Hello,

I have a few questions regarding the bank statement to prove the 500k THB, although I scrolled the group posts by searching, I couldn't find something similar to my situation (apologized if my questions were actually already answered):

1. I'm a French citizen, with Permanent Residency in Taiwan. I have worked in Taiwan for 6 years, so I can show my salary slip until June 2024.

2. I recently started a new job. It's a consultant contract, with a Singaporean company, starting from July 2024 to December 2024. Same here I can show my contract and my invoices for July+August payment.

3. The thing is, I made few big operations with my Taiwanese bank account so currently my Taiwanese account doesn't have 500k THB.

4. However, in France we have a family shared account, (I have the power of attorney for this account but it's not under my name, my parents'), where we do have more than 500k THB.

Questions:

1. Would you advise to transfer money from the family account to my own personal account? Or a statement proving that I have the power of attorney would be enough?

2. If I do need to transfer on an account under my name: Is transferring to my French bank account would do, or is it better to transfer directly to my Taiwanese account, which I used daily for the past 6 years (I received all my salary on this account)?

3. I understand that each embassy/office have different rules regarding the period we have those 500k THB in the account.

Let's say I do the necessary transfers next week, would you recommend Taipei or Vientiane? I have family in both cities so its convenient for me to stay there few days, hence those two options..

Thank you in advance for your answers!

Just confirming for Chiang Mai immigration seasoned money for extension. 800,000 two months prior to extension date and 3 months post. then can drop down to 400,000. I need some money.......

A quick question about the e-visa situation from Thai embassy London. When applying for a SINGLE ENTRY non immigrant visa o based on Thai wife they ask for proof of either 400k or having a monthly income in the UK of over 40k per month. Everywhere else I've ever applied for my single entry they do not require this. My question is is this the e-visa website failing to properly consider single entry requirements or is this actually the requirements for a single entry from the UK.

Hello, my boyfriend is planning to apply for the dtv. I’m wondering if his dad could be his sponsor and he shows his bank statements or he needs to have 500k in his bank account.

Thanks in advance

Hi all. Has anyone applied in Taipei with just showing current balance of 500k, or they require 1-2-3 actual statements?

In general how was the experience?

Tnx

Wanting to apply for DTV for medical treatment, does anyone know if they accept Medical certificates from clinics and not hospitals?

Also has anyone been able to use their partners income to prove they have income and 500,000 baht in the bank? As I am out of work due to medical conditions but am financially supported by my partner and my name is also on his account.

Been talking to a lawyer and they’re saying it’s possible but to pay a fee to continue with the process, thought I’d see if anyone else has been able to get the DTV under these circumstances.

I was denied a DTV Visa at the Vancouver Thai Consulate, I am self employed, doing all my business online, I had previously called the consulate to ask if I would qualify, the person I talked to before I applied said I would be OK, now the consulate is saying I am not approved, I paid teh $650, no idea what to do now. I'll call them monday and ask what I can do, maybe sign up for cooking classes, I'll find out how many classes ect. I spent a lot of time getting my business documents for them, in the end they said I did not qualify. I don't understand I do all my business online, self employed, and was told by an employee at the consulate that I qualified (before I paid the fee)

DTV success in Vientiane! I applied Sept 11 as a freelancer and picked up on Sept 13. This is what I included in my application (I threw everything I had at it):

FOR THE FINANCIAL REQUIREMENT:

* Bank statements from the past year of 2 accounts adding to the required 500K (neither account has the full amount). Unfortunately my statements are only produced each quarter so I submitted screenshots of the current balance showing the most recent date (3 days before I submitted). At the counter, they asked me to write a short note explaining the discontinuity in the statements, which I did.

FOR MY PORTFOLIO AS A FREELANCE WRITER:

* My CV

* 6 Short "confirmation" letters from a sample of clients stating that I provide ongoing work from them since (date). Letters signed/logo and dated.

* Samples of invoices & pay slips/transfers to Wise over the past year.

* Screenshots of my LI & business FB page showing recent reviews.

* Screenshot of Fiverr profile showing recent reviews and earnings page.

ADDITIONAL:

* Application (obvs)

* Title deed (I own a condo so made sense to include that)

* Photocopies of every page in my passport, including the one showing entry to Laos.

I got there early on my appointment day. I had a number that put me in the 11:30-12 slot but I was out of there by 10am (first come first served). On pick up day, I got there at 12 and was first in line for the 13:30 open time. I was out by 13:31 :)

I was super stressed because my work has been thin and irregular for the past several months. Thankfully, I had enough history to show. So, it doesn't seem like consistent, regular income is required.

Also, I had a still-valid for 6 months education visa and was unsure if they would deny the DTV application on that basis. I got a re-entry stamp before I left just in case my application was rejected then I could still ride out the last months of my current visa. No problems. All good.

Update on my DTV application at London embassy. I applied on 29th August and it arrived approved on the 5th September.

In the documents I provided my booked flight was leaving on 2nd September (my mistake), however this was never questioned. So the flight I actually got was on 9th September.

I had a hotel booked for a week, but that was also a refundable / cancellable booking that I never used. I'm now in a condo with a long term rental contract.

I provided a copy of my companies employment contract, recently updated to include some vague details relating to remote work.

I also moved some funds around a few days before applying so I could show the 11k GBP in the bank in an official bank statement (not a screenshot or transaction history).

Seems like the London embassy is still a good place to apply for this visa.

My spouse ( common law) are planning to come on the new DTV visa but I have some questions hopefully someone can help with.

1)How far in advance do I need to apply,

2) is there a certain amount of time the 500,000 needs to be in my account when showing our bank statements

3) I am self employed and have a business I can run from anywhere so how would I need to show proof of this and that I don’t work for someone else?

4)

And would I need to reapply for this visa every 180 days or how does that work?

Thank you for your help in advance ☺️
