Hi, I need help and suggestions for applying dtv for the first time from Spain. I only have 500k THB in my business account and I don’t have any movement in the past 6 months in my personal account at all and the amount is only 10€ that I have in my personal account.

I’m not sure if there’s any option to apply for this? Like using sponsor account? without having to wait for another 6 month to build my personal account.

Thanks :)

I’m still confused about which visa fits my situation. Can’t work on the ED Visa and i don’t currently meet the financial requirements for the DTV. Is there a visa that allows me to work remotely and stay in thailand for at six months or a year? Without the $15,000 in the bank.

Hi all

If you are on a 90-day Non-Immigrant Visa and have been in Thailand for 2 months with the 800,000 in the bank and you have just applied for the Non-Immigrant O-A (retirement Visa),

Can you leave Thailand whilst waiting?

Do you have to be back in Thailand to receive the Visa?

What happens if you are still out of the country when the visa comes through?

Thanks

If anyone has experience of applying through the London embassy: My partner is polish and has a polish passport, but is an Irish citizen as she has lived in Ireland since she was a child. Should she have any problems applying for the visa through the London embassy does anyone know?

DTV Success Story 🎉

I wanted to share details on my DTV approval as this group, and a few members helped me along the way.

- I applied online December 12th and was approved on December 16th through the Washington DC Embassy (Texas Resident)

- I applied using the Soft Skill route and signed up for a year long seminar through discoverthainature.com and couldn’t recommend the program enough if you go this route for approval. Paperwork provided within 10 minutes of payment.

- Showed 1 bank statement with $16k+ USD and 2 years of tax returns

- Showed a bill and a license photo for proof of address

- I did not buy a flight. I put the flight #s of the flight I expect to take

- Set my dates of expected stay to 150 days

- I was not asked to provide any other documents

I’m open to messages for those with questions. Wishing everyone the best on their application process!
