Hello , we have a question , hopefully someone can help us with the right answer . The case is : Via our Embassy we can apply for the Non O visa , one of the requirements financial is the proof of income 65.000 THB . Our visa consultant tells us that enough to show them .

Asume everything is accepted, we are now entering Thailand , will they accept us on the same proof of income ? Or will they demand to have the 800.000 THB on our just opened Thaibank account to get our one year extension ? I could nowhere find a satisfying answer 🤔

I want to prevent that I don’t have access to my money , I’d rather invest it in Bitcoin .

Mods, feel free to delete if this is too off topic. I have a question about visa transitions. If I did an ED visa to learn Thai, but wanted to transition to the DTV soft power eventually, would I get denied if I used the same school for both visas?

For context, I am trying to move by a certain time frame. In order to meet the 500k baht requirement, I need to sell all my things, but I would need that money in the bank for at least 3 months. So I figure, if I did an ED visa, I wouldn't have to meet that requirement, and it would give me time for my money to sit in my bank account long enough to then apply for the DTV visa.

I want to do the soft power DTV to learn Thai, but I'm curious if that will look weird or bad going from an ED visa to DTV with the same school or if that's even allowed.

Any insight is welcome! Thanks in advance.

I am coming to Thailand with a non-O visa, valid for 90 days, applied from Belgium. I must complete the TDAC form no later than three days before arriving in Thailand. Upon arrival in Thailand, I must report to immigration within 24 hours with a TM30 document. With my passport and proof of residence, I can open a bank account with the aim of applying for a one-year extension. My question: If, during my 90-day stay in Thailand, I travel to Cambodia with my girlfriend for a week and then return to Thailand, do I need to complete a new TDAC form before arriving in Cambodia and also before returning to Thailand? Do I need to have a new TM30 document completed upon returning to Thailand? Will my non-O visa remain valid? Do I need to report to immigration again? Thank you in advance for the information.

Hi all. New to this and learning a lot. My question is regarding the soft power DTV.  I believe if granted it covers you for five years, but you need to check in every six months to extend. Does that mean that you need to be enrolled in one of the soft power activities every time you check in?



✨✨ My DTV Soft Power Thai Cooking (Arun Thai Cooking Class) visa has been approved in Laos. Everything went super smoothly, and all the required documents were arranged within just one day.

My DTV visa journey (Thai Embassy in Laos):

Applied online → paid the fee at the Thai Embassy in Laos in Thai baht (cash only) → waited for my interview appointment → had the interview and received the result on the same day.

Total time: 11 days from application to approval.

My son is coming over next week on a single O Visa from the USA to get a bank account setup and other things in preparation for a move.

After <30 days he will return to the US to get ready to move.

Is the O Visa canceled after he returns to the US?

Does he have to reapply for Another O Visa to return?

Does anyone know, if a husband and wife are applying for a DTV through a Muay Thai gym, is it enough for one person to apply to the program and then their spouse can apply by being the spouse of the person training at the Muay Thai gym? Or would they both need to buy a membership from the gym to qualify?

Hi All, I'm currently in my home country and applied online for a Non-immigrant Type O.

Today I've got a request for more documents: *Please upload the bank transaction money in CURRENT ACCOUNT for LAST THREE MONTHS showing your name and the balance, the amount income monthly not less than 65,000 THB or total balance 800,000 *THB*.*

1) Can I provide the entire balance of my portfolio and not the transactions? Because that amount of money is in the investment portfolio in the bank.

*2) (e.g., bank statements for the last three months, sponsor letter) -*"Sponsor letter" - does that refer to the same bank guarantee letter they use to ask?

Hi all,

I’m submitting additional documents for my Thai Non-Immigrant O visa. They requested: “Bank Statement 800,000 THB for the last three months.”

I already uploaded my statement two weeks ago. I have two bank accounts, and I’m planning to submit summary pages for each account showing the balances for the last three months.

My question: is it enough to submit only the summary pages, or do I need to provide the full transaction history for both accounts?

⚠️ Please only reply if you’ve actually done this recently—looking for advice from real experience, not general tips.

Thanks a lot! 🙏

I have my electronic OA visa. Will have copy printed out when I travel to BKK. Will immigration attach copy to passport?
