Just a quick question... I know that to get a retirement visa, you need a deposit of 800,000 baht in a Thai bank. Banks offer different types of accounts: current, savings, and fixed deposits. Fixed deposits offer better interest rates. Are any of the three types of accounts accepted for this visa? Thanks for every comments

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!

Has anyone had to show proof of funds on their 6 month DTV check?

I’m sure this has been asked before but a search could t find exactly what I wanted and so:

Can I use an online ‘instant savings account’ in the UK such as Atom Bank as my proof of funds?

Thank you
