Currently in Thailand living in Bangkok on the DTV (soft power).
Just looking to clarify do I have to do my 90 day report at an immigration office?
And I have to exit the country before the 6 months? Any advice of where to go to? I’m just looking to fly out and straight back as I have my dogs in Bangkok.
Please no hate and thanks for any advice in the easiest option to sort this.
What should one do if they receive an email from the Thai Consulate asking again for “need accommodation proof in thailand” even though these were already included in the application?
In my case, the original submission already had:
– a confirmed one-way flight ticket to Bangkok
– hotel booking confirmation from booking.com (completely refundable) for the first two weeks in Bangkok
Just want to know if this is a standard follow-up, then what to share with them, or if I should resend the same documents separately.
has anyone been able to obtain a retirement visa using 400,000 baht saving and an annual income of 650,000? my embassy will not confirm my income, my bank account will prove i have had the income for several years

thanks i advance for serious replies, nothing nice to say don't bother. i want to do it legally
My 2nd 90-day report is due on 13 November, but I will leave the country on 17 November. Since it’s still within the 7-day grace period after the 13th, should I still do my 2nd 90-day report, or can I just leave the country on the 17th? Will there be any problems?
I did my first report prior 4 days before the due date,
My visa will be expired nov 18th, but my 90 days report due nov 13th. So there is no overstay
Hi everyone, has anyone applied for a DTV from California with a spouse and 2 children? I cannot find solid information regarding how much we need to have in our bank account for the 4 of us. My 2 kids are under 10 years old.
I see a few articles and blogs saying we need to show proof we have 500,000 THB for the primary applicant - but I also see some articles stating we will need to show proof that we have 2,000,000 THB for the 4 of us. Eek.
