Need to confirm process for getting my FIRST one year extension after entering on a
non-o 90 day e-visa obtained in my country. I have a Thai bank account and will have 12 months of 65,000 THB entered monthly into the account from outside Thailand.
Hear that this will not be accepted for the first year extension but must have the 800,000 THB for the required 2mo-3mo deposit.
Guys, I’m a stock investor, made $250k on paper last year. Can I get a dtv as an entrepreneur? I’m all working for myself with my personal stock account.
Big thanks to this group for all the help. I’ll add my own success story here for others.
Applied in Jakarta for the *workcation* DTV before business hours on July 8th. Status changed to “Pending Approval” in the afternoon of July 11th. Got the approval email around 6 p.m. on July 15th.
Some questions or murky areas I wasn’t sure about during the process — sharing in case it helps others. Just my experience; your mileage may vary:
• Bank statements: 3 months was fine — just the first “summary” page showing the bank name, address, and balance (highlighted). Not the entire statement.
• Passport “Place of Issue” field: I entered the *country*, not the issuing authority.
• Proof of consistent income: I submitted 3 years of annual income tax returns, first page only, with the income highlighted.
• Address fields: My current address was different from my home address. On the form, home address goes at the top, current address goes at the bottom under “Is your permanent address same as your current address?”
Overall, I learned from this group not to take form preparation lightly. Create a clean, well-organized PDF designed for a non-native English speaker. Make their life easy. Highlight all relevant numbers. Write a clear cover letter explaining what’s included and how to interpret your documents. Eliminate all vagueness.
Example: they ask for proof of current location, so give them the passport stamp, hotel reservation, a photo of you in the hotel holding the passport stamp, plane ticket, etc. Leave no doubt.
Also — don’t use an agent. It won’t be faster. It won’t be better. I suspect that most of the people on here mentioning specific agents are just rather unethical and dishonest marketing tactics. The required documents are pretty straightforward, and the submission process itself is very easy. Just *triple check everything.*
Thanks again to everyone for the assistance! If you need me, I'll be drowning in Pad Thai.🤤
I’m applying for a Thai non O-A visa. [members only]
One of the requirements is to provide a ”Recent bank statement for the last three months showing the applicant's name and ending balance of no less than $30,000 or proof of monthly income of not less than $2,500/month) along with the current bank statement showing incoming income”. I meet the $2,500/month requirement, though I only had the $30,000 for two months.
The doubt is that I usually keep the vast majority invested and not in a bank account.
Would it be beneficial to include a formal document from my investment account that indicates the total amount invested? The amount is significantly higher than the requirement, amounting to 800,000 baht.
Should I wait an additional month to submit my application?
I already rented a place to live. Should I provide a copy of the documentation from the home lease?
Is the application process based solely on uploading documents to the website or are the documents mailed to the embassy?
Thank you in advance.
PS: I already have Thai health insurance, completed the background check, the health certificate, a copy of my passport, and recent photos. My lease starts August 15.
