Hello, I am inquiring about the retirement visa. I have plans to travel to Thailand in March of 2026. Would you apply for the retirement visa prior to coming or apply for the tourist visa 1st? Hope this makes sense. Trying to get clarity. Thank you.

I have a question regarding financial proof for the DTV visa

I provided the following documents:

• A bank statement from my business account showing transaction history for the last 3 months with total inflow of more than 500,000 THB

• A bank statement from my separate savings account showing a balance of more than 500,000 THB, issued on 22 December

After that, the consulate replied with this request:

Other requested documents: bank documents showing FINAL BALANCE equal to at least 500,000 THB for PAST THREE MONTHS, in addition to the bank document from 22 December provided. Bank document must show final balances, no need to show the transaction history.

Now I’m a bit confused about what exactly they expect.

If someone has already solved this exact situation — I’d really appreciate your experience 🙏

Hi Everyone, I'm in Austin Texas, USA and have already have flight booked from DFW to CNX on January 11th, 2026. I can cleanly show bank statements, a portfolio of clients and sales of IP assets.

Can you recommend a school or agent who can help me get a 5-year DTV Soft Power Visa in Chiang Mai?

I sent a formal inquiry letter to New Stamford Language School and followed up through Facebook, WhatsApp and LinkedIn but never heard back.

Not so much a DTV question but do you carry your passport with you? I never leave our home without it but fiance thinks its not necessary. I’ve been asked for my passport several times on days I didn’t think id need it and continue to carry it daily

Approved in Saigon / Thanh Pho Ho Chi Minh.

I did not season the account. I transferred the money ~3 days before applying.

I did not use an agency.

I am not a freelancer: I am full time employed for over 2 years at the same job.

I submitted W2 statements, not my full prior 2 years taxes.

I drew a bright red box on the bank statements for my "income" transactions

I submitted my payroll statements for the past 6 months, all 12 of them :(

I work remotely for an international company that operates in Thailand (think Agoda, but not Agoda). There was no concerns from them about me needing to get a Thai work permit instead of DTV.

My employer let me generate a "This kid works remotely for us and earns $XXX/mo"

As an American, any important currency numb ers (like bank account totals or income letters), I converted to Thai Baht, so they would not be confused with SGD / HKD / etc which uses the same currency symbol, but is lower value (which could put you at risk for being below limits if misunderstood).

Hi!

Does anybody get Thai visa recently, who has Syrian passport

Is it possible to apply Thai visa in Jakarta without residency permit?

Hello,

I will apply for a volunteer visa with invitation letters from government agencies.

Can I apply in KL or Jakarta without having residency permit in those countries?

People in here might have experience about it.

Thanks in advance.

I have a DTV visa but I am going to get a DTV visa for my wife and my child who is 4 years old. We are planning to apply for it in Kuala Lumpur. Is there a chance that the DTV visa for them could be denied? And how long does the process usually take for a family DTV visa?

Is there a visa that doesn’t require police certificate ?

I’m looking for a room for rent for my daughter who’s going to work in Bangkok in this area. 5000 Baht up per month. Any suggestions ?
