Hello, I've seen a conflict of answer to this.... do dependants of the main DTV visa holder (my children, 9 and 7yrs) need the £11k in a bank account aswell?

They technically are obtaining a dtv visa aswell and that is one of the requirements to have that amount of money but, they are dependant on me?

Has anyone been through the process of getting this visa with children?

Thanks for any advice on this.

Hello! I have 3 bank statements. For my August and October bank statements I have over 500,000 baht but for my September bank statement I have 465,000baht. I’ll also have over 500,000 baht the day I apply do you know if that will qualify? Or will I need to wait 2 more months to apply so I’ll have 500,000 baht for October, November, and December? I’m applying for the soft power dtv. I already got my letter from the cooking class. I’m wanting to apply through Vietnam. Was planning flying into Vietnam on the 17th of November to apply. I’m open to apply in another country not far from Thailand if that embassy will be okay with the bank statements I currently have. Thank you!

When coming in to bangkok with dtv visa first time , the immigration officer ask to show bank statement ? please share me the experiences 🙏🏻

Looking for some advice on the marriage visa

I always see people asking about the 400k in a Thai bank account, but I also saw there is an option to have a stable income of 40k+ equivalent deposited in a foreign account monthly over a twelve month period. Has anyone ever gone this route instead? Is there anything else I should know about? This would be my preferred route, especially since all the trouble with the Thai banks recently and having 400k locked away that I can’t touch.

Is there any actual requirement for how long the 500,000THB must be in your account for? I’m seeing nothing online about there having to be a strict time frame however it seems they’re less likely to accept if less payslips? Thanks for your help!

O-A application question

I am at the point where I need to upload 3 months of Bank statements and the bank letter for proof of income. The application has one upload box for all 4 docs.

Am I wrong in thinking that these need to be combined into one pdf? It looks like only one file can be uploaded to that field.

My bank statements are 11 pages long for each month. Do they want the entire statements of just the first page with my name address and ending balances?

I am applying from Pakistan. Do i need physical bank statement signed by bank and then should i upload its picture? Or digital bank statement emailed my bank is ok?

Hey guys 👋

I’ve got a few questions about the DTV visa, hope someone here can share some experience:

A bit of context:

I’m currently in Thailand, and my visa will expire in the middle of next month.

I plan to go abroad to apply for a DTV visa, but right now I only have 3 months of bank statements available.

1 Embassy on the invitation letter

Does the “soft power” invitation letter actually say which Thai embassy you have to apply at?

When I applied, I told my Muay Thai organization I’d do it in Vietnam, but now I’m thinking of going to the Thai Embassy in Laos instead.

Would that be okay, or could it cause issues since the gym already submitted my documents for Vietnam?

2 Applying at a different embassy

I haven’t applied yet, but I’m wondering if anyone has experience switching embassies — like planning to apply in Ho Chi Minh City but later going to another one (e.g. Hanoi or another country) using the same invitation letter.

Is that allowed?

3 Bank statement / financial proof (Vietnam case)

For those who applied in Vietnam — do they really need 6 months of bank statements, or would 3 months be acceptable?

Also, can the bank account used for the statements be different from the one showing the 500,000 THB deposit?

Thanks a lot for any info or personal experience 🙏

Would really appreciate if anyone could share how strict different embassies are with these things!

When using the monthly income for "extension of stay" if submitting a credit advice for proof of income coming from abroad do you still need a 1 year bank statement?? We've lived here 12 years & every year has subtle changes 😉 logic says no but.....

I have 300,000THB in my bank and I am doing the other 200,000 THB letter of sponsorship from my mum!

Anyone got any tips? Anything in particular to say? I’ve asked chat GBT to help me write a letter and I’ve got her bank statement and the letter is worded well and is formal

It’s got way more than 300,000 in it so hoping we won’t have any issues or delays 😅 I’ve not spoken to anyone who has done a sponsorship letter
