For the DTV is the 500,000 baht requirement just for your current balance? Or do all 3 bank statements you submit need to be above 500,000 baht?

My closing statements are:

August $20,000 (650k baht)

Sept $15,300 (498k baht) at today's exchange rate

Oct $18,000 (580k baht)

Nov $19,000 ($610k baht)

Am I going to be rejected because of my September statement?

Are there certain consulates that are bad and good for this?

Have USA Passport and applying for Workation Freelancer.

Thinking of applying in Taipei, HCMC, Hanoi, or Manila. I'm already in Asia.

I want to apply for the DTV visa but under soft core heading how would one sign up for activities when you are not currently in Thailand. Would Immigration issue the visa on the basis that you will sign up for a course when you arrive in Thailand.

Quick question, does the 90 day reporting rule apply for the DTV VISA if you're in the country for more than 90 days? Also can it be done online or do I have to go to the immigration off office? I had a look online it the visa it applies all other visa except DTV? Maybe the site I was reading hasn't updated it for the DTV VISA because it is fairly new.

Entered at CNX today with no questions (pre-filled TDAC, laminated DTV). Funny story though: I put the date of a flight out that I picked randomly in March (using an onward air service) because I always worry about being rejected for not having an onward ticket. They stamped my passport for DTV, but put the exit date as the date in March. I was planning to take a trip out sooner than 6 months anyway but be warned!

If you have the DTV for Thai language lessons, how long are you allowed to be out of the country? For example, if we wanted to travel somewhere in Asia for a couple of weeks, would that be allowed? I haven't found any information on this.

I have applied for DTV using Discover Thai nature for which im genuinely excited- but does this mean I have to live in Bangkok the whole time? That feels like a huge commitment - I would like to give it a try but if it doesn’t work and I want to move during the course year what happens?

Issue with Bank Statements Timing

Hello everyone, I have a question about the DTV application.

I would like to apply at the Thai Embassy in Rome, but I have an issue with my bank statements.

My bank (Fineco bank) allows me to download a 6-month statement, but it only releases the official document at the end of each quarter.

For example:

If I apply in May, I can only download the statement for Jan–Feb–Mar, while Apr–May–Jun will only be available in July.

This means that during certain months of the year, I cannot provide a fully updated statement.

Has anyone had the same problem?

Could this cause issues with the DTV application?

Thank you in advance 🙏

Hey, I need your help please. I would like to start of next year March for approx. 1 year to Thailand to visit several schools for Muay Thai aka Thai Soft Power. I've been trying to reach the consulate for 14 days. By phone and mail. But no chance. What kind of visa should I apply? DTV? And when should I apply for it? Thank you very much for your help. Best regards

Hej, ich bräuchte bitte eure Hilfe. Ich möchte ab nächstes Jahr Anfang März für ca. 1 Jahr nach Thailand um mehrere Schulen für Muay Thai also Thai Soft Power und zu besuchen. Ich probiere seit 14 Tagen das Konsulat zu erreichen. Per Telefon und per Mail. Aber keine Chance. Was soll ich für ein Visum beantragen? DTV? Und wann soll ich es beantragen? Vielen lieben Dank für eure Hilfe. Liebe Grüße

Asking for a friend ka, please recommend a good and reasonable agent for work permit/visa 🙏🙏🙏

How to contact Phnom Penh? I submitted and paid on 30oct2025, additional documents on 7nov. Since then, Pending Approval. I emailed them 5 days ago, no reply. I called several times, ringing, then hangs up. I can stay in Cambodia until 27nov and now getting concerned if I get the visa in time.

With current tightening of visa rules, I might get problems to enter Thailand on another visa exempt. What do IOs think about people who enter Thailand while their visa is processing? Fortunately I'm flexible in space and time, can extend my stay in Cambodia or go to Lao and wait until I get the visa. But I don't like the idea of traveling around without an idea if and when I get my DTV.
