Have anyone applied for the DTV visa in Vietnam or Taiwan? If so do they require the 500,000 baht to be in the account for a total of 3 months or just have it in the account when you apply ? Apparently United States want $16k each month and I arrive to Thailand in 3 weeks .

I plan to apply in Hanoi and will be travelling to Hanoi via Ho Chi Minh City next month. I will be taking a domestic flight from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi, but the entry stamp on my passport will be in Ho Chi Minh City. Can I still apply in Hanoi?

The retirement visa requirements are confusing me. You have to open a Thai bank account and maintain a minimum balance  to apply for the retirement visa, but in order to open the account, you have to show that you already have a long-term visa…. which you can’t get until you get the bank account ? Can someone please straighten me out?

My husband and I have retired in Thailand, where he was born and has acquired citizenship. We entered the country on a retirement visa, but are experiencing difficulties in obtaining the necessary paperwork to legally reside in Thailand as his spouse. We possess a valid marriage license and certificate issued in the USA. Should we consider remarrying in Thailand to simplify the process, given our 28 years of marriage?

I am applying for the DTV visa. I have the required funds and evidence of such, however I spread my funds across multiple accounts. It's a safe practice in case a card does not work, is blocked, lost, stolen, or if the bank shuts down (First Republic bank in the US).

My question to the group, has anyone applied and been approved providing bank statements from multiple accounts?

Additionally, when applying in the US do they consider retirement accounts as funds (not required me for) but I was curious since I have so much in my retirement accounts.

Thanks everyone!
