I have a question regarding the financial proof requirement of 500,000 THB. I’m applying through the Thai Embassy in Rome, and on their website it states: “12,500 EUR (500,000 THB)”.

I’m a bit confused, since the two amounts are not exactly equivalent, especially with the current exchange rate, where 500,000 THB is more than 13,000 EUR.

Should I follow the amount in Thai Baht or is the 12,500 euros equivalent sufficient?

The reason I ask is because in some months my account balance was slightly above 12,500 EUR, but not always over the full 500,000 THB equivalent — just around the threshold.

Hi all. Without going to one’s home country, can I get retirement visa outside Thailand? Currently in Italy but heading to Thailand next month.

Can meet requirements for bank but everything on here says it’s almost impossible to open account. Have a lease also. Would I go to US embassy here or Thai to apply for non-O?

Just to complicate, I will have 3 kids who will attend school and adult son for whom I have guardianship.

Thanks for advice.

Hi, do you think I would have a problem applying for a DTV with a new/unstamped passport? I have always traveled within Europe, so my priority was not owning a passport. For the other things, I shouldn't have any concerns. I'm applying from Italy.

Thank you for your help ✌️
