Hello, I plan to retire and relocate to Thailand next year. Despite not having the 800,000 Thai baht requirement, I receive a monthly income of about $3,000. Can I secure a retirement visa using just my monthly income?

Looking to apply for DTV visa for me and my wife and I have a couple of questions. 🙏🏽

Do I apply myself and then she would be the sponsor ? We are married legally in America. Or do we need to apply seperately ?

Do I need to have the 500,000 baht in both of our bank accounts when applying ?

Can the 500,000 Baht be proven by crypto ?

I currently have all my money in XRP on an exchange (in my name) and I do not wanna miss this pump to apply. 😂

Thank you in advance for any of your responses.

Hi there, I’ve a couple of questions that I’d love to be answered. I have looked online but some of the answers don’t go quite in depth. So if any can be answered that would be great.

1. When applying for mauy Thai visa. Can I just get the 15 lessons and that’s it for 5 years or need to keep doing paying every 6 months ?

2 can my wife come on my visa and if so. Does she need to also have 500,000 in the bank also ? Or can we have the money in the joint account and show separately

3 I have all my money spread out. So am I able to just transfer into a bank account and show this. Or do they not like having money transferred before applying.

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone, I’d really appreciate your advice🙏

1) I’m an online freelance teacher with no official employer. What should I include in my professional portfolio for the application? Are bank slips accepted as proof of income from clients? Do I need to show contracts with my students? I’d especially love to hear from other freelance teachers who’ve been through this process

2) I plan to apply as the main visa holder, with my husband as a dependant. However, the required 500K baht is in *his* account. Has anyone successfully applied with the funds in a spouse’s name? Is it accepted?

3) Lastly, for someone with a Russian passport, which country is currently the easiest and fastest to apply from — Malaysia, Cambodia, or Vietnam?

What embassy to apply from London or Paris?

Hello, I am an Irish passport holder (no other passport) but I am a resident in France with a French residency card, so naturally I should be applying in Paris but my bank account is a GBP UK bank. Normally I would apply from Paris as anyone knows how to convert currency but would rather double check before spending 350€. Physically I am located in France but I travel to Ireland all the time so at the time of application I can be in either Ireland or France. My documents are all in English and both countries only require most recent single bank statement. With London requiring 2k less in the account.

Thank you in advance

Edit: Paris embassy have said the following “You need to show a bank certificate with 15,000 in euros.” So Paris does not accept the equivalent in a foreign currency incase anyone wants to apply in the future.

Spouse Visa annual extension question: Does Chaengwattana (CW) Immigration accept the 40K baht monthly deposit from foreign account in lieu of the 400K banked money method?

From : [members only] - are the references to 'both' (applicant & spouse) having either the minimum 40,000 income, or having the 400,000 balance correct now ? And is the reference to a '3 month' seasoning of the financial levels correct/ in current use ? Thanks.

Are you allowed to live in Thailand for 5 years with a DTV visa if you leave Thailand every 180 days?

Thinking of moving to isan to live what paper work would I need

I’m planning to apply for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) from Hanoi and had a question regarding the financial requirement. Specifically, does anyone know how long the 500,000 THB needs to be in the bank account before applying? Has anyone here been approved with the funds in their account for less than a month? Thanks 🙏
