Hi guys. What additional documents do they want to see for the DTV?

They state: "Please provide details about your current work, including (1) your CV or portfolio, and (2) examples of your work, along with any supporting materials that demonstrate your experience and qualifications."

I am confused: I already provided a letter mentioning that I am a business owner/property manager and manage an airbnb in NYC. I provided the listing and a proof of income for 2024 & YTD 2025. I also provided the documents of my LLC.

Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you!

Just a few Questions Regarding DTV Visa

Just spent 7 months out the last 12 Months in Thailand 😍 only been back a week and missing it 😂

I will be applying from the UK

1. Does the 500,000 Baht have to be in your bank account for 3 Months and show on your statements it’s been there for 3 months or Longer? Or can you make a transfer into your account before you submit the application?

2. Is the 500,000 Baht in your bank account checked on arrival in Thailand after being approved?

3. Been seeing and hearing you have to also show that 500,000 Baht on 90 Day Check In - Re entry After 180 Days

4. If I wasn’t to have the 500,000 baht in my account how does the sponsorship letter work?

I'm still confused. I am trying to go the OA route and one must apply outside Thailand (TL).

I won't have the 800k thb (no comments please) but I earn 100k thb each month social security and have for 1.5 years. Soon to start collecting on a pension, LTR eventually). The US LA Consulate page has three options for income verification for the OA:

1. 800 thb in bank last 3 months;

1. income certificate for 65k thb (US embassy does not do this)

2. "or a deposit account plus a monthly income totaling not less than 800k thb (in one year). In the case of submitting a bank statement, a letter of guarantee from bank (an original copy) is required."

It goes on to say "Recent bank statement showing the applicant's name and ending balance of no less that $30,000 or proof of monthly income of not less that $2500/month along with the current bank statement showing incoming income."

Question: If Im outside, how would this have to be in a Thai bank? Can't set one up without a long-term visa.

FOR MY FIRST 90 DAY Visa Extension Check-in, do I have to go to Immigration exactly on the 90th day? Or are there a window of days grace to check-in around the 90th day?
