If I want to show as many funds as possible, just to make my approval chances higher, how it may work if I have 2 banks and savings divided between them?

Can I submit 2 statements and cover letter explaining the whole sum recalculated into THB? (Please leave a comment if yoy have done it this way).

Or will it be better to transfer and accumulate all my funds in 1 bank?

Does anyone know if it’s accepted for the DTV visa when the required 500,000 THB are held in a business account – provided I can prove with documents (e.g. business registration, shareholder proof, accountant’s letter) that I am the 100% owner and have full access to the funds?

Or does the balance strictly need to be shown in a personal account under my name?

Just got my Non-O Visa here, very excited, cannot wait to start a new life and visit the new Central Park Mall in Bangkok. My goal is to extend / replace my Non-O to a year-long stay as many times as possible. I need a comprehensive view on how I may achieve my goal starting from taking the flight to Thailand, including how often & where I should report my stay to the Thai immigration office、how man I find a 1-bedroom condo within a week after my arrival、how to open a Thai bank account........and so on.

Many in this group had provided me very valuable advice to help me take the very first step, even though I don't know you, Thank You ! And Thank You for more useful advice to this post.

Scan of passport & Flight Confirmation

From what I read, quite a few people have been asked to hand in the scan of their complete passport, including the blank pages, but only after they applied.

Would you recommend to wait for the embassy to ask for the scan of the complete passport or would you send it directly with the application?

Do I need a flight confirmation? If yes, only one way or return flight?

I plan to apply from Vietnam.

Hi, my DTV application got rejected in HCMC yesterday. 5 working days, no additional documents asked.

I applied as Thai soft power, here are what I submitted:

1.Passport first page

2.Photo

3. Vietnam visa and stamp, Hotel confirmation, Boarding pass

4. Asset certificate for 1 year shows every month had more than 1M THB (under financial products category, not deposit), A copy of Chinese ID card(I thought only the ID number was needed, didn’t do the translation), Two motorcycle green book copies (I have tow motorcycles in Chiangmai)

5. Thai soft power 6 months course related documents.

And about the basic information I had put in, for the home address part, I thought they were asking for the address I am staying in Vietnam, so I wrote my hotel address and one more address in my country (China)

Now I want to try again in Laos, hope I can get some advice about what I did wrong.

Thank you

Hi. Do I need to do a 90-day report if I am leaving the country in just one week? I'm on a DTV. I did my first 90-day report in person, but since I did it a few days early, I was given a second 90-day report date that is one week before my DTV stay-permit expires. Just now, I tried to do the 90-day report online but it was rejected for some reason. Do I really have to make this report if it's just for 7 more days? I will be departing by train next week, the day my stay-permit expires. Thanks.

I'm at the confirm your application page and I noticed something off. The first "Passport / TD" line is the country of my passport, and the second "Passport / TD" line is my passport number. The "Number" line is blank, and I'm not sure if that's actually where it's supposed to be. I'm certain I put the number in the right field of the actual application, and every other line here is correct. Has anyone had this happen, is it normal?

And a question about my last name. In my passport it looks like there might be an extra space, so it reads "MC FARREN" instead of "MCFARREN." Maybe it's a typo but my name has only ever been written out like the latter. So I'm wondering if I should just write it as normal, same spelling of course just without the extra space?

I know this all might seem like overthinking but I've seen people get rejected/cancelled for minor things like this and I don't want that to be me 😭 Appreciate any advice, especially people who applied from Jakarta.

I am currently in chumphon on a normal 30 day we entry visa...wanting to apply for a retirement visa....I have 6 months bank statements for proof of incoming pensions...I know I must get health insurance and an apartment...do you suggest a visa agent to help or should I just get a 30 day extension and keep on...how long is the process once applied for.

Hello,

I’m stupid and forgot to do the 90-day report. I just figured out and next week I have a flight to Krabi. What will be the consequences for that? Do I need to pay a fine when flying domestic? Do they even check it? Please only answer if you have experienced this situation before or know it for sure. Thank you na

I have done my 90d reporting in person successfully. Then I re entered Thailand and got new stamp. Does the next 90d reporting have to be in person again or can it be done online now? I was told the first one has to be in person, but wasn't clarified if it's the first after each entry or the first ever and then all others can be online.
