Hello, apologies if this question has already been answered, but I searched the group history and did not see anything relevant.

Will an IRA account + balance suffice for financial evidence of sufficient funds or does this need to be stored in account that is considered more liquid?

As eventually all 94 Thai Embassies/Consulates around the world will be using the Thai e-Visa for accepting visa applications and issuing Thai e-Visa's, some of the Frequently Asked Questions are succinctly answered by the Royal Thai Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia who started with Thai e-Visa today (26 November 2024):

1.) you have to physically be in the country of where the Thai Embassy/Consulate is located to apply for a Thai e-Visa;

2.) you will not be making any appointments to visit any Thai Embassy/Consulate who issue Thai e-Visa;

3.) it's just best to physically print out the PDF of your Thai e-Visa and have it with your passport (yes, many have reported that they just showed the image of the Thai e-Visa PDF on their mobile cell phone, or the Thai e-Visa should be in Thai immigration's database system, etc. etc.): just print out the Thai e-Visa PDF!

4.) if there is an error, typo, incorrect spelling, etc., then the Thai e-Visa application can be rejected and no correction will most likely be done to rectify and No Refund!

5.) Thai e-Visa processing times are longer than previously in-person visa applications issuing Thai visa stickers....that may shorten in the future, but then again, it may not....

Hey Guys,

I am looking into doing a 2 week to 6 week Thai Cooking course to attain a DTV visa. I emailed the school and they said their students who have already taken the course have been given a 5 year visa (must leave every 180 days).

I can't help but think and feel it can't be true, doing a 2 week up to 6 week course and getting a 5 year visa is ringing some alarm bells in me.

Has anyone here done this and been successful?

I would really appreciate some insights and proof if it has worked for you.

Thank you very much

So, the retirement visa requires two months of having 800k in the bank before switching to monthly income, instead,

How about the marriage visa? Does it also mandate two prior months of money in the bank, or can one start out with monthly income?

Also, does the address you use with your Thai bank need to match the address of your non-O visa?

Thanks in advance for your replies!

What’s the best visa to retire on there please thanks

I am inquiring about the DTV for dependents. While I have researched the necessary documents, I would appreciate information from someone who has experience with the process about the requirements for dependent applications.

Strange first time seeing HCM embassy ask income tax. Photo is not my one saw from other gp

Has anyone been able to obtain their DTV as a digital nomad/freelance solely using their NON MONETIZED YouTube channel as a portfolio? If you have, I would love to hear about how you did it. Thanks in advance.

I got married in Thailand, and I have Thai children. I want to apply for a DTV VISA. My Thai bank account deposit and withdraw 400,000 THB every month, but I have recently encountered some problems and now I want to start the process over.

Can anyone guide me on how long the 500,000 THB needs to be in the account? Also, will my current bank transactions be helpful for the visa application?

Thank you for your help! 🙏

Hey guys 👋.Has anyone any experience applying for digital nomad visas? My company have requested I have a working visa in Thailand that they will approve if I want to work remotely for a few months.

I am applying on the official Thai visa website. Can the having 500000 tbh in bank be swapped for a couple of months bank statements or do you have to have the 500000 in your bank when applying and on arrival ?

I have all other documentation just do not have 500000 in my account currently. Is there a way around this ? Thanking you ,🙏
