Question: Just applied for our DTV we plan on bringing there for a few years but we put the time as 3 months the date on the application. My question is was this wrong and will we have to reapply again later because of it in that 3 months? Any info helps!

I am coming to Thailand with a non-O visa, valid for 90 days, applied from Belgium. I must complete the TDAC form no later than three days before arriving in Thailand. Upon arrival in Thailand, I must report to immigration within 24 hours with a TM30 document. With my passport and proof of residence, I can open a bank account with the aim of applying for a one-year extension. My question: If, during my 90-day stay in Thailand, I travel to Cambodia with my girlfriend for a week and then return to Thailand, do I need to complete a new TDAC form before arriving in Cambodia and also before returning to Thailand? Do I need to have a new TM30 document completed upon returning to Thailand? Will my non-O visa remain valid? Do I need to report to immigration again? Thank you in advance for the information.

Hi all. New to this and learning a lot. My question is regarding the soft power DTV.  I believe if granted it covers you for five years, but you need to check in every six months to extend. Does that mean that you need to be enrolled in one of the soft power activities every time you check in?



✨✨ My DTV Soft Power Thai Cooking (Arun Thai Cooking Class) visa has been approved in Laos. Everything went super smoothly, and all the required documents were arranged within just one day.

My DTV visa journey (Thai Embassy in Laos):

Applied online → paid the fee at the Thai Embassy in Laos in Thai baht (cash only) → waited for my interview appointment → had the interview and received the result on the same day.

Total time: 11 days from application to approval.

My son is coming over next week on a single O Visa from the USA to get a bank account setup and other things in preparation for a move.

After <30 days he will return to the US to get ready to move.

Is the O Visa canceled after he returns to the US?

Does he have to reapply for Another O Visa to return?

Does anyone know, if a husband and wife are applying for a DTV through a Muay Thai gym, is it enough for one person to apply to the program and then their spouse can apply by being the spouse of the person training at the Muay Thai gym? Or would they both need to buy a membership from the gym to qualify?

Hi All, I'm currently in my home country and applied online for a Non-immigrant Type O.

Today I've got a request for more documents: *Please upload the bank transaction money in CURRENT ACCOUNT for LAST THREE MONTHS showing your name and the balance, the amount income monthly not less than 65,000 THB or total balance 800,000 *THB*.*

1) Can I provide the entire balance of my portfolio and not the transactions? Because that amount of money is in the investment portfolio in the bank.

*2) (e.g., bank statements for the last three months, sponsor letter) -*"Sponsor letter" - does that refer to the same bank guarantee letter they use to ask?

Hi all,

I’m submitting additional documents for my Thai Non-Immigrant O visa. They requested: “Bank Statement 800,000 THB for the last three months.”

I already uploaded my statement two weeks ago. I have two bank accounts, and I’m planning to submit summary pages for each account showing the balances for the last three months.

My question: is it enough to submit only the summary pages, or do I need to provide the full transaction history for both accounts?

⚠️ Please only reply if you’ve actually done this recently—looking for advice from real experience, not general tips.

Thanks a lot! 🙏

I have my electronic OA visa. Will have copy printed out when I travel to BKK. Will immigration attach copy to passport?

Okay, to apply for a 90-day non O retirement visa while I’m in the USA I need at least two (maybe 3) bank statements showing I have at least 800,000 baht. My question is would an account with one of those “online only” banks be acceptable? Ally is one example. Thanks everybody.
