Up to now I've been renewing my extension of stay using an income affidavit from my consulate. The writing is on the wall that this will be discontinued at some stage in the future. Is depositing min 800k in my Thai bank 2 months prior to visa renewal sufficient? I read somewhere between the lines that you have to maintain a min of 400k over a 12 month period.

Thank you

There has been alot of excitement regarding Bangkok bank's introduction of a requirement for you to have a 4 month lumpsum either before your ext or feeze funds afterward, to obtain a balance certificate for your visa extension. What I've not seen is where someone is using the monthly income method to fulfill the financial commitment? Do they now need the lumpsum as well?

I have a question about the DTV visa in Thailand. I want to apply for it. I've been in Thailand in February. I left to do a border run in Malaysia and then I came back and I have been training Muay Thai in Chiang Mai for the past month. I just left again on July 4th to meet my parents in Sicily and then I'm supposed to fly back the 19th. I talked to my coach. He told me to go to Bali to fill out for the DTV visa. My question is about the 500k baht. I have a Vanguard account that's had over 11,000 usd in it within the past three months and now I just went ahead and completed it and put the 15,000 USD which is the 500,000 baht. Will that be acceptable or do they need to see that 500k bot in my account for more than three months? My coach’s is filling out the proper paperwork for my dtv visa through Muay Thai. I also have 55k USD in my 401k on my vanguard but I’m not sure if that matters. I know have 17580 usd in my vanguard account now. This is not a 401k. Also where is the best place and fastest to apply for the dtv visa. I fly out the 19th and do not have a flight out yet so figuring out my next move to apply for this

Hi,

I have done some searching of old posts on here and think I have my answer ..... but I sort of need to ask still and be reasured .... sorry.

I have a 12 month Non O visa .... secured with a 800,000 baht deposit and am transiting to a 65,000 monthly deposit.

But .... I have neglected to update my bank book and lost 4 months of banking life.

Will this be a problem at my renewal in February or are the bank statements the key record and the deposit book more about the last entry pre applying for a renwal ... ie money is still in the accout.

Thanks so much.

Hi!

Need a visa agent to support me and my VN gf with DTV visas. I'm Lithuanian. Have the needed money on account, just don't want to do it through my embassy in person, as it's in Denmark. I'm in VN now, would be best to solve all here or online. Any options?

Thanks!

I would like to retire in Bangkok mid to late October. I am 65 from US . I have the baht and pension. Is there anyway possible to get some kind of retirement visa without insurance???

When you complete the o -a visa do you need to prove you have 800000. Sorry if this has already been asked. Just need to get finance sorted.

What is the requirement for the 65000 baht per month deposit?Can I transfer the said amount from my savings account back home per month..To transfer pensions and annuities etc. seems confusing? Thanks for your help.

Hi everyone. Just a quick(ish) question as having done my own research into it I’m pretty sure of the answer but would just like a second opinion. Recently reached retirement age here in the UK and I receive £920 a month and that equates to roughly B40,000 a month, I don’t have a private pension so only have the state pension to rely on. I know the minimum is B65,000 a month to qualify for applying for a retirement visa or you can have B800,000 in a bank account, but that is not an option for me. Recently saw on a video on YouTube (I know, not always the best font of information) that in certain circumstances you can get a retirement visa and you only need to have a monthly income of around B33,000. I’ve spent quite a bit of time trying to find info on this but haven’t discovered anything, so I’m guessing that information was incorrect. Was just wondering if anyone had ever heard of the B33,000 option or it it was just false information. TIA

I have recently been speaking to some fallangs who are saying that as well as having the money in the bank 3 months before your visa renewal the money has to be in the bank for 3 months after as well. Is this correct?
