Be cautious about providing proof of financial requirements well above minimum? Has anyone provided proof that you meet the DTV's financial requirements when you have far more in your financial institution than what is required? I have quite a bit more than the 500K THB that is the minimum requirement and feel wary about showing my actual net worth to a foreign government I haven't dealt with before. I could split some of it off into a second smaller account, but I wouldn't have a statement for that new account until the end of November and since I'll be leaving my country mid-December, I won't be here when they mail the visa to me, if I'm approved. Thoughts? Thanks.

Can you get a DTV for Muay Thai and then if you find a remote job (in a country that isn't) stop doing Muay Thai and keep the DTV?

I'm currently in Thailand on an education visa. My second 3 month extension will expire on the 29th of November. At this time I will have completed 9 months on the education visa. I don't want to do the final 3 month extension. On the 29th of November, I want to leave the country, and go to Lao, and apply for a DTV. My question: Do I need to do a cancel on the Education visa, or can I just wait until the 2nd extension expires, and go apply for the DTV.

Hello, I am looking to move to Thailand next year. I work offshore 6 months of the year (3 months off, 3 months on). With the occasional 6 week trip in between. What would be the most recommended way to go about visas?

Or just stick with the tourist visa?

Any help is appreciated

I am an American with a Thia girlfriend. I am interested in getting her a tourest visa. I contacted an agency he told me it was hard to get and a fiancé / marriage visa would be easier..

He wants $600 to help fill out paperwork and tell her what to say durring the interview.

This feels a lot like a scam I would aprecate any advice on the best path to take with this.

Hello everyone!

I just got my DTV approved at the Thai Embassy in Vientiane. I applied on Monday and just received it today (Wednesday).

It was very, very easy and I highly recommend applying for it there!

All you need is the following:

- Visa Application Form (with 2 x pictures)

- Passport copy of biodata page

- Document showing your current location (driver's license)

- Visa fee of 10,000 THB

- 6-month official bank statement showing a minimum of 500,000 THB

Proof of Purpose of Visit:

- For remote workers: Certificate of Employment, Employment Contract, personal tax return, and payslips (if applicable)

- Professional portfolio showing your business, including your resume/company profile and screenshots/photos of your business

Cover Letter including:

- Cover page and table of contents

- Self-introduction: name, age, passport number

- Statement of purpose

- Details about your company and the nature of the business

- Explanation of your workflow: how your freelance career operates and how you work remotely

- Assurance that you will not take away jobs from locals or take on local clients

But most importantly you need to have an appointment before going there which can be done online (I had booked mine a month in advance).

You can already go early in the morning and drop you application, regardless of your queue number.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Best of luck to all of you!

Hi Guys ! Looking for some experts advise here !

I’m thinking to apply for a Tutistic multi entry visa that should work for 6 month according to the Thai Embasy info in Italy . It should cost 150 euro which I guess is a fair price .

Now my situation is this :

I came back in Italy from Thailand last June The 4th after I using all the tuoristic exemption visa extensions possibles ( old rules) .

I fly around south east Asia’s counties since October 2023 using pattaya as a base.

As I went a bunch of times In and out Thailand are there any issues in your opinion if I apply on line for this Multi entry 6 month TR ?

Thank you so much in advance to anyone will help!🙏🏻
