Hi all,

Would I be able to get a DTV by showing over 20k in stocks and shares? If not, if I sold the shares and put it into my bank account, how long does the money have to be there for?

Went to my local Immigration Office in Saraburi today to ask about all handouts for my 1 year extension of stay of my Non-Immigrant O Visa based on being over 50 years old (retirement).

This is what the officer gave me but also told me to open a bank account despite that I said (and girlfriend) I will use an income letter from my Embassy to guarantee my income, my Swedish Embassy still offer this service.

Trying to figure out why she wanted me to present an bank account, is this common at other offices when using Embassy letter?

I will of course do as I'm told, bring my girlfriend to her bank and ask about all the paperwork, as I understand it should not be a problem to open an account since I'm on a long term visa/extension.

Wish me luck, thanks!

Regarding two bank accounts:

My bank separated my current and fixed deposit accounts into two accounts, making it appear as though my funds were held in two different banks.

When applying for DTV, I wrote a letter explaining that they were held in the same bank, but the consulate simply ignored it.

They didn't look at the total amount; they needed to be in the same account to meet their requirements. So, I transferred the money from my fixed deposit to my current account, and that was approved.

If you also have two accounts, I recommend combining your funds.

💰💰 Hey everyone! Based on your experience, does a time deposit account count as a liquid asset for visa applications? 🤔💳

Is it 500,000 cumulatively across all statements, effectively showing a final (current) balance of 500,000 OR is it 500,000 shown in each statement?

Thanks!

Does the dependent person also need a deposit in the bank of 500000,- Baht ?

Does the 500k need to be all in one account? Like if I have 10k USD and 9k in CAD for example? This would be two accounts? Should be fine right?

Good Evening

I’m would like to know for the 65K transfer a month, can the money be transferred from another account in Thailand?

Could someone please tell me where im going wrong.

My annual income sent from Aus to Bkk bank came to a total of 606,000 thb, plus I have a total of 400,000 in a fixed deposit, it has been there for 3 mnths, I have been told to re'apply in 45 days. Evidently I have insuficiant funds.

Please what do I do??. I thought I had enough.

The following is taken from the UK Thai Embassy website in relation to applying for a Non Imm O-A Retirement Visa

“Bank statement or evidence of adequate finance for the past 3 months showing a deposit of the amount equal to and not less than 800,000 Baht (approximately £20,000.00) If you send a copy of bank statement, the original reference letter from the banking concerned is necessary”

This is now my main option for me to return to Thailand in the summer as it’s the Visa most people recommend.

My question is were do these funds need to be, I have some in a Thai bank and some in a UK Bank, if both sets of statements add up to over THB800,000 will that be ok or if not which country do they need to be in.

Thank you 🙏🙏
