DTV approved!! I wanna share my experience with the applying members. I got lots of help from the members of this group. Thank you everyone 🙏🙏🙏.

I got approved in Vientiane, Laos. My walk-in appointment on Dec 11 and collected my passport on Dec 13.

(Note: After Dec 20 Thai Embassy in Vientiane will be closed until January 1 to upgrade their system to e-visa application)

My previous visa was in Thai language school.

I am working remote for a Singapore-based company. I applied under "workcation as a remote worker" category.

This is the list of documents I submitted

- Letter of request for visa approval

- Filled out Visa application form

- Portfolio (Resume)

- Education background and career related certificates

- Employment Contract

- Payslips since contract started

- Verification Letters from my Employer Company (employment certificate, remote work verification, visa sponsorship letter)

- Company registration docs (Singapore ARCA docs since my employer is Singapore-based)

- Bank statement 6-month (some say 3-month okay but I submitted 6 to be safe. I used Bangkok Bank account)

My employment contract with the Singapore-based company started in October. I submitted my Oct, Nov payslips. But the officer gave them back to me over the counter.

I wrote a neat cover letter "Request for Visa Approval" mentioning my purpose to apply for DTV. The officer carefully read it and asked me a few questions about my remote job.

I saw that the most important documents the officer carefully checked were

- Employment contract

- Company verification letters

- Company registration docs (Singapore ARCA)

- Bank statement

I submitted a 6-month statement of my Thai Bank account I opened with my language school visa.

The officer carefully checked transactions at the end of each month. I think it should be an account you are using regularly.

Lucky for me my company supported all the necessary documents and everything went well at the embassy.

I got lots of help from the members of this group. Thank you everyone.🙏🙏 🙏

And I hope everyone will get approved and live in your dream country.

Has anyone successfully changed the way they qualify for a retirement extension, from the money in the bank to monthly income, at the Jomtien office? And before anyone asks, yes I have maintained the proper amount in the bank for a year, as well as transferred in the 65,000 each month for a year.

How do you open a Thai bank account to deposit the 800k before getting the visa? Or do you get the visa first then deposit the money, do I need an agent ?

I have just extended my 60 days visa free with 30 day extension. I fly to Malaysia in January for a few days with my Thai girlfriend and I'll hopefully get another 60 days on return.

I want to convert to retirement visa but I read that you have to have money in a Thai bank for 3 months first but I also read you cannot do this if here as a tourist.

Is anyone able to advise the best way to get this done? Pay for visa agency or is it possible to do myself? Do I have to be out of the country to arrange? I am able to transfer 800,000 thb into a Thai bank account if I can open one.

I'm sure this question has been asked many times before but it's all very confusing when trying to arrange for the first time.

Any help would be appreciated 😀

Hello everyone!

I’m preparing to apply for the DTV visa at the end of January in Hanoi.

I’ve been living in Thailand for 5 years, and my bank account with a 500k baht balance is in a Thai bank.

Would this be an issue? Has anyone successfully applied using a Thai bank to prove the balance?

Thanks in advance for your advice!

When applying for the DTV is it "better" to provide bank statements with the minimum amount from a Thai bank account or from abroad? I have both. Planning to apply via HCMC online.

Marriage Visa question.

When i apply for non O visa 90 days based on marriage in my Country (Belgium):

If i read this document on the Belgium Thai embassy website it doesn't say i need money in a Thai bank account. Just need to show evidence of 400k. But when i want to extend the visa when i arrive in Thailand, do i need to have a Thai Bank Account with 400k in it or can i use the same Bank documents i used when i applied in Belgium?

My question is when you apply outside Thailand before you arrive.

Thank you.
