Hi everyone,

I’m applying for the DTV at the Thai embassy in Jakarta and wanted to check something. I’ve had over 500,000 baht in my savings account for a bit more than 2 months (but not quite 3 months yet). The funds were transferred from a term deposit account into my savings account more than 2 months ago. Do you think that will be sufficient for the embassy to approve the visa?

Also, would adding a Thai bank account (alongside my non-Thai one) help increase the chances of approval? Or would that just complicate things?

The official website says a 3-month bank statement is required—do you think it’s safer to submit a 6-month statement instead?

If you have any relevant experience or helpful info, I’d really appreciate your input. Thanks in advance!

I am getting married to my Thai partner in early July and wish to retire in Thailand. I have started to an application for a non o visa and I got extremely bogged down around the fourth page asking for things like proof of medical insurance and funds in a Thai bank account as well as a medical certificate and police clearance. Am I approaching this the right way. I am from Australia. I'm sure that this kind of question has been asked repeatedly however, any constructive information would be greatly appreciated. I intend to register our marriage and apply for a spousal visa.

A copy of a recent saving or checking bank statement for the last three months with an ending balance of no less than 500,000 THB or ($16,000 USD)

Is this just to see if youve had a bank account for 3 months, OR, Do u need to have $16K in the account for 3 months.

Can somebody please verify? This could put off my trip for a while. Im in the USA btw....😕

thx zimmyjim

Hi :)

I plan to apply from France (soft power "thai cooking school"), and I'm surprised to see that the following is required :

"Proof of salary slip/monthly income for the last 6 months"

I found this information on the following website :

This doesn't appear on the official website ([members only])

Did anyone experience this request when applying from France or another country ?

Thank you for your help 🙏

When applying for DTV in London, how long do you have to have 500k in the bank?

Hi 👋🏼

The embassy in Hanoi told me that 500,000 baht for a month was enough for a family of 4 but just wanted to check if anyone had done it and if they accepted it with no issues? Thanks!

My family will be moving there and applying for a remote worker visa from my wifes job. Do we need 800k baht total in the bank? Or is that per person? I will not be working and just be on the spouse visa as i will just be collecting passive income from renting out my property.

Hi everyone!

I’m a software engineer working as a freelance and I am planning to apply for the DTV workcation visa.

I have 6 months of statements for my freelance account and proof of savings accounts overs 160k CAD (110k USD).

Is that sufficient for the visa application (to prove freelance activity AND financial situation) or is there anything else to improve my luck in the selection process ?
