Thanks for all information everyone has shared!

I’m hoping someone can help me with an answer to this. I am US citizen trying to apply to my local thai embassy which is Washington DC. The consulate visa department never answers their phone or emails I have sent… Does anyone know if I have to keep the 500k bhat in my checking acct for a certain period of time at this embassy location before applying? I keep seeing 3 months in certain places but also saw someone in London applied the day after the $ was put into his acct and he was approved.

In regards to Washington DC Royal Embassy, the 3 months of statements $500,000 Baht, does each statement individually have to show over 500k baht or just the final balance period has to show the needed amount? My May statement has a little over 17k and a screenshot of todays balance is well over 17K, However April and March statements are not but they do show continuous deposits.

Anxiety came to a stop today….. thanks soo much for all of the input from everyone in the group. I learned ALOT! Processed through Washington DC embassy, took about 2 weeks…. The hold up is they asked me to upload taxes from 2023 and or 2024. But after I submitted it today, it was approved within 2 hours!

I'm currently waiting for LTR but it could take months before their decision. I was hoping to visit for Thai New Year. I'll be applying for remote worker as I have an oversea employer in USA. I notice different embassy may differ in completion time. My embassy would be Washington DC. I have an authorized letter allowing me to work from Thailand. Yes I have 500k in savings in a regular bank.

- Is it advisable to start the DTV application while waiting for LTR?

- What the current completion time for DTV for Washington DC?

- Do you think I could be approved for DTV before the Thai New Year?

Kaawp khun khrap 🙏🏻

So here is my story.

Visa applied Online Oct 25, 2024 via Washington, DC Embassy.

Nationality: Pakistan

Documents Submitted: Passport, Bank Statements 3 months, Driver License

Additional Documents Request: Oct 31, 2024

Submitted: US Visa, Company Letter

Visa Received via Email: Nov 4, 2024

Has anyone in here applied for the DTV from the washington dc embassy? When i was looking at the thailand website it says the amount of money needed in your account is set by the embassy but it’s so hard to get a response at the DC embassy. Me and my boyfriend are set to start our expat journey on November 3rd and our first stop is thailand however we are unsure what visa we would need to get! We are currently getting our TEFL and the program would be completed there but i’m getting mixed reviews on applying to teaching jobs before moving vs doing it after moving because of course visa concerns ! Could anyone direct me to a youtuber or a blog with better information ? I’ve been using reddit , national pages and the “Retired working for you “ youtube channel

What is the processing time at Wah DC Embassy for DTV ...applied and paid fee on 07Aug...still no response ..?

Has anybody pulled a Tourist Visa from Washington DC Embassy?

And advice? Tips tricks? Is it fairly straigt forward?

Good morning,

For an OA retirement visa from Washington DC embassy, is 3 weeks enough time to process? I’m debating on a great flight I just found.

Thanks everyone.
