Hi everyone,

we're flying to Thailand on July 17, and after researching different visa options, I feel that the DTV visa is the most suitable and future-proof solution for me and my family.

I have two questions regarding the financial requirement (500,000 THB / approx. €12,500):

1. Is it sufficient to have the money in the account at the time of application, even if it hasn’t been there for the full three months? I do have access to the required funds, but they’ve been held in other forms of investment (not in my current bank account). The money could be transferred to the account temporarily if needed, so the funds are available.

2. Do I need to show 500,000 THB per person, meaning a total of 2 million THB (~€50,000) for our family of four? Or is one combined proof of funds for the family sufficient and how much should it be?

Anyone with up-to-date info or experience would be a huge help,

thanks in advance!!

P.S. The application for the DTV is processed through the Thai Embassy in Frankfurt. My wife, my two children, and I are all German passport holders.

Hi to everyone

Is there a limit on how many times a year I can enter Thailand by plane?

I had problems entering the country the last two times (December 2024 and February 2025). They said that I already had too many Thai stamps from different years in my passport. Am I violating the law here?

I fly to Taiwan on Friday and come back to Thailand 10 days later. Now I'm worried that there could be problems with immigration again. what is the legal situation?

I am traveling with a German passport. never had an overstay either. And always travel to Thailand with a return ticket.

Did they changed tourist visa duration recently? Just came in yesterday via Bangkok with my Korean wife and kid. They got a 3 month tourist visa and me as a German a 2 month. Thought it’s only 30 days..

Hello, i couldn't find the official list of the criteria for Tourist Visa Exemption. Have relatives with german passports without facebook and would like to provide the info to them.

I know some but not exactly sure or if they are up to date.

1. Proof outbound flight within 30 day

2. 10,000THB (or 20,000THB?) or other currency cash per person.

3. Proof of accommodation

- can they use my own valid adress here in TH even it's not an hotel?

Thanks very much

Hello! As I couldn't really find was I was looking for, maybe someone herecan help: I'm on an educational visa, which will run out on the 15th of March. Can I then change back to a tourist visa? I know that I usually have to leave the country to do so, but given the Covid situation, I obviously can't. I have a German passport, if that makes a difference. Thank you so much!
