Let's say I want to come to work on my business idea (app) and can document how it's legit and the viability / plan etc. Can they use my investment income of $30,000 over the past year to satisfy income. I've always got 500k THB in my bank account and fairly strong investment accounts etc.
If I document everything in a compelling way will I get approved?
I’m currently on a DTV visa, and my boyfriend is here on a student visa. My 6-month stamp is expiring on August 13, so we’re looking into doing a border bounce, and I’d love some advice based on recent experiences.
These are the options we’re considering:
– Nong Khai (Laos) – Has anyone on a DTV visa done a border run there recently? Is it still straightforward?
– Cambodia by car – We have a car and were thinking of driving to Siem Reap, but I heard there might be land border closures. Is this still possible right now?
– Flying to Vietnam (Da Nang) – This might be the backup plan if land routes aren’t an option.
If anyone has done one of these recently or has any updates—especially about Cambodia—I’d really appreciate the help. Just trying to plan ahead before my stamp expires. Thanks so much 💛
Up to now I've been renewing my extension of stay using an income affidavit from my consulate. The writing is on the wall that this will be discontinued at some stage in the future. Is depositing min 800k in my Thai bank 2 months prior to visa renewal sufficient? I read somewhere between the lines that you have to maintain a min of 400k over a 12 month period.
Hi, I have been married to my Thai wife 25 yrs next month. She has lived hear in the UK for most of that time.I am currently building our house in Thailand. I have the land, I have built the boundary walls & raised the ground level ready for the house build to start. I am due to retire in 3 yrs. What would be the visa I need to stay the longest time without renewing?? If it’s only a few months the I don’t want to waste money building for nothing. What would my best option please?
If you want to stay in Thailand without depositing 800,000 Baht in a Thai bank account I occasionally see people advise obtaining an OA visa, doing one border bounce after approx a year and then when the visa expires after nearly 2 years return to the UK and apply for a new OA visa to start the process again. I'm just curious if this can be done, for example, during a 1 month holiday or do you effectively have to stay in the UK for 183 days to re-establish yourself as a permanent resident before reapplying for the visa? The visa application does ask you to upload proof of permanent residency.
Does anyone have any experience of applying for a business visa? I will be looking at opening a business in Thailand but yet again Google really is not my friend with the conflicting information!
It says I must apply via a Thai embassy but goes on to say "you may be able to do this once in Thailand" May is not "you can" which is why I am here
Before asking Google I was under the impression that I can apply for a Non-B once inside Thailand but apart from that, I was hoping someone could run me through the process and any pitfalls to look out for.
The business will require premises so I will hire a solicitor to "rubber stamp" the contract so I dont get any unwelcome demands or changes by the landlord and will get them to check my paperwork is ready to submit
Foolishness will be punished by chinese burn and a nipple tweak 😁
I have recently been speaking to some fallangs who are saying that as well as having the money in the bank 3 months before your visa renewal the money has to be in the bank for 3 months after as well. Is this correct?
