Just a quick question on 500k requirement.

Applying from london

I understand it needs to be shown in accessible bank account not fixed savings or crypto etc

I have this money in an instant access savings account... so it is accessible. Would this be ok or would I need to withdraw into my checking account.

Might seem like a silly question just want to be prepared and thinking ahead.

Thanks in advance

I have a tie retirement Visa which expires at the end of April 2026. I intend to return to Thailand this October 2025 to avoid the UK winter.

My UK passport expires at the beginning of October 2026. When I leave Thailand in April, there will be just under six months left on my UK passport.

I am aware that in Europe there have been passengers not allowed onto flights because they do not have six months left on their passport. Is this likely to be an issue for me

If there is any doubt I will take the easy route and renew my passport one year early and transfer the Thai retirement documentation to the new passport

Any helpful advice welcomed

If I apply in the USA as a citizen, can I apply at any consulate in the USA?

I have a question for the “sponsorship” part of the application if we choose to go that route, will be handling my girlfriends DTV visa and does the 500k baht need to be from her account? Or can i sponsor her showing proof of funds in my account? We are not married. Im guessing its a long shot but just curious to hear if anyone has gone this route

Hi. I will be applying for DTV next week, how do I prove that I am in the UK ? I returned from Thailand in April and passport control did not stamp my passport. I think I have everything else covered 🙏 thank you in advance for your support. And anything else that can trip me up ?

When a visa is approved via Thai consulate in USA, does consulate mail anything hard copy to me or is it all electronic? TIA

Just had my DTV visa approved, applied last week, they got back to me within 24 hours requesting more information, I had to wait for my latest bank statement which was available yesterday and woke up to approval in my inbox this morning. This was London embassy so all in all their side took less than 48 hours to process and receive. The bad news is don't fly for another month lol.

Does anyone know what to do when a Thai, who is just married to a German, wants to apply for a spouse visa?

Weiß jemand was zu tun ist wenn eine Thai, die gerade frisch mit einem Deutschen verheiratet ist, ein Ehegatten Visa beantragen will?

Hi. I’m looking to apply from vietnam via Muay Thai route. Where is the fastest processing embassy?

What about opinions on Laos? Am I better off going to Vietnam?

I applied at HCM embassy!

I submitted a 6-month bank statement that I obtained from the online banking system of a bank in my country. Now, they are asking me to prove that the bank statement is legitimate. How should I prove its legitimacy? Should I just write and submit a cover letter?

Do you also experience these kinds of requests? If so, what is the best way to handle thsi

I would greatly appreciate any guidance or advice on the appropriate way to address such a request effectively.
