DO you have to have 800,000 in a Thai bank account plus the income stream or is it, you have one or the other?

Hi all, please excuse me if this isn’t the best question. I am doing my research into visas as my wife really wants to move to Thailand. We are US citizens. She works remotely and I believe would apply for the DVT visa. What would I do in regards to a visa or our two kids? If there is some reference material I missed somewhere, I apologize, please point me in the right direction. Thank you all so much!

Is age an issue in applying DTV Visa?

I’m 19 and I believe I qualify for a DTV visa since I’m a freelancer earning $10K a month where I can showcase my portfolio.

Each embassy operates differently, and age is not a listed factor on my country’s consulate website. But I do see some embassy listing the minimum age where it’s 20.

Does anybody here think my visa might be rejected based on my age factor even tho I can provide all the necessary documents.

Edit - I do have 500,000+ bhat in my bank, the embassy I’m applying thru only allow walkthrough and there’s no evisa service available.

Please help, thanks.

How do I apply for a non o visa in uk and how long does it take ?

Hello everyone 😊

I have applied for DTV on 11.10. in Berlin embassy via eVisa. So 10 working days are over, but the status is still „Processing Pending Document Check (1)“ and the last update is the 11.10. , the day i applied.

Is it normal, that my application is still on Document Check after 10 working days?

Are there experiences from other members of this group, that applied in Berlin?

I only found one other post from Berlin, where the whole process was completed in one week.

Thank you 🙏🏻

I just got my DTV visa!

I applied in Hanoi, Vietnam, through a 3-month Muay Thai course, and it was approved on the third business day after I resubmitted. I submitted it on Friday morning and got the approval email on Tuesday afternoon. No additional documents were requested during the process.

The documents I provided were:

• Passport bio page

• Recent photo

• A month bank statements with a balance of over 500,000 THB starting 10 days ago

• Proof of stay in Vietnam(entry stamp and hotel confirmation in Hanoi)

• Documents from the school (invitation letter, payment receipt, business license, ID of the legal representative and photos of the school’s environment)

I received a lot of help here, so a big thank you to everyone! 🥰

I'm so happy while I write this. My DTV has just been approved a couple of minutes ago. I applied in Seoul, Korea (I'm not Korean, but Korea is my "home" country as I've lived here for the past 15 years) on August 26th, was requested additional documents (a resume in English) on Sept 2nd, and the status changed to "Pending Approval" on Sept 5th. I'm thankful the Embassy took its time to approve it, so I wouldn't "lose" almost 2 months of the visa validity time.

Applied as a remote worker.

Hi there. I'm just trying to understand the bank account situation before applying for the DTV.

Its my understanding that I need to have THB 500,000 siting untouched in a Thai bank account for period of time before I can apply for the DTV.

My question is; how can you establish a Thai bank account if you don't already live in Thailand? Also, its my understanding that you can't obtain a permanent residential address (to open a bank account) unless you have some form of visa already allowing you to live Thailand.

Your assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Hey guys. I’m finally doing my spouse visa to return to Thailand. Can anyone kindly tell me what I need to put in number 5

Thanks

Approved for DTV for hubby, son (Spanish) and myself (Singaporean) 2 days before flying out. We almost gave up after many documents requested and submitted. Applied in Mexico.

On the day it was approved, we had an interview with the consul. She was very nice and friendly and asked many questions to verify all of the submitted documents. Basically she wanted to make sure that we are financially covered for the duration of the 5 years DTV visa.

The appt. was at 11.30am and we got the visa at 4pm. We started the process in July but because it took us quite a while to get the information it dragged on until yesterday when we had the interview. Made a mistake first by dropping by the embassy thinking we can walk in but requires an appt.

Anyway, we applied as workcation through the company that was registered in Singapore. Finally do happy I can post the good news here!!!

Good luck to all those applying and grateful it came out just after we decided to move to Thailand!
