Hello,

Is it possible to show more than one bank account to prove that the total amount exceeds 500,000 baht, or should I put all the money into a single account? I would love to hear advice from someone who has experience with this.

Thank you!

What documents do we need to corroborate our income? We are partners in an LLC in the USA. We don’t need to be present or active in the LLC, and it currently deposits $8,000 usd per month into our personal account. I won’t be eligible for Social Security for another year and a half, so we can’t use that to qualify. We also exceed the required account balance. I just don’t know the best way to present things

I have a question: I heard that after received a year visa the amount of 800.000 must be kept 3 months. Is that a law ? I didn't see on Google. Now if I have embassy document with my retirement amount, I can use only the difference on a bank account. (Retirement 600000 + bank deposit 200000) So what about the amount that should be kept 3 months ?

I have applied to the Washington DC Thai Embassy for a non immigrant O visa. I am over 50 and provided the require documents - passport photo, 2x2 photo, driver's license, letter's from my teaching pension - my social security pension - and my military pension - all stating my lifetime monthly award amount, and 3 months bank statements showing the deposit of my three monthly pension checks. My question: How long will it be before I will receive my visa?

I currently have two personal bank accounts where I usually keep around USD 5,000 in each. I also have a third personal investment account with approximately USD 200,000 in stocks.

In addition, I hold shares in two LLCs: 33% in one company and 50% in another. The bank accounts of both companies have maintained an average balance of around USD 100,000 over the past 12 months.

What I am not fully clear about is whether the requirement is strictly 500,000 THB in a single personal bank account, or if it is acceptable to demonstrate overall financial capacity by showing multiple personal accounts, investment holdings, and company accounts.

In other words, would it be necessary to transfer and keep 500,000 THB in one personal account for a certain period before applying, or could presenting diversified financial evidence (personal accounts, stocks, and company ownership) be sufficient?

Thank you in advance for your clarification.

I have read a comment here stating that embassy/consulates in the United States don't provide income certification. If that is in fact true, how does one certify they meet the income requirement? I receive both a pension from the state of California as well as social security. My income from these two sources combined is well above the income requirement for a non-o, non oa retirement Visa

Hi, I am intending to apply for the DTV (workcation - foreign talent) in order to write a book about music in Thailand. I have a real portfolio. Most of my spare money sits in my Australian retirement account, which, thanks to my age, I can now access like a slow bank. Do I need to move the THB500,000 into a regular bank account?

Hello, does anyone have experience with using a Thai account to prove the 500,000 baht three months retroactively, and should I try or have to use my foreign account to provide the proof?

Has anyone with debt in thier home country been able to get the DTV? Would they deny your application because of that?
