For people that have put their children under their DTV visa. What document did you use for proof of current location?? I’ve got a 2 year old that doesn’t exactly have any mail or proof of address…

Updated requirements for the LTR 10 year Visa.

For those who qualify, I believe it is the best Thai Visa available today.

Hi, when applying for DTV does the financial evidence need to be in “baht”? And if so, is a wise account okay?

LOS ANGELES THAI CONSULATE:

Applied March 6th. Submitted further documents March 25th. Have not heard back since. It is now April 14th 2025

I applied for the DTV Soft Power on May 6th with all required documents and triple checked all information was submitted correctly word for word.

13 days later (March 25th) I get an email asking to submit a bank statement requiring a MINIMUM of $17,000 USD, with my name clearly printed and it cannot be an investent profile. My name was CLEARLY PRINTED on my bank statement, it is a statement from a SAVINGS/ CHECKING ACCOUNT with my BANK which also has the banks name and address cleary printed on it. I submitted the statement with $15,300 USD AS THE E-VISA WEBSITE and every other resource available online stated the requirement was a minimim of $15,000. I could have submitted the statement with $17,000+ the first time if thats what made clear anywhere but it wasnt.

I resubmitted a new bank statement with $17,500 1 day of recieving that further documents requested email (March 27) and ever since status has been in "Processing Document Check (1) ". I underatand as of now it Songkran in Thailand, but that document was sumbitted way prior to the holiday.

I also submitted the documents for my finacé's DTV SoftPower on April 4th 2025 with all the same required documents except I made sure her bank statement has well over $17,000 USD. We applidd to the same consulate as me. Her status has been "Pending Payment" ever since. Its been 6 business days and no status change.

I'll continue my patience but wrote this out slight confusion & frustration.

WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE THAI CONSULATE LOS ANGELES

I received this request on my DTS application. I am a bit confused as I uploaded a year's worth of bank statements showing incoming paychecks, 500k THB in savings and the account number. The only potential issues I see is that my name is slightly cut off due to length on the statement, and the name of the company paying me is not the same as the name of the company on the contract. Has anyone had any luck calling or emailing the consulate for feedback on what they want here?

I am a US citizen looking into Visa.

For the Visa's that require a certain amount of Baht or Dollars in a bank account, am I able to use the amount in my 401K as long as it is still there when it comes time to apply?

Thank you.

Hi y’all I’m new to the group and I was wondering what the rules were regarding the 15k needed to be approved for the Digital Nomad Visa. I’m considering borrowing half of this amount to get the visa and then paying the half back after - would this work or will I need to show proof of 15k in my account for the entirety of my stay there? Thanks appreciate any advice!

Just wondering, i joined a muay thai course starting in the middle of May till nov 2025. So on my intended day of arrival and departure in online dtv visa form , the total duration is about 185 days which is more than 180 days . Because the course starts from 20 may till middle of November. So should i book confirmed return tickets or dummy will do also . Also for how many days i need to book the hotel in my case.

When showing the required 500,000 THB as part of the financial proof, does the bank statement need to be dated on the exact day of submitting the application, or is it acceptable if the statement is from a few days earlier?

Just want to make sure I get the timing right—any advice would be appreciated!

Hi new here wondering what I need to do to legally retire here?
