Hello everyone, I would like to ask: the embassy requires a 6-month bank statement and a balance of 500,000 baht — does this mean the balance must be over 500,000 baht every day during those 6 months?

Hi. I'm currently trying to help my mother-in-law obtain a retirement visa. She doesn't want to go back to the UK as she no longer has a home there. Some people mentioned that it can be done in countries other than your home country, so we want to know if anyone has had success recently (without using an agent).

We're considering applying for a Non-O Retirement (90-day) visa in Vietnam, then applying for an extension in Thailand. But I'm not sure how we can prove that she meets the financial requirements -she has the 800k in her UK bank account, which she can access through her app. She could print out the bank statements herself, but they wouldn’t be verified by any British authority. I'm planning to contact the Thai Embassy in Vietnam soon, but I’d also like to hear about people’s actual experiences.

Is it possible to get a non O issued in the Uk without having the 800000baht in the bank yet ? Thanks

I would like to change to the 65,000 baht a month method for my retirement visa. I usually change currency from aud to thb and then get it sent to my Thai bank account. Will that work?

Do you need to have 500,000 baht in your bank account for 3-6 months or just is it just the final balance that needs to be 500,000?

Hey everyone!

I had a quick question about the DTV visa application process. My bank only issues official statements around the middle of each month. Since I plan to apply in early November, I won’t be able to include the official October statement by then.

Would it be okay if I attach screenshots of my account instead to show the balance? I just don’t want to risk wasting the application fee if that could be a problem.

If anyone has applied in HCM 🇻🇳 and faced a similar situation, I’d really appreciate your advice.

Thank you!

Anyone had any issues with getting a DTV through the Japanese Embassy?

Hello.

I have been a regular visitor to Thailand for many years and now is the time to stay permanently.

I will be applying for a 90 day non immigrant visa online here in the UK and then after depositing the necessary funds in a Thai bank account will wait the 60 days before heading to my local immigration office in Bueng Gan to apply for a retirement visa. On the official Thai embassy website it says that if I apply to retire in the UK I must provide a medical certificate and police clearance. But if applying in Thailand it says that these "may be requested ". My question is, will I definitely need these certificates? Or is it a case of some immigration offices or officers being more or less stringent. I do want to be prepared especially as I am selling up and leaving sunny Devon forever.

I look forward to any advice 👍

If me and my fiance have a joint account showing over $16000 the past couple of yrs. Will that work for my fiance if she's only applying for Dtv? Im getting a retirement visa. T.i.a
