Hello everyone! I need to extend my retirement visa in Chiang Mai before September 28. If I plan to submit my application on September 10, do I need to ensure my bank account balance exceeds 800,000 THB by July 11 (two months prior) or by June 11 (three months prior)? Thank you for your assistance!

Advice everyone!

I am Japanese.

I want to apply for a DTV visa now.

Bank balance 3 months? Six months? Can't apply for more than 500,000 baht forever?

Tell me who succeeded.

Prove your balance of 500,000 baht can be done immediately

Yes, but do I have to put it in the bankbook now?

I want to apply for a DTV visa soon, so I'm also thinking if I can apply in Hanoi, Vietnam.

Waiting for your advice🥺

皆さんアドバイスを下さい!

私は日本人です。

これからDTVビザを申請したいと思っている。

銀行の残高は3ヶ月?6ヶ月?ずっと50万バーツ以上ないと申請できない?

成功した方教えて下さい。

残高が50万バーツあることの証明ならすぐにでき

るけど、今から通帳に入れないといけない?

早くDTVビザを申請したいから、ベトナムのハノイで申請をしてもいいかとも考えている。

皆さんのアドバイスを待ってます🥺

I have a one year extension as retiree thru 800000 baths system. I kept this amount for 3 months after extension and am now over 400000.

I will renew my visa when I am in France thru the the Thai embassy in Paris.

My question is: should I go back to 800000 2 months prior the current extension deadline or can I keep only 400000 as I will renew from abroad ?

Hope it is clear

Thks in advance

Do I just need to have 500,000 baht in my bank account to get a DTV visa or do I need to have 500,000 baht for 3 months?

Hi all.

I’m currently in Phuket on an OA retirement visa. Phuket immigration allows a combination of 400000b bank balance plus monthly pension payments of at least 400000b to give the required 800000b total. Do the same rules apply elsewhere? I will shortly be moving to Trang province and I’m not sure.

Hey all! My husband and I are hoping to get the DTV visa. Does anyone know how long the 500k baht has to stay in the bank before applying? Also, do most people just apply themselves online or use a lawyer? I've tried to meet with a few and I've felt a bit scammed honestly...Thanks in advance!!

So DTV for Thailand looks like our best option. Thank you all for your help! Quick question: is 500,000 Thai baht bank balance sufficient to apply for a husband with his spouse as a dependent, or do you need to double the bank balance to 1 million Thai baht for 3 months?

Are there any Indians here who have applied for DTV Soft Power from Jakarta? I'm planning to apply from Jakarta in the 1st week of April. How was your experience? Did they ask for "detail on sources of income"? Did you have 500k THB in your account for more than 3 months?

For context, my previous visa application was cancelled by New Delhi Embassy after additional documentation request about "sources of income" thing. I got no response to my calls and emails asking for the reason for cancellation. Unfortunately, I couldn't visit the embassy in person. ([members only]/)

I have been maintaining over 600k THB balance in my Indian bank account since March 6 and applying for DTV Soft Power with Muay Thai classes. Thanks to my stupidity, balance dipped just under 500k on March 5th because of auto-pay and currency fluctuations. I'm currently in Thailand and will be flying to Jakarta in April. I'd love to be back in Thailand before May with DTV.

Applying for an O extension at Cheang Watthana today and was told to come back for this reason:

my visa expires on march 28. I was able to book an appointment for today, the 17th. I got my bank balance up to 800k on January 24, 2 months and a few days to season or so I thought. I did not know 2 months seasoning is calculated back from the day you’re at immigration to ask for an extension, NOT 2 months back from the day your visa expires. I have to go back March 24-28.

Hi all, apologies if this has been asked before but in regards to DTV visa and the 500k baht bank balance.

I’ve seen conflicting answers to how long needs to show in your bank account. Varying between just current balance up to 6 months and also that it depends on which country you’re visiting the embassy in.

Can anyone help on this?
