Has anyone been asked whilst doing a border run with the DTV about their bank balance?

I’ve heard a couple stories of officers asking to see their balance of over 500k THB in the one account

Hi, I'm on a Non O, Retirement visa, and have been using monthly income for extensions. I am thinking of changing to 800k in the bank. My extension is due on 26 September. When would I need to have the money in the bank, and would I have to have it shown as being from a foreign source?

As a side question, I have noticed in 2020 the extension was to 24th Sept, and in 2021 and since has been stamped 26 Sept. No big deal, I'm just curious on that point.

"Once I get the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa), after 180 days, do I still need to show 500,000 Baht every time I extend it? If I exit and re-enter, is there any chance immigration might get suspicious and ask to see my bank balance again before giving a new entry stamp? Nowadays, many agencies are offering DTV visa packages, so I just want to be sure before I apply."

Hi!

I have a question about the 500,000 THB bank balance requirement for DTV visa.

The money is in a liquid savings/fixed deposit that appears on my main bank account statement.

Does that count, or does it have to be in a regular current/checking account?

Thank you!

I’m sure it’s been asked before but I’m not sure what keywords to type in to look for it. With this said, I’d like to know if there’s a way around having 15k in my bank account to get my DTV. My wife and I plan to move to Thailand mid April and live for a few years to teach at schools in rural area. Please let me know what to do

Is having 500k Thai baht in a Thai bank ok for the dtv requirement?

Can it be 500k at one time or does it have to be present for 3-6 months please?

I’m currently in Thailand on an ED visa and I would be looking to change to DTV Muay Thai visa. Will probably go to Vietnam for processing

Thank you

Hello everyone!

I’m preparing to apply for the DTV visa at the end of January in Hanoi.

I’ve been living in Thailand for 5 years, and my bank account with a 500k baht balance is in a Thai bank.

Would this be an issue? Has anyone successfully applied using a Thai bank to prove the balance?

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Hi DVT Group, a few questions i need help with. When applying for the DTV via the Thai Embassy website in Aust, it requests flight dates including a return date. If buying a one way ticket what should this date be? Also, can you provide a flight number that has not yet been booked or do you recommend paying for flights before the DTV has been approved? Finally, is it a requirement to a minimum balance of 500,000 THB (approximately 22,985 AUD) in your bank account for at least three months prior to application?
