I’m on a retirement visa with the 800,000 in one bank…I have another bank that doesn’t have as much in it.

If my extension comes up for renewal end of June.

How long before the end of June do I have to top up the other bank to 800,000 so I can use that bank for my next renewal.

In other words I want to switch the banks I use for the visa extension renewal going foreward.

Later on I’ll close the first bank.

That’s the idea anyway…..appreciate your insights…Ta.

As there was an update to the Thai eVisa Website yesterday on 27 December 2025, the Category Selection for a Non–O E–Visa for those aged over 50 years old has changed to:

" Those who wish to stay in Thailand for no longer than 90 days (single entry) "

Hi. Sorry to ask something that must have been asked before but I received confusing informatiin from the Chiang Mai immigration office.

If I am on a retirement visa (my first time) and I want to do the same next year, does the money have to be in the bank two, three or four months before I hand in my application? Some websites give different answers. And is it a matter of sending in the exact same documents as the first time? Will those documents need updating - besides the bank stuff? And can I choose when I do it? I was thinking I might do it two weeks before my current visa expires, although maybe earlier so I have plenty of time if I get anything wrong. Is there an earliest date you can apply before expiry? Thank you!

I just asked for the local custom officer in Jakarta, they said 24th 25th 27th 28th 31th December and 1th January are day off.

Do you have to book an onward ticket with DTV? I'm filling out my TDAC and it asks for departure information.

Hello there,

You guys know if having lots of stamps (due to constant border runs) on my passport could be reason to get my DTV denied?

Thank you!

Hello,

My Non-B work visa expires on 18 January 2026. I have an immigration appointment booked for 9 January to renew it.

Is it okay to apply for a visa extension so close to the expiry date? Are there any risks or penalties if documents are complete?

Hello

I am in Cape Verde. The nearest embassy is in Senegal. The website automatically selects Dakar for application submission.

My question is whether I can apply from Cape Verde under these conditions or if I have to travel to Senegal. Thank you for your insights.

Apologies if this has been covered exhaustively, I haven’t been keeping an eye on things as I might. Has anyone been asked to provide proof of bank balance upon re-entering Thailand recently? Thank you.

Hello, I am currently in Phuket with visa exemption and I want to China to assist a wedding from 25 to 31 January. I want to apply for DTV at madrid embassy on day 25 currently I’ll be in China but day 31 I fly to Madrid. Will my DTV be affected even if I have the rest of documents ok?

Thanks in advance
