Hi all! I have a question for you, I applied for the DTV visa which one of the requirements was to have 500k baht liquidity, so I attached the document the bank statement in which I certified that I have € 13,577 where on the day I applied 500k baht were worth € 13,545, my concern is that between yesterday and today 500k baht are now worth € 13,600 so it exceeds the threshold of my bank statement, my question is: could this thing cause my visa to be rejected? Thanks a lot!

What to do if I want to live with my Thai wife in Thailand permanently, and don´t have the money required concerning visa rules?

I’m planning to move to Thailand permanently soon.

I would like to know more about the Retirement Visa?

Just got my DTV from Hanoi offices. The ladies were super cool, helped us pull everything together.

I gave 7 months of bank statements and invoices, plus the below.

I definitely suggest drafting a letter that explains all the documents provided, and I got both of the companies I freelance for to put together a short contract and had letters from both companies stating my role and how long I had been with each company

No appointment necessary at this point, we just walked in

Does anyone succeed DTV with new bank account (open a month before)?

Once you’ve got your DTV, do you have to continue to keep 500000 baht in the bank/income? Or are finances checked for visa application only?

Hello! I have two questions regarding the DTV visa. I have an American passport and I am currently on a METV that would end on November 15. But my next visa hop needs to be by October 13th. I want to go and apply for the DTV in a neighboring country when I do my october hop. Do I need to cancel my current METV in order to apply for the DTV? And if so how?

Also, Im on the METV because I was taking a career break for the past 6 months, I do have my own LLC and some money is coming in automatically from that but not alot(maybe around 600-1000 USD per month). I do have over 500k baht in my American bank accounts, but it is 3 accounts combined, is that okay? And would I be rejected if my overall amount in my account has been going down because I've been on a bit of a work break?

Thank you in advance for anyone that can answer my questions :)

DTV approved in Hanoi. Made an appointment online, attended Monday and picked up the visa today. They said 3 workings days but mine was done in 2.

I provided 6 months bank statements with the 500k Thai baht minimum, I only had it in one account for a 5 month period but gave them bank statements for the missing month showing the source of these funds. They generally want the funds to be liquid and withdrawable.

I stated that I have 3 sources of income:

1. Engineering technician (provided portfolio and recent signed letter from a client stating I have agreement to carry out work for him) I am not currently working in this role but expressed to them my intention is to get myself setup when I find accommodation.

2. Trading reports (provided transactions in this tax UK year and withdrawals to my bank accounts and shown on bank statements to prove income in this period)

3. Investment property income (provided invoice for payments to myself from tenant and management fees)

I summarised everything in a cover letter which tied all my evidence together and I think would go along way in any application. I provided in total 107 pages of evidence so I imagine they would have struggled to make sense of everything without the cover letter.

Also gave last years tax return, proof of location in Vietnam (hotel reservation is fine). They didn’t require travel or accommodation for Thailand to be booked.

Found the process to be easy, staff were friendly and she even helped me print out some documents I managed to forget!

Fee was 340 usd only (I asked for fresh notes at the exchange). They made sense of everything at the desk before accepting the application and taking my money.

DTV was given to me as a sticker inside my passport

Any questions hit me up

I'm doing my Non-O Retirement visa extension this coming week at Chang Watthana and I'm going to attempt to change over to the income based, as opposed to the 800k banked (I still have the banked 800k, just in case).

How many days (or hours) ahead of my immigration appointment should I get the official one year bank statement and updated bank book? Or maybe it doesn't matter as long as it was generated within the last 30 days?

From past experience using the banked 800K, I received the statement and bank book updated from the bank the day of.

TIA

*HELP*

Not sure about this details guys 👇🏼

1- My business is registered in the UK, I have tax return pdf submitted to the HMRC for the last five years - 2019 till 2024.

My business was in person and I am registered as soul trader, 2 years ago I moved my business online, working with Instagram, I have proof of payments from Clients on Stripe all around the world, and obviously Instagram page.

It’s enough to provide that I work fully online, or should I get in touch with HMRC and change something?

2- The 500k bath can be on a bank statement UK in ££??? Right now, the equivalent is £11.200 I will make sure to have at least £12000

Thanks in advance for who will answer 🙏🏼
