Hi I am applying for my DTV in Manila, Philippines as a business owner. They are now requesting further documents from me, which is to show that I had 500k baht in my bank statements for the last 3 months.

However, I've only kept the 500k baht in my account for the last month or so, and I've used my money to invest in crypto, so I have no bank statements to show that I have 500k baht sitting in my account for the last 3 months.

Do you think I can submit a letter explaining in detail all this and they will accept it or is it a loss cause? Has anyone had a similar experience? Would really appreciate your help, thank you.

How far in advance are people applying for their DTV? Thanks peeps! 😀

Hello I am a little confused with rules .so I have non-b work visa and work permit but now if I want to change my job ( employer) do I have to leave country and doo whole process again and get non-b and work permit again or I can ask my employer to cancal my work permit and ask new employer to make the new one while staying in Thailand itself ??

Help, how does an American prove his Social Security and VA benefits to get a retirement visa I have the bank statements, but is that enough?

Hello dear community members. I am Polish/Belgian (BE passport) and 26yo, I am planning to apply for DTV - soft power (long term muay thai course). I train genuinely so it really suits me. I got 500k+ which I intentionally deposited 4 months ago for the application. I would ask for advice from experienced community members. When seeing all the rejections in Vietnam (where I was planning to apply) I get very much worried. The owner of the gym I train at said she will help me with the application and needed course paperwork. If vietnam has gone bad where should I apply from. Any tips/insights from veterans or people that applied with similar conditions to mine are SO welcome and will be much appreciated. Thank you!

If my wife and I are both going to take Thai cooking classes should we both apply individually for DTV, or one apply for DTV under soft power, and other apply as spouse of DTV member? Is there a pro/con to either route?

I'm about to go to immigration in Korat regarding the 12 month extension. The 800,000 baht has been in account for the required 2 months. Question does the bank statement have to be done on same day as going to immigration or can it be dated the day before. I'm in Pak Chong. Hour and 15 minute drive to Korat.

Something that should have been so simple of turning into a nightmare, spent all afternoon at Jomtien Immigration trying to get residency certificate

Got there and paperwork wrong as I had left Thailand for a few days during Songkran so TM30 date didn't match

Contacted the managing agent of condo who did a new one and went back, they said this isn't ok as it's just an online one, condo agent says it is correct, anyone know?

Example below of what condo agent sent (just a web sample)

I have a question about the annual extension of stay for my Non-O marriage visa at Chiang Mai Immigration. For the past two years, I've submitted my application around November 11th (TM.7 form, financials, marriage docs, etc.), received the "under consideration" stamp valid for about 30 days, and then returned in January (9ish) for the final one-year approval stamp. Each time, they asked about upcoming travel plans, and I said no vacation planned.

This year, I need to travel to Canada from December 23rd to January 23rd to visit family. Is it possible to leave during the "under consideration" period if I obtain a re-entry permit beforehand? What happens when they want me to report in person if I am away on that date, do I go in as soon as I am back in Chiang Mai?

Has anyone successfully done this recently at Chiang Mai Immigration Office? Any advice or experiences appreciated—thanks so much!
