I applied for my DTV visa in the UK as a Freelancer, I rent out an apartment, let's say.

Firstly I did intensive research and read everything since June.

Applied on the 10th September via the evisa online and sent in-

1. Copy biodata passport page

2. Proof of capital

3. An overview of what I did and why I thought I would be a good fit for the DTV

4. Bank statements showing the income monthly over past 12 months.

5. Photograph I had taken and used at immigration in Thailand.

6. £300

Within a day I had a reply asking for 4 pieces of information -

1. Tax returns - no problem submitted.

2. A letter from an estate agent or if not an explanation- no problem submitted with tenant contract and explanation I ran things myself.

3. Upload my flight booking - although not part of the requirements it is a question on the e-visa website - no problem I'd read enough to know so I had a return ticket and submitted it.

4. A photograph close up - no problem uploaded.

Within a day, another request for 2 pieces of information-

1. A formal letter to the Royal Thai Embassy explaining what I do and why I wanted to spend time doing things in Thailand - no problem I wrote a very official letter.

2. Another photograph, they want your face to take up 70 - 80% of the picture - try again 😆

Then my application went to pending decision, few, I waited and I waited, I thought it wasn't going to happen, then on the 20th 2345hrs it came through approved. Celebrations yay.

Points I noted were, they asked alot more detail than everything I had read suggested, wanted full address and contact details of who/where I was staying.

I'm so overwhelmed, I've had a tough few years and this is life changing for me, a new beginning.

So if your applying, what I take from it is, read and understand everything, have everything and more ready, expect alot more than what the simple flyers say, maybe they are tightening up as more apply who knows.

Thanks to the Royal Thai Embassy

Hi. I'm going to Immigration Division 1 first week of October to extend my current stamp valid until Oct 31 granted under OA visa. I think I got all the requirements in order. Insurance ready and 800K++ in the Thai bank since December 2023.

But I'm a bit confused about what documents I need to provide for the financial proof. Bank book isnt enough? Do I need the inward international transfer receipt? Is that ok that transfer was made on December 2023?

I read something about I need to request an additional letter from the bank. What is this letter exactly? How old can this document be issued since I will submit all the documents on the first week of October.

I would appreciate any clarification on this matter. Thanks in advance.

This is the requirement list for non imm O and OA extensions on Koh Samui, and now, also Phangan.

The requirement for a house number photo (Item 12.) is new to me, but no problem.

Item 13. I dont recollect seeing before and dont recognise the numeric 654/2564

Anyone know?

🙏

Is this all correct and current?

Thank you for your reassurance

Last Wednesday I requested letter and 12 month statement from Bangkok Bank Headquarters and paid 200b fee. This morning I picked up statement which seems to be presented in several different ways but there is no letter. If this is needed could you please show me what it looks like? My appointment from Non O retirement extension is on Thursday.

Hi, In June I was in the process of applying for a Retiree non-imm OA visa through the Thai Embassy in London (by e-visa process). They required a doctor certificate to say I did not have Leprosy, Elephantosis, Syphilis stage 3, drug addiction. My doctor in Wales refused to do it, as it's not a service available from NHS and they dont have tome to do private work. Basically I couldn't find a doctor or travel clinic anywhere to do it. So I asked Thai Embassy how to proceed, and they said apply for 90 Day non-imm O and sort out the extension in Thailand.

So that's how I'm here, and now working through what I need for the 12 month extention. The London Embassy was clear on financial requirements. It was 65,000 Baht per month income OR 800,000 Baht in a bank (see pic). Now I am here, the requirement is equally clear that I must have BOTH 65k income AND 800k in a bank. There is no mention of a medical certificate at all.

Has anyone else come across this dilemma before? Is there any way of overcoming it?

Thanks for your help.

I will apply for the tourist visa in Ho Chi Minh, and on the proof of funds requirement it says:

"2.6. Evidence of adequate finance

* Showing transaction not less than 6 months."

Are they serious asking to see my full bank transaction statement for the last 6 months (about 20 pages)?
