Has anyone had this while applying for there DTV. I understood as long as you apply for it outside Thailand once you’ve applied you can in theory travel back into Thailand.

Hi everyone!

I’m applying for a visa and I don’t have enough funds in my personal bank account to meet the financial requirement. My father is willing to support me and sponsor me, but I’m not sure what kind of documents I need to provide to show this.

Does anyone know what I should prepare?

For example:

A sponsorship letter from my father?

Proof of his income or bank statements?

A declaration that he will cover my expenses?

If anyone has experience with this or has gone through something similar, I would really appreciate your advice. Thank you so much!

Hi everyone, I am from California, USA. Our arrival date to Bangkok, Thailand is March 10, 2026.

I was in the middle of applying for the DTV - but I had to stop midway because the Thai E-visa online site said "Applicant should not apply for visa more than 3 months before the date of intended arrival". So I'm too early as of today. I then should wait until December 15ish.

1) Just curious if anyone applied exactly at the 3 month mark and how long it took? Did it take about 2 weeks?

2) I am first applying then I will have my husband and 2 children (ages 9 and 6) apply as dependents if I am approved. I have been reading mixed comments about needing about $50,000 USD as a family to apply. I was hoping that's not true. Anyone with experience with just $25-$30k USD in their savings account for a family of 4?

I hope it won't take too long to get approved. Thanks so much for any help or advice!

Hello, I will be applying for DTV soon. Will I need to provide proof of a Thai address, TM-30, anything like this?

Also, if I apply in Hanoi embassy, does that mean I have to physically stay in Hanoi the entire time while my application is processing? Or I can I be anywhere in Vietnam while applying in Hanoi's embassy?

Thanks 🙏

We are wanting to do the DTV (Destination Thailand Visa) so we can come and go for about 5 years. Should that be applied for prior to coming to Thailand or can it be applied for after arrival on a tourist visa?

I'm currently in Thailand and will be returning to Australia on the 4th of November. My house in Australia has been sold and settlement is the 27th of November. Can l apply for the Non- 0 visa as soon as l return. I don't have the 800,000 baht in my bank until the 27th. Can I still apply or do I have to wait until money is in account.

Thanks

I just extended my 60 day tourist visa which will expire on Sept 11. Is it possible to apply for and get a retirement visa through an agent before then?

I tried to get a DTV from a cooking school in Korea, but I was rejected. In this case, it would be meaningless to supplement the documents and put them back in Korea, right?

For Hanoi successful cases, mind to share how long your 500,000Baht has sat in your account for?

Thank you !

I’m planning to apply to ALA Language School and already emailed them to begin the application process for their education visa. They replied saying I have to apply in person, which surprised me—I thought I needed to apply before leaving the U.S.

To be sure I’m not missing anything, I reviewed the Digital Arrival Card form. I wanted to fully understand what’s required. It asks for the visa type and visa number, but obviously, I won’t have a visa number until I go through immigration.

Since this is an arrival card, it includes questions about the purpose of my visit, my visa type, and visa number—which makes me wonder how I’m supposed to fill those out if the visa is only issued once I arrive. Do I leave it blank??? Any help to how I can apply to ALA would be helpful.
