Hi all, I'm trying to get an e-visa (Non-Imm O/retirement) for Thailand. I have Brazilian and US passports and am applying with my Brazilian.

The problem is that I'm currently visiting family in Canada and will fly from Vancouver to Bangkok. My understanding from reading old posts here is that one must apply for an e-visa from the country from which you'll be flying to Thailand, which is why I chose Canada instead of the US.

I don't have a Canadian visa because I entered on my American passport. The application wanted proof that I'm in Canada, for which I uploaded my air ticket from Vancouver to Thailand. I also uploaded my Thai bank statement, which shows the required 800k baht.

Unfortunately, the Thai embassy replied with:

* Other request documents: Please upload a Canada PR card, visa or permit

* Financial evidence showing monthly income of no less than 65,000 THB or having the current balance of 800,000 THB, e.g. bank statements, proof of earnings: Please upload a bank statement with your name showing a monthly income of no less than 2,600 CAD or a current balance of 32,000 CAD

They seem to think I live in Canada and are not allowing for me to just be passing through. They also ignored my Thai bank account.

My questions: can I get an e-visa from a country I'm not resident in? If not, can I reapply from the USA and still fly to Thailand from Canada? And what's the problem with showing the 800k in my Thai bank account?

Thanks for any advice!

Hello everyone! I'm planning to fly to Jakarta on Sunday to apply for the DTV Visa. I have a question: has anyone here ever used a Wise account statement as a bank statement for this purpose?

Did you transfer the required amount to a THB account to meet the 500,000 THB proof requirement? I usually use a Euro account for my salary, which is also paid in Euros, but I thought it might be easier to transfer it to a THB account and use that for proof.

Would love to hear any experiences or advice. Thank you! 🙏🏼😬

Hi, I applied in Hanoi through e visa this morning and they requested additional documents this evening. But I don’t understand what they’re asking for or how to ask them for clarification. Anybody have any ideas? Thank you in advance.

Hello , appreciate all great info we have here.

Home Address - i live at thailand for last 1.5-2 years - should i put my Thai adress or my adress back at my country ?

place and nationality at birth - i don't have Russian passport but i was born at Russia and in my passport it's saying USSR as birth place . should it be ok if i just fill Russia at this area ? i know some applications decilned by info not match passport info so i'm a bit confused here if they accept it

I’m married to a Thai national. Presently I’m in India. Whats are the ways I can apply for a DTV? I’m confused about so many options being available like soft power or something. They just confuse me. Pls help someone 🙂 #tia

I am debating what way I should submit my application.

Option 1: dependant visa, my husband already got his DTV approved, we have funds in both our bank account.

Potential probelm: we are both canadians, he is polish and we have a polish marriage certificate which stated we are married in Mexico (destination wedding), it is translated and notarized in Canada, we do not have it legalized by poland officials. I consulted an agent before and they said it's required to be legalized which we won't be able to do as we are not in poland.

Option 2: soft power medical, I already have a letter from bangkok hospital for this purpose.

Potential problem: my fund in my bank account had only been in my bank since early September, would that be enough? I can provide other proof of funds in my investment accounts for more than 6 months.

Or would it work if i apply for dependent visa with a medical appointment letter and my current bank statement as supporting ? Or visa versa (apply soft power medical and attach my husband's dtv as extra supporting ? )

I am in hong kong now applying online via hong kong thai embassy (hong kong permanent resident) If that matters.

Thanks a lot for any input in advance.

Hi there, I if i apply online for a DTV from my home country,(USA) how long does it take to approve? thank you

Chat GPT says 3-7 days, but a friend told me more like 3-4 weeks

Looking for a trusted visa agent for help make dtv in jakarta?

Hey guys im trying to apply for DTV and they ask me when i plan to arrive and leave. I wanna stay (obviously) for long term like 2-3 years at least. But i will leave Thailand for a short trip to Japan after 5 days after arriving to thailand. but after that i will return and stay there. What would be the smartest answer? Just say 5 days? i fiear that they might gimme just a normal tourist visa because its "enough" for the period of time. should i just say 4 Months? to make it look like im more in need of DTV than a TV? maybe some people who successfully applied to DTV and got approved and have similar situations can tell me :)

Hi all, please excuse me if this isn’t the best question. I am doing my research into visas as my wife really wants to move to Thailand. We are US citizens. She works remotely and I believe would apply for the DVT visa. What would I do in regards to a visa or our two kids? If there is some reference material I missed somewhere, I apologize, please point me in the right direction. Thank you all so much!
