Hi everyone,

Is it recommended to submit a savings account, without any transactions at all, ans with 19k USD on it for the last three months as proof of the 500k requirement?

The money is accessible all the time.

Thanks

A newbie here..I’d like clarification on “O” retirement visa, please.

I have SS verification letter showing above the required monthly income.

I’d rather not put 800,000 baht ($25k US) into a Thai bank. Website shows I need ONE or another but I’ve seen contrary comments here.

I’ve done research and starting to read all posts…can’t find a definitive answer 🤷🏻‍♀️ Anyone know the real skinny??? Thanks much!!

DTV holder entry requirements.

Hi,

My gf and I are moving to Thailand on a DTV visa for workation. We plan to be there around 2 years, exploring Asia and working remotely (my gf works as a freelancer and I own a company).

We've seen a ton of information online about entry at the airport being a potential issue.

Can anyone share a list of things we must have upon entry to ensure we will be fine and have a smooth entry experience?

Thanks in advance

I’m leaving Thailand to go to Hong Kong tomorrow and will return some time next week. As I understand, I don’t need a re entry permit, and may be asked for proof of funds & to show a copy of my DTV certificate.

Is there anything else I should be aware of/bring with me?

90 day, single entry, Non-O visa (retirement/marriage)

For a good number of years we've been advising people to come here free stamp (visa exempt), open a bank account, transfer in the required funds and then apply for a 90 day Non-O visa in country at your immigration office.

Sadly, with the changes to the way banks allow accounts to be opened now, it is almost impossible to open a bank account on a free stamp (visa exempt) entry 😕

We are now going to suggest people who want to do year retirement or marriage extensions once they're here to get the initial 90 day Non-O visa in your country BEFORE you come here via the thai eVisa online web-portal

There are several advantages to this.

1 - you can show proof of funds in a bank in your country to get the initial visa issued from a thai consulate.

2 - it makes it WAY easier to open a bank account if you come in on a Non-O 90 day visa.

These are the requirements for the 90 day Non-O visa based on being over 50 (retirement) and the requirements for the 90 day Non-O visa based on marriage to a thai national

AND

These are the choices you would select on the eVisa online system

Non-O 90 day retirement

𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝟱𝟬 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿 (𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘄𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗻𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝟵𝟬 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀)

Non-O marriage to thai national

𝗧𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗶 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 (𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝟲𝟬 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀)
