Hi everyone, I looked in the group already but couldn't really find an answer. We're going to apply for a DTV in Jakarta with my family. I know that they are fine with us having 500,000 baht for the whole family and that they want 2 months worth of bank statements. I'm just wondering if the 500,000 baht needs to be in the account for the 2 months or if it's ok if it's there for 3 or 4 weeks 🤔. Just asking because they want the money on a bank account in my name and I only have a wise account, not sure I want that much money on a wise account for so long 😅

Thanks everyone for your help!

Those of you who applied under workcation for remote worker and had to include paystubs from your employer, on which part of the visa application did you upload those? Do they go in #4 with the bank statements? Or in #5 with the employment contract and employment verification letter?

Hello, I am a French passport holder and will be returning to Thailand with a Visa O over 50 retirement visa at the end of May. I understand that the French embassy provides an income verification letter. However, when I present this income verification document to Bangkok immigration when requesting the one year extension, can the immigration officer choose not to accept it? (I understand that everything about our lives in Thailand is at the discretion of Thai immigration and I also am aware that I can transfer 800,000 baht into a Thai bank account and present this as financial proof instead.) I am asking for clarification from anyone who has used the income verification method and if it is feasible or risky option. Thank you.

When showing the required 500,000 THB as part of the financial proof, does the bank statement need to be dated on the exact day of submitting the application, or is it acceptable if the statement is from a few days earlier?

Just want to make sure I get the timing right—any advice would be appreciated!

Hi! I'm applying for the DTV in the US as a business owner/remote worker. In regards, to bank statements can someone explain to me exactly what the IO's are looking for? Do they want to see final bank statements or the transactions from the bank accounts?

DTV question: If I have proof of 500k baht when I apply is that something I need to show proof of upon each entry after 180 days or is that something that I only have to show once?

If I apply for a DTV and my wife 'follows' do we need to show 1mil baht or is 500k on a joint account ok? Also, do you apply for both at the same time? Anyone here have experience applying with a follower on DTV?

Thanks

I need a letter from my bank to certify that there is 400k or more in it. Can that letter asked before the 2 months are up as the amount only will go up or does one ask for that letter on date the 2 months are up?

Hi! I’m currently trying to obtain a DTV visa but was rejected without any explanation. Here’s some background on my situation:

I applied for the DTV Soft Power Visa in Ho Chi Minh City and submitted the following documents:

- Entry stamp to Vietnam.

- Bank statement showing a balance of over $60,000.

- A treatment plan from one of Bangkok’s top dental clinics for braces, which is a two-year process.

- I indicated that I am currently unemployed and have no income.

Additional context: I held a 1-year ED visa in 2023/2024, made one border run in 2022, and entered Thailand multiple times via airports. During my last visit to Thailand in December 2024, an immigration officer handed me a form to fill out and informed me that next time I won’t be able to enter visa-free because I had spent too much time in Thailand. He advised me to apply for a DTV visa for future entries.

After submitting my application, I was asked to provide the following additional documents:

- "Provide the entry stamp to VN": I’m unsure why this was requested again, as I had already provided the same stamp.

- "A deposit account shows the transactions last 6 months and the account balance or a combination of a deposit/saving account totaling not less than 500,000baht. Stock/Crypto/Bitcoin/Investment/Business/PayPal account and sponsor are not accepted": I provided a transactions list (during the last 6 months, I consistently maintained at least $50,000) concatenated with my bank statement from the previous stage in one PDF document.

- "Please prove your monthly income. In case you are unemployed, please explain how you will sustain your life in Thailand": I attached a PDF explaining that I have over $60,000 in savings and experience in poker and IT, but I currently don’t plan to work because I have enough money.

Despite meeting the official requirements, my application was rejected. I suspect it might be due to my unemployment status (even though it’s not a requirement for the Soft Power Visa) or my extensive travel history (despite the officer recommending the DTV visa).

Given that I’ve provided all the required documents, should I try applying at another consulate, or is there a high chance of being rejected again?

Can anyone tell me how if there is a minimum term for the 500k to be in your account for uk application
