Thank you all everyone specially group admin who made this wonderful discussion group.

Any questions are welcome .

I'm a sole proprietor of my LLC and all my income goes into a business bank account under the company name. I understand that for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV), they usually want to see personal bank statements, not business accounts — even if I'm the sole owner and signatory.

If I open a Wise personal account, transfer the funds from my business account to it, and keep it there, can that be used as proof of funds for the DTV application?

Also:

* How long does the money need to sit in the new personal account before it's considered valid proof?

* Will the lack of 3–6 months of personal statement history be a problem if I include a letter explaining the transfer and that I'm a sole proprietor?

Good afternoon. I came to Laos to get a 90 non-o visa because Nong Khai imm. doesn't do them. I fill out the paperwork with my 900k baht bank certificate from Krungthhai as proof of funds. They write back that they want 3 months of bank statements, which I can't obtain nor have I had the money in there 3 months. If this goes further south, do all Asian embassies need the 3 month proof of funds or is there somewhere I can go with my bank certificate being enough? TIA for any thoughts.

Has anyone successfully applied for a DTV (Digital Nomad) Visa by showing proof of funds in their bank account *while* having a new remote job?**

Here’s my situation:

1. I was on sabbatical in Southeast Asia.

2. Returned to my home country and secured a remote job.

3. Now I want to reapply for the DTV (or similar visa) for more stability abroad.

Has anyone made this work? Would love advice or tips!"

I was supposed to extend my extension of stay based on marriage a month ago, but I messed up the seasoning of funds due to some banking fees and card charges and the amount dipped under the 400k.

Since I didn't have much time to plan an alternative I flew out, stayed in another country for a few days and flew back in on a visa exempt entry.

I then started to prepare the documents for my new initial Non-O. I followed a document that is available on the immigration website and it indicated that I pretty much just need the 400k in the bank on the day of the application.

When I went to the Chiang Mai immigration office to ask for their list of requirements, they gave me a paper that lists "proof of saving transfer from abroad".

So which is it? Do they really require this proof of funds transferred from abroad? My funds have been in Thailand for a few years now and have been transferred between bank accounts, so proving that isn't really an option now.

Can't really see any other way forward other than sending it out and back in again. Thoughts?

Another one. The document online says I should apply at least 15 days before my current stamp expires, whereas the Chiang Mai immigration's document says "at least 15 working days" quite the difference.

Question for the group. I have a non O visa that I'm hoping to get a 1 year extension as my wife is Thai. Living in the Samut Sakhon area and my 90 day visa runs out on the 28th of July. I'll have the 400K baht in my bank for 2 months as of the 13th. In your experience is 2 weeks enough time to process that application (as I read online it sometimes takes 3 weeks) and what options do I have if there isn't enough time? Sorry if this is a dumb question I could find easily online but I didn't see anything.

Long post, but wanting to give as much info as possible, in hopes of getting proper / thorough answers

47 year old Canadian.

I'll be applying in either Canada, or Vietnam...in October

I haven't had an income in over 5 years

Formerly self employed.

Living off savings.

Been traveling nearly 4 years.

Recent 1 year Ed Visa (expired in Feb).

The bulk of my finances is in investments / TFSA.

I pull from TFSA as needed, keeping my bank balance at approximately 10k Canadian.

Question...

-Will the balance of my TFSA be accepted as proof of funds??

-Will my investments?

I can transfer 500 000 bhat at anytime. Should I do this now, in anticipation for applying in several months?

Should I apply in Canada or Vietnam?

I'm planning on applying for a DTV Soft Power visa through the Los Angeles consulate and had a question about proof of funds. The account I keep $17k+ in that I would provide statements for proof is a high yield online savings account administered by Goldman Sachs. Its not an investment account, its just a savings account and any transfer requests to my checking are done within 24 hours. Has anyone had any issues with that type of account being used as proof of funds.

My checking account statements show ending monthly balances of about $8k-$9k. Would including statements from that and explaining that I keep most cash in the savings and can have access within 24 hours to the savings if the need should arise?

I’ve always extended my retirement visa with the minimum 65k baht monthly deposit method. However, I’ve had in excess of 800,000 baht in a deposit account in my name only for around eighteen months. Would there be a problem if I wanted to chance to the banked money method for my next extension. Would I have to get the full twelve months statement from my Bangkok Bang account.

Do I need the proof of funds (500k TBH) 3 months before or can I send the funds to an account the month before for example?
