I have a question regarding financial proof for the DTV visa
I provided the following documents:
• A bank statement from my business account showing transaction history for the last 3 months with total inflow of more than 500,000 THB
• A bank statement from my separate savings account showing a balance of more than 500,000 THB, issued on 22 December
After that, the consulate replied with this request:
Other requested documents: bank documents showing FINAL BALANCE equal to at least 500,000 THB for PAST THREE MONTHS, in addition to the bank document from 22 December provided. Bank document must show final balances, no need to show the transaction history.
Now I’m a bit confused about what exactly they expect.
If someone has already solved this exact situation — I’d really appreciate your experience 🙏
My experience. I have been in Thailand more than 120 days this year with 2 extension. Came back yesterday from Vietnam where I went to apply for a tourist visa. Immigration didnt ask anything, I asked them if a tourist visa was ok to come back again, the IO said to me to apply for a multy entry that is easier. Long queue at immigration tho.
Not so much a DTV question but do you carry your passport with you? I never leave our home without it but fiance thinks its not necessary. I’ve been asked for my passport several times on days I didn’t think id need it and continue to carry it daily
Hi, my DTV application has been pending for about two weeks and I need to fly next Monday.
I just wanted to check if entering Thailand before the DTV is approved would affect my application. If I travel in first, would I still be able to return to Singapore and re-enter Thailand again once the DTV is approved?
Applying from Singapore embassy.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
27 9am : Just got result today. Rejected. Can go 🇹🇭 without regrets 😁.
I flew out of the country a week ago via BKK Airport. My DTV stamp is valid until March 2026. However, they did not stamp my passport with a departure seal.
I contacted the consulate here, but they didn’t have any useful information. I emailed Immigration (saraban_imm@police.go.th) on the 24th, but of course I haven’t received a reply yet due to Christmas.
Just curious, has anyone else experienced leaving the country without receiving a departure stamp at the airport?
