Got my visa come through today. Went direct, no agent through London embassy on line.
Asked for intro letter and stamped bank statement, screenshot was no good and confirmed I wouldn't be working. Then asked for flight e ticket and boom 1 week or so in all.
I wanted to know one thing If I have funds equal to 5,00,000 THB but I took from my father as a gift and that transactions are really recent like last week so when exactly should I apply for DTV,
Also should I apply my own or hire any agency to apply my visa ?
I am a freelancer in india, I do IT services role for my all clients
I'm german, over 50, not retired but full-time working in a company. I can take this year a so called "Sabatical" for some months and want go for 3 months to Thailand with a 90 day retirement O visa. Some background infos:
1. I'm over 50
2. Registration certificate and criminal record certificate are no problem and easy to get.
3. In the 3 last months I haven't at any time 800k THB in my bankaccount (there are better ways to invest my money than putting it in a bank account). I also not plan to fill up my bank account and wait 3 more months to meet this requirement
4. Because I'm working I not get retirement money from the government. My regular income in my company is over 135k THB / month (more than the required 65k THB retirement income).
Question: I have heard that instead of the pension statement/proof of income from the government, you can also use the salary statements of the last three months as proof of regular income from the employer. If yes, and someone do it like this can you someone give me more details? Are there some additional paper needed?
I would prefer answers from german guys who tried it in that way (munich/frankfurt?). Because every Thai-Embassy handles it a little bit different. But of course I would appreciate also answers from guys from other european countries who tried it this way.
Is 3million THB condo rule applicable for individuals that bought a condo before this rule was paased? For exmaple, if someone bought a 5m or 6m condo in 2020 or 2021 but never applied for investment visa by adding additional 5/4m to meet 10m. Would that original purchase will be considered for the new 3m clause or a new 3m purchase post law publishing date is required?
