. Now I need to apply for my spouse, my question is do I need to provide financial proof for her that she has 500,000 baht?

If yes, would my personal bank account work if I have 1m baht and I write a letter sponsoring her fully for any financial needs? Thanks

I can’t believe I’m still confused after so much reading and inquiring. I’m in the USA and planning to apply online for a 90-day non O “retirement” visa.

I thought there were no “bank account” requirements to accomplish this first step. I understand the 800,000 baht seasoned for two months in a Thai account for LATER but if proof of funds IS required just to get the non O visa can somebody please clarify that for me? Yes, I can research elsewhere but I prefer hearing the details from people who really know the facts. Thanks.

Is it possible to show the 500k TBH in a WISE account?

I recently call a Law firm in Bangkok about the 1 year retirement visa requirements. I was told that a change was made in January of 2025. Forcing all new requests to make it mandatory to place 800000 Thai baht in a Thai . And can not be touched. Then I went on line to Royal Thai consulate in Los Angeles web site- it states 800000 baht OR 65000 baht a month. Which is it?

First stop Bangkok Bank for Confirmation Letter ( I already have the statement) The girl said to me, I need to have 400 or 800k baht in the account for 4 months. I said I don’t use that method, I use monthly method, she goes and speaks to the Manager, comes back and says, they cannot do letter. I go to the branch in Robinsons (where I got my statement) as it’s now open, explains the story to the girl, she prints off Confirmation Letter and I pay her 100 baht, she explains that the rules have changed. I head to Immigration (Roi Et) with all the docs required as per Koh Samui list. He checks the statements and asks where the money is coming from, I say the UK as they show as FTT transfers, as required. He says, but I want to see proof of money going into your account in the UK from your pension provider, luckily I have April 2025, on my phone. Koh Samui had never asked for such proof in the last 10 years, I don’t know if this requirement is new or not, and I pass the info on, for anyone who it may affect. 🙏🙏🙏

Hi everyone,

For those who’ve applied for workcation recently, could I ask a quick question about the supporting documents?

Did you include a cover letter, a portfolio letter, and a financial letter, or is that too much? Are all three necessary, or is there anything else I should include to be safe?

Also, for the 500K financial proof, is it okay to submit both a bank statement and a screenshot showing the balance from my mobile banking app? Just want to make sure that combination is acceptable.

Thanks so much in advance for your help!

Hi everyone!

I'm applying through HCMC on a soft power visa. Just got a request for supporting documents.

All pretty straightforward, except for proof of monthly income, ending with: "Additionally, please describe your plans after completing the course while holding a 5-year visa."

I would naturally go with something along, "if all goes well I would like to enroll in an advanced program" but I'm wondering if there are any red flags I'm missing.

Had anyone been asked that, and if so, what would be a proper answer?

Thanks in Advance

I am married to a Thai and applying for the O retirement visa

Being married do I require 400,000 baht or 800,000 baht in a Thai bank?

Also what is the maximum amount that I can transfer to my Thai Krungthai bank account from Australia?
