Further Document Requests..

I have been asked to provide more documents for my DTV and I’m unsure what to do about this one:

• “Please contact Revolut to issue your recently personal bank statements with an official stamp on them or a formal letter stating your name and details and the balance equivalent to Pound Sterling, US Dollar , EURO ( minimum closing balance of 11,000 GB”

I had already provided a pdf of my bank statements showing at least £11,000 already. So what are they asking for now?

Thanks!

Hello everyone and thank you for your input.

I’m getting the LTR visa for wealthy pensioners, I have everything i need. My only question is to those who have used this visa. When you got your BOI letter and then went to the consulate and had your visa stamped where you told how many days you have to enter Thailand? I can’t seem to find any info for this question and AI couldn’t find any specific reference to it. Looking forward to your reply.

I submitted an evisa non immigrant O that I thought was good for 6 months but it was approved for only 60 days. Can this be extended? It cost 80 usd. I'm not sure if there was any advantage over the 60 day visa free that can be extended 30 days for a 90 day stay. Did I waste 80 dollars?

Are there any advantages of applying for O-A Visa prior to arriving in Thailand? I've read the requirements for applying in the USA.

My understanding of differences would be with Thai Bank deposit and health insurance.

When applying in USA the requirements state a minimum bank account balance of 800,000 thb "OR" a minimum of 65,000 thb per month income along with a health insurance requirement. If applying in USA with the bank balance requirement there is no mention of the funds needing to be in a Thai bank.

When applying in Thailand the requirement states the 800,000 thb needs to be in a Thai bank account and I am not seeing any mention of a monthly income option. There is also no mention of a health insurance requirement when applying in Thailand.

Here are my questions:

Is the 65,000 thb monthly income option to qualify also available when applying in Thailand without needing an 800,000 thb bank balance?

If applying in USA with the monthly income option, what is needed to renew/extend after living 1 year in Thailand? Will I eventually need to deposit 800,000 thb into a Thai bank to renew/extend visa for another year or just continue to provide proof of monthly income?

I want the health insurance no matter where I apply so I'm also looking for good health insurance recommendations.

Thanks a trillion!

I have moved from Bangkok to Salaya in Nakon Pathom and I need to do my visa at the end of April. My school where I work is in Bangkok. My question is do I need to go to Changwattanna or Nakhon Pathom immigration?

Hi All, If I apply for an NI "O" visa is it multi entry? Or am I better off with a NI "OA" visa for retirement purposes. TIA

My husband, son, and I have a US passport...I am currently on a non-o volunteer visa ( extension of stay) expiring in January with work permit. My husband and son have non o dependant visa. I am switching organizations, and will be teaching at a school. My previous organization will be canceling my work permit once the school has finished my visa paperwork. Then, I will immediately fly to Vientiane, laos to obtain a non b visa. Will my husband and son need to apply for another non-o visa in vientiane with me? If so, what paperwork is required for their visa?
