Just a quick question on 500k requirement.

Applying from london

I understand it needs to be shown in accessible bank account not fixed savings or crypto etc

I have this money in an instant access savings account... so it is accessible. Would this be ok or would I need to withdraw into my checking account.

Might seem like a silly question just want to be prepared and thinking ahead.

Thanks in advance

Applying for non immigrant visa ( married to a Thai) Online.

I have just arrived in Thailand ( Chiang Mai ) yesterday and went to a few banks today to open an account.All the 4 banks I asked said I cannot open an account unless I have a work permit, or is studying in a university( degree min) or has a pink card ( whatever that is). These combination or one of these .My question is how do I apply for that visa if I cannot open a bank account in Thailand. I don't meet any of these 3 requirements

Or can I download my bank statement from my home country?

Hi everyone, I am having issues about my bank statement with Hanoi embassy.

I want to use my "Livret A" saving account (french account) that exceeds the 500k thb required for more than a year. The issue is I did not make any transfer since end of april. So when my bank edit for me my bank statement, there is nothing to show after this date.

Even if my bank stated at the end of the document "We, *bank name*, certify the absence of transactions on savings account No. xxxxxxxx from 30 April 2025 to this day, 06 August 2025.", the thai embassy sent me the mail today required "Updated bank statement from May to present."

I am a bit lost, I do not know what to do, if someone can help me please.

I took a screenshot of my livret A web page, my bank also sent me the listing of all my account with the balance every end of month from end of february until end of july. I also plan to send an eglish+thai letter to explain everything about the different documents and I hope it will be enough.

I also asked my bank to stamp and sign the screenshot of my livret A web page if it can help too.

I really feel my application is legit, I have the money on my account for more than 2 years, it is just I cannot give the template of bank statement they want, because of my bank.

Thank you all for your help

Edit : This is what I sent to my bank, with a cover letter including this "At present, I hold 22,950 EUR in a Livret A savings account with Credit Agricole, which is equivalent to approximately 864,756 THB. The Livret A is a special government-supported savings account available in France, known for its safety, accessibility, offers tax-free interest, and high liquidity. I am able to withdraw and utilize these funds at any time for my daily expenses."

My question is. I have already gained a visa until 21st of December. Can I just do a visa run and get 60 more days?

I'm currently going through the process of obtaining a marriage certificate and ultimately a marriage visa, at what point in the whole process can I apply for a Thai driver's license?

Silly question time again. I’ve got advice from this group, that I need a 90 day Non immigrant visa to help with a bank account application. What do I select as purpose of visa? As there is no O visa option just O-A

TIA

I need to convert my German drivers license to Thai can I do this in an other province then Bangkok where I live as the 1st date available is mid October and the new car we already have.

Up to now I've been renewing my extension of stay using an income affidavit from my consulate. The writing is on the wall that this will be discontinued at some stage in the future. Is depositing min 800k in my Thai bank 2 months prior to visa renewal sufficient? I read somewhere between the lines that you have to maintain a min of 400k over a 12 month period.

Thank you

Do i need to visit immigration office after my passport renewal to copy the entry stamp from the old passport? Is there any specific form for that?

Where can we get our marriage documents (certificate, State verified and USA government verified) translated into Thai for bank account opening and how much does it cost?
