I work and live in taipei, due to some reasons (employers) I have 3 bank accounts (under my name) with about 300k thai baht each. Combined they would get around 1 million. I was about to apply for dtv (soft powers) in taipei when I read of a folk who got denied cuz he had a similar situation and it seemed that 500k should be in a single account. Now I can easily move money from an account to the other but then I should wait 3 months before applying for the dtv. Has anyone gotten any issues by showing the proof of 500k on more than a single bank account? (just to clarify, money has been on those for over 3 months but none of those accounts has excedeed 500k)

I am traveling to Thailand since 23 years, now being 50yrs old with German passport, and always on visa exempt stamp.

Since last year it seems using this way of entering the country is getting more and more tricky as I enter the country 2-3x during a 4 weeks holiday trip entering other SEA countries as well.

I also own a Condo in my name in Pattaya btw.

Now wondering what visa to apply for, probably DTV as I have all the requirements handy, to get not stressed with questions and evidence for my own purpose.

What is your guys recommendation in my case for 2-3 yearly visits to SEA in total not more than 120days but multiple Thailand entries?

I don't want to live there or apply for a standard tourist visa as I can't see a big difference.

As German I have also 2 passports (both German) which is allowed for critical purposes and land borders (Emirates, Israel, Cuba etc.) and I could potentially change my passport each time or so.

What are your recommendations for best and flexible options for myself?

Okay folks, strange question. I have 13 cats, live in America and want to retire there on retirement visa. I have a lot of time in Thailand, studied the language at a Thai temple in USA and love it there. I am 56, high income/assts, so no issues with getting the visa. The issue is my cats that I will not separate from. I do animal rescue and will be doing this until I die. The cats are all spayed/neutered, and just domestic breeds I rescued from death row at shelters, found on the street hurt, et cetera. Thank you in advance, Gary

I'm seeking recommendations for health insurance and insurance for Accidents option in Bangkok, Thailand for Foreigner. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hi - applied in Singapore and got approved in 7 business days using Muay Thai soft power and unemployed.

19 Jan - Submit the online application as soon as I landed in Singapore.

> Proof of residence is ID card and bank statement

> Muay Thai I enrolled at Fitfac for their private course. They provided all relevant docs for DTV.

20 Jan - Status changed to pending doc review

21 Jan - Requested for full statement because I only provided summary pages and proof of Thai residence and which is my Thai girlfriend’s house including an invitation letter, her house registration, passport, and Thai ID card.

24 Jan - Status changed to pending approval

28 Jan - Approved right before CNY break

Hope this helps. Good luck!

I am moving to Thailand to be with my Thai wife in April and plan to retire there with her.

I understand that I will need a Spouse Visa. I hope to be in the Rayong area. Can anybody suggest somebody who could help with Visa, Bank Accounts, Driving Licence etc. TIA

I just arrived in Bkk today activating my DTV, went smooth, no questions asked.

Here’s what documents I submitted when applied:

- Photo (not older than 6 month)

- Passport

- proof of residence (of my apartment in Germany)

- freelance contract and permission letter to work from abroad (specifically stating Thailand too)

- 500k baht bank statement (money was transferred just before my application, no necessity for proof of 6 month in my bank account)

Applied in Frankfurt, Germany. Visa was approved after 9 days.

Hope this information is helpful. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Hello everyone,

I’m thrilled to share that my DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) was approved today by the Hanoi embassy! It’s such a relief, and I’m still in awe that such a visa exists—it feels absolutely amazing. I applied as a remote worker, and this opens up so many exciting possibilities for me.

A huge thank you to everyone in this group for the invaluable information and support. It’s been incredibly helpful throughout this process.

Next on my list is finding a great place to live and opening a Thai bank account. A new chapter is beginning, and I’m so excited for what’s ahead. I wish the same success for all of you pursuing this visa!

If anyone has questions or needs advice, feel free to reach out—I’m happy to help!
