Has anyone used Siam Legal as an agent to apply for retirement visa?

Question: We are trying to plan for my Thai girlfriend to visit the UK for for the first time, for a short period, probably in the region of 5 days, plus a 7 day cruise to the Norwegian Fjords sandwiched in the middle. She has done group/family travel to the Schengen Zone a couple of times without any visa issues. In an attempt to get the UK Standard Visitor Visa application to go through smoothly, what kind of amount of funds does she need to prove to have in her bank account to satisfy UK immigration requirement for the visa application, bearing in mind she will only be in the UK for about 5 days on this first visit?

Return flight ticket, accommodation booked, having a educated and decent job, own house, family commitments, never overstayed anywhere, seems to tick most other boxes to satisfy the application. Just needing an idea of the amount of funds in her account that she will need to show, to allow the application to go smoothly

I got my DTV approved on 9th April from thailand embassy in HCM vietnam then arrived at Bkk airport on 10th April no question asked the officer did not even look at DTV visa on my phone as I believe it’s already on their system when they scan my passport. I left bkk on 13th May through autogate then came back to Bkk on 17th and again no question asked as quick as hundred of times I entered Thailand with visa excemption.

If you had to apply for the DTV visa again, in which Southeast Asian country or at which Thai embassy in a Southeast Asian country would you submit your application, considering the overall process, such as providing bank statements and other required documents?

Hi all, I'm planning to do 2 trips to Thailand later this year being November to December for 6 weeks and then return in early January till early April. I have asked the UK Thailand embassy and they have told me to get a METV - Multi Entry Tourist Visa and the guidance note states the following shuttle h I don't understand. Can any body help me as I'm unsure when to complete the application form and what dates I should put on it..

The validity of the METV is 6 months from the issue which means you must enter before the ‘Enter Before’ date shown. The entry before the date is important because the last possible entrance for 60 days has to be used when entering the day before the end before the date. Two of the three 60 day exit stamps could possibly be extended for 30 days at a Thai immigration office although your last entry must be no later than the ‘Enter Before’ date.

Cheers in advance

Looking for advice.

My dad is 70 and planing to travel back to Thailand for long term stay. Which category of visa he needs to go with it?

He is retired, pretty healthy, no income but 6 of his children in US can support him financially. I heard retirement visa is hard to get for him and I just curious if DTV is a little bit more flexible and easy for him.

Thanks for reading my message!

Well what an interesting process..

I’m applying for Non O retirement visa through an agent.

Have bank acct with 800k

TM30 with one year lease.

I took photos as required then had to download Line and do a video call showing, my room etc and they want to see the power meter with me beside it.

Luckily the office girl explained that the owner is the person the meter is registered too.

Didn’t know a video call had to be done, that’s news.

Hi. I submitted dtv application in Cambodia on April 27. Additional document request came on April 28, which I submitted to their request on the same day. Does that mean Day 1 is April 29?

Also, I checked the holiday schedule on the Phnom Penh Thai Embassy website and found only 3 holidays during this time - May 5, 12, and 14.

So if I'm counting the days correctly, it means Day 11 was May 16. And today (May 19) is Day 12. So should I still hear something today? I'm just wondering if I still need extend my hotel further.

Am I counting the days correctly? And is it still 11 working days for Cambodia? Anyone else in the same boat? Or have any insight? Much appreciated.

Hi everyone,

we're flying to Thailand on July 17, and after researching different visa options, I feel that the DTV visa is the most suitable and future-proof solution for me and my family.

I have two questions regarding the financial requirement (500,000 THB / approx. €12,500):

1. Is it sufficient to have the money in the account at the time of application, even if it hasn’t been there for the full three months? I do have access to the required funds, but they’ve been held in other forms of investment (not in my current bank account). The money could be transferred to the account temporarily if needed, so the funds are available.

2. Do I need to show 500,000 THB per person, meaning a total of 2 million THB (~€50,000) for our family of four? Or is one combined proof of funds for the family sufficient and how much should it be?

Anyone with up-to-date info or experience would be a huge help,

thanks in advance!!

P.S. The application for the DTV is processed through the Thai Embassy in Frankfurt. My wife, my two children, and I are all German passport holders.

1- Which country will be easy and faster as I’m Indian passport holder so between Indonesia and Vietnam which one I have to choose.

2 - How I have to pay DTV fees 10000B,

as mentioned I can make a demand draft to that particular embassy but I need a proper information on this

3- Now I’m in India so while filling the form what I have to choose in my current address, it should be My hotel booking of the city of embassy like- Hotel in Vietnam or Jakarta or I have to put my current address of India .
