This year, after my education visa expired, I applied for the DTV twice.

The first time was through an agency under the “sports” category (in Malaysia) , and the second time was also through an agency, using proof of funds in my bank account (in vietnam). Both applications were rejected.

Why do you think this could have happened?

Certificate of Residence

I’m on business owner / freelancer DTV

I want to get the certificate in order to register bike on my name.

Today I went to an immigration office in Koh Phangan with:

- TM30

- Passport copy

- DTV copy

- 4x6 photos

But I’ve got an answer that I need to provide my bank statements and proof of funds again. Even though DTV started couple of weeks ago.

Perhaps I should try Koh samui? I’ve seen posts in this group saying they got it with what I’ve already brought.

These guys at KP has always been angry about everything. Extremely unpleasant to go there.

Hello

I know immigration may ask the 3 prof, 20k cash return fly and hotel booking

My question is

How many day need to book the hotel?

Return fly after 45 days, im Swiss

I have a hotel booking in pattaya for 30 days already but is just booked via a simple email with answers from hotel because they are not in any booking Plattform and i worry little bit because i coming every year for 45-60 days, last time fly home 31 December 2024

am i able to just transfer 15k USD from stocks to savings and let it sit for 3 months and that will do for my DTV proof of funds?

for DTV is it ok to show proof of funds in a wise account?

I have dtv visa i get in march this year and i stayed 180 days after that i travel to vietnam for a week and come back and that time their is no new visa rules and they didnt ask me anything and i came normally without hustle . But if i go again and come back do i need to show them proof of 500k in bank acount and also does i need to show my soft thai activities program again which is already completed but this time do i neeed to show again ?

Hi all.

I want to apply from Italy.

No problem for the 500k.

My money are all invested through a broker (Interactive Brokers and Scalable).

Do you think it could be a problem?

Just in case I can sell some investments and buy again later, but I could loose money.

Thank you!

I have a question regarding changing my visa-exempt stamp to Non O based on marriage. Has anyone had experience doing this within Thailand?

I have read mixed reviews on this, but it seems like this can be done at Chaeng Wattana.

I meet the requirements on documentation, but have also read that it’s not as plain sailing as it seems and can just be down to officer desecration on the day 🤔

Hello everyone!

I’m new to the group, and was super thrilled to find so many of you posting and referencing so much helpful information!

I have a question I hope I can get clarification on.

This is specifically for the DTV soft power culinary schooling. 

I have my funds in a high yield savings account with Wealthfront and I have access to funds between this account and my personal Wells Fargo account with immediate transfers between the two.

My question is, can I submit the 3 months statement required of my Wealthfront account for proof of funds? Or, does it have to be in my personal checking account?

I really appreciate all of you for taking the time out to read this, and providing me with any helpful information!!

Thank you!! 🙏🏼

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice about applying for a DTV.

How long does approval usually take, and what evidence is best to submit? I have a website portfolio that shows my work, but I’m not sure if that’s enough.

For proof of funds, can I use statements from my investments on Freetrade, where my money is currently held? Would that be accepted for the DTV?

I’m currently living in the UK (since July 2025), and before that I was travelling through multiple countries.

Thanks in advance for any help!
