Will Ho Chi Minh embassy accept 6 months bank statements without 500k baht throughout? or must it be 500k for the entire 6 months? What about Hanoi? I know I can email them but its the weekend they wont reply and its quite urgent.

Hi everyone!

This question is specifically for UK DTV visa holders, as it seems every embassy has its own set of rules.

This is my second attempt to get a DTV visa 😊 (my first try was in Penang this August). I’m currently in Thailand, and due to work, I’ll likely be flying to the UK in the next few days. I have a couple of questions:

1. Can I apply for the DTV visa online through the London embassy within the first or second day after my return to the UK?

1. For proof of residency, I have UK bank statements (personal account), a UK driving license (although it shows an old address), and *settled status* for living in the UK. Will this be an issue?

1. My main concern is proof of funds. My funds are in a WISE business account under my US-based company, where I’m the sole owner. This led to my rejection in Penang, as the account wasn’t in my personal name. How is this handled in the UK? As a freelancer, it’s common to use a business account, and with an LLC, the funds aren’t directly in my name. Despite providing proof of ownership, it wasn’t sufficient in Penang.

Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Is a one-day paid cooking class enough to get the DTV?

Wanted to apply for DTV until I realize I had 500,000b in a thai bank account for only 2 months. Can I know which embassy near thailand will accept 2 months?

I am currently in Thailand on a marriage visa nearing expiration. Can I apply for a DTV visa within Thailand (US passport), or must it be done through the Thai embassy in Washington DC?

I am aware I can purchase a 60 day extension for the marriage visa.

Good morning, I am currently on a 30 day visa exempt as I arrived in Thailand before the new rules started. Unfortunately due to circumstances my new school couldn’t Transfer my visa. Therefore I will be applying for a new non b. However I am married to a Thai citizen and mother to a Thai girl. I am just trying to figure out my best options:

1) Apply for a new non b at Vientiane?

2) Am I able to apply for Non O based on marriage or being a mother to a half Thai child in Thailand? Or will I need to apply at an embassy consulate outside Thailand as this will be my first time applying for this visa as I have been previously on a Non B?

3) Will I be able to get a work permit if I am on a Non O visa?

Hello, I received a non-immigrant multiple entry B visa from Thai immigration on 26 March 2024. Instead of expiring at the end of this year or early next year, the visa expires on October 9 because that was when my old passport was expiring.

My visa has now been moved to my new passport but I now hear that it won’t be extended until the end of the year and a application has to be made for a new non-b visa. Is this true?

I ask because I have already booked tickets to Italy end of September until October 13 and and my current visa expires on October 9. I thought this would be a simple matter of extension but it doesn’t seem to be the case?

Looking for recommendations for a visa agent who deals with Non-O based on being married to a Thai.

I’m located in Bangkok.

Thanks.

Hi everyone my wife and I have just started year 3 of our OX visa. We have a friend from England living in Singapore that has asked me if I could write a letter of invitation for them to apply for a 6 month visa. Not sure what to do I want to help but not put my visa at risk by not being completely correct with the reason. Secondly is the visa number used as a residents number thanks in advance

Hallo all,

For retirement visa purposes, should the balance in a Thai bank account be Bht800k at all times, or only when the visa is renewed annually?

TIA
