I have an appointment in 2 weeks to apply for my DTV in Ho Chi Minh. I have a couple questions and I would greatly appreciate the advice!

1) I have found from some snooping on this group that I will need to show a bank statement of THB 500k from the past 6 months but that it does not have to be the full amount. I have made the final deposit today to finally hit the 500k but I was only able to open this bank account back in mid May which was 5 months ago. Would that be an issue? I also plan to show a 6 month statement from my other bank account which has roughly around $7000 USD to date. Would this also be supplemental to the app?

2) Do I also need to show a return ticket or something that says I will leave Thailand again when re-entering BKK after Ho Chi Minh?

3) My CONFIRMED appointment date is October 2nd but I keep seeing that they will be switching over to the e-visa system in October but since I was able to get the confirmed appointment, I will just assume that the in-person application is still allowed?

I am stressing a bit about this so any peace of mind would be nice to have 😩😩

Thank you!!

Did someone with DTV open a Bank account ?

Any suggestions?

My DTV got approved. I just got the e visa via pdf.

Why do some people have it in their passport. How can I get the visa inside my passport. I’m a German passport holder

Hi All I sat in my house in Nam Kham on a 90day visa I have a bank account and a wife here

What do I need documentation etc to get a one year extention

(it's rained everyday since I got here but I still want to stay)

Quick advise needed. My passport expired recently and I was issued a new one. My visa stamp is in the old passport. Would I be able to get in and out of Bangkok if I bring both my old and new passports or do I really have to go to Chaeng Wattana to have them transferred the visa chop to the new passport. I’m up for renewal in November so I’m hoping to save the trip…Any experience/ advise. Many thanks.

FYI - I hold a Singapore passport which means every passport is issued a new number.

Any expert views please…. I’ll be flying out of Thailand right on 90 days before coming back for good (Take That) in January. Should I still submit a 90 day report this trip, I’ve moved around several locations - it’ll be a first time experience submitting if I do

Marriage visa requirements include maintaining 400,000 THB in a Thai bank account for two years, and the funds must remain lodged in the bank throughout the duration of the visa extensions.

After the second year is completed, can it be withdrawn?

Hi folks, For the last few years I have been on a 4 month contract at a Bangkok University. I get a 3 month Non-B visa in Australia, and I extend that visa to 4 months once in Bangkok.. This year I will be on a 12 month contract. During those 12 months I will return to Australia for 3 months. The advice I seek is, should I get a multiple entry 12 month Non-B visa or should I get a 3 month Non-B and extend? I have read that you can extend the 3 month visa to a multiple entry 12 month one, once in Thailand. Many thanks

I have looked at the Sydney Thai Consulate webpage but could not find sufficient information.

Anyone get a Thai Drivers License with the DTV Visa?

I boo bood

I do my 90 day thing online. An email usually comes to remind me but this time the email didn't come and I was 4 days over the limit, thus 2000 baht fine.

Possibly the email didn't come because it was my first 90 day report after returning from Laos.

Maybe I'm wrong with my assumption but I'm 2000 baht wiser. 😌
