Hi all, apologies if this has been asked before but in regards to DTV visa and the 500k baht bank balance.

I’ve seen conflicting answers to how long needs to show in your bank account. Varying between just current balance up to 6 months and also that it depends on which country you’re visiting the embassy in.

Can anyone help on this?

I am looking at the Thai Embassy Los Angeles web site... I am confused.. I thought that one only needed the funds in the bank two months prior to the 90 day visa expires.

please explain.. maybe I am not looking at the correct info ..

would like to obtain the 90 day visa and then apply for the marriage visa after 60 days..

here is what is on the Thai Embassy Los Angeles web site.

Required documents to upload in the system (Large and clear JPEG or PDF format) to stay with Thai family residing in Thailand (more than 60 days):

1. Passport Biodata Page or Travel Document (Must be valid within 6 months from travel date)

2. Photograph of the applicant, taken within the past six months

3. Document indicating current location (driving license, bank statement, or proof of stay)

4. Recent bank statement showing the applicant's name and ending balance of no less than $15,000 or proof of monthly income of not less than $1,500/month) along with the current bank statement showing incoming income

5. Personal details of a family in Thailand, e.g. valid Thai ID card or Thai Passport

6. Proof of relationship to a family in Thailand (immediate family only), e.g. A copy of marriage certificate / birth certificate / certificate of adoption

if this is not the visa I want.. please to direct me to the correct visa.

Thank you

Hi Guys !!! Did anyone apply for the “Muay Thai Soft Power" recently in Cambodia? I heard that many people that tried got their DTV cancelled due of a missing document "Of The Ministry Of Sports” which is impossible to get‼️

I’m currently in Cambodia! If anyone has some news and could share I would be really happy!

Hi All,

I want to apply for a DTV workcation visa based on my being self supportive by managing my stocks. I see online I will need to provide bank statements, but no specifics. I have scoured the websites, googled it and scrolled down through these FB groups but am still unsure. My questions are:

* Does anyone know if they have specific minimum income thresholds and if so for how many months do they want bank statements?

* I am not incorporated/have no company or paychecks, it's just me and my cap gains and dividend distribution transfers. Have others gotten visas in this scenario?

* I plan to apply while in Ho Chi Minh, but through the ThaiEvisa site portal. Does anyone have any pertinent information on doing it this way versus in person at the embassy in HCM?

* Alternately, how many times in a row can I leave Thailand and re enter under the 60-90 day tourist visa and not have any problems with immigration? I have heard 2-3 times, but what is your knowledge of this?

Is having 500k Thai baht in a Thai bank ok for the dtv requirement?

Can it be 500k at one time or does it have to be present for 3-6 months please?

I’m currently in Thailand on an ED visa and I would be looking to change to DTV Muay Thai visa. Will probably go to Vietnam for processing

Thank you

So is it 500k baht cumulatively over the past 6 months of bank statements? Or is it 500k baht shown as a closing balance each month of those 6 months??

Applying in Ho Chi Mihn soon!

Thanks!!

Hi everyone, what's the latest in bank statement requirements?

As in how long the 500k THB need to be in the account.

I have a Thai bank account and can provide the 6 months in statements if necessary but I'll only transfer the 500k+ in next week.

My best travel options would be Phnom Penh, HCMC or Bali. I don't mind spending time in any of those, so if one takes longer than the other it doesn't matter much.

Thanks!

NOTE of encouragement for older women:

I'm almost 60 years old and was a bit concerned about applying via Muay Thai.

I asked the gym owner if he had any women members over 55.

In fact he has quite a few including a woman who is 79 so this was very encouraging for me.

I'm really looking forward to learning Muay Thai!

Initially I was going to pay an agent to help process the visa but I'm very glad that I did this myself.

Thank you to all the thoughtful members who have shared their experience to help others

Good Luck Everyone, Cheers

I got my DTV (workation) in Phnom Penh. Thanks to all the people who posted here who gave useful information.

I didn't overdo the requirements. Just submitted the following:

1. Current bank statement

2. Entry stamp

3. Letter explaining my work (I am an online ESL teacher. [No company])

4. Screenshots of the lessons I conducted with my current students. (My students are not from Thailand.)

5. Screenshot of my LinkedIn profile.

I submitted the application on Feb 4 and received an email at around 22:00 on Feb 17.

When submitting with a sponsor, in addition to a sponsorship letter and bank statements is anything else required? Should I include a copy of their passport or ID?
