Bank account and 1 year extension.

The bank account was opened by an agency. I hardly remember where the branch was (somewhere in Bangkok, China Town). I got my first 1 year extension with the agency.

My 2 questions:

1. I opened another bank account with Kashikorn Bank where I deposited 850K THB. Would that different bank account be a problem when renewing 1 year extension (26. September 2026)?

I have Yellow Book, Thai DL, Thai Pink ID, bank book.

2. My TM30 when the 1. year extension was granted, was with some address in the provinces (via an agency). The day after arrival to Thai (October 30 2025) , I submitted TM30 with my my current home address in Bangkok (Samut Prakan). That TM30 will never change.

Does that TM30 override whatever address and TM30 the agency logged in?

Trying to check if I can go on my own to Immigration for the next extension or am I locked with the agency?

I have been on a Remote Worker DTV for 5 months.

Immigration didn’t give me the 180-day extension because half of my money is in the U.S. stock market and the other half was not in my Thai bank account for 30 days. All my other documents were fine. I still work for the same company.

I will make a visa run and enter through Bangkok airport.

Is there a high chance they will refuse my entry?

Do they want to see 500,000 THB in my bank account and check that it has been there for 30 days?

Hi I'm just seeking advice so I get things in the right order. I arrived on a Non-Immigrant O Visa for 90days. I entered on 8th December and have accommodation for a month.

I have a TM30 but I understand I need a Residency certificate to open a bank account.

Will I be able to get a Residency Certificate with 30 days accommodation booked? If not, what is the criteria?

My intention is to apply for a further 90 day visa then the year extension.

Is this the right way of doing things?

I'm from the U.S. and received an non-o visa from the Royal Thai Embasy in L.A. last October. MY flight was delayed and it expired before I arrived in Thailand. Can I re apply for it here in Thailand. I've been married to a Thai national for 5 years and we have all the documents with us. Someone said I have to leave to re apply??? Why?

I will be coming to Thailand in January on my non-O 90 day visa to subsequently apply for my spousal visa. After arrival, my plan is to quickly set up a bank account and immediately deposit more than 400k baht. I also plan to set up another bank account and begin immediately transferring more than 40k baht from the US every month. I thought that after the end of the 90 days and after approval of the one year spousal extension, I could then withdraw the 400k and continue the monthly transfers. I thought that before the end of the one year, I would have a record of more than 12 monthly transfers and all would be good. However, I was recently advised that I would still need the 400k in the first account to get the second year extension. Is that correct?

My spouse and I (unmarried) are applying for the dtv next month. My spouse is the owner of the company we operate and I am the agent. I do not receive a “salary” as we primarily use one account. The company is real estate related and we have many contracts from previous clients through it. I do all of the admin. We will be applying in the US through the Washington embassy. I’m just trying to figure out what exactly we will need to submit and put together for next month so that we can be prepared. Does anyone have any advice/experience on how to make this a smooth process?

Sorry if I sound like an idiot, but I’ve already emailed the Los Angeles Thai consulate & the answer didn’t make sense to me. So here goes. My husband holds a Finnish passport, I have a US passport. We live in Hawaii (USA) He is a content creator & makes a living online. We are going to be applying online with him as the person applying, me & our 3 children as his dependents. My first question is: Which consulate will be overseeing my application process? Is it Los Angeles?

My second question is, whether our bank account situation will work… September had 35k, October dipped to 4k, November 49k, & December will be 50-100k… Would like to apply asap, like end of December or early January latest… Do you think they’ll deny because of October? Should I wait till early February to apply?

If they reject due to not having the bank account having enough funds for long enough, will we have to pay the whole 2k (5 people) again when we reapply?

Thank you for all your help!

Hi all!🤚 This is my first post and the question ❓️is very specific regarding the LTR visa. All I know is the info in the pic. What order do I take steps to get the visa? Suppose, I go to Thailand ✈️to open the bank account💰. How much money has to be in the account? What's the next step? What other documents do I need to prepare before flying to Thailand? Would 3 - 4 weeks be enough for obtaining the LTR visa before returning to England? We own a condo in Pattaya in case it makes a difference. Thank you all in advance, bullet points in the correct order would be much appreciated 😇🙏

Hello all, I'm german and I want to apply for a DTV.

Im in thailand right now on a 60 day stamp which runs out 2nd of January. Im planning to leave to another country then to apply for the DTV.

Im a freelancer for many years and work for 2 clients in Germany in the online marketing sector. My company is an american LLC.

The only issue I have is that I only have the 500k THB in my private account for a couple of days now. I had it in my business account (which is run under my company name, not my private name) from the beginning of this month, but not prior to that.

Is there any chance I can still apply for the DTV in January somewhere?

Thank so much ♥️
