I repeated my question for those chosing 65,000 THB a month method. Who pays the transfer fee? Could well be 1,000 THB for each transfer, the destination gets a tad less than 65,000 THB but enough to ruin the round sum of 65,000 THB.

I am sending 22,000 THB yearly for the building maintenance of our condo. For that amount I have to add 500 THB atop. For 65,000 THB may well be more.

65,000 THB monthly transfer does not pop up just like that. There are fees.

Issue with Bank Statements Timing

Hello everyone, I have a question about the DTV application.

I would like to apply at the Thai Embassy in Rome, but I have an issue with my bank statements.

My bank (Fineco bank) allows me to download a 6-month statement, but it only releases the official document at the end of each quarter.

For example:

If I apply in May, I can only download the statement for Jan–Feb–Mar, while Apr–May–Jun will only be available in July.

This means that during certain months of the year, I cannot provide a fully updated statement.

Has anyone had the same problem?

Could this cause issues with the DTV application?

Thank you in advance 🙏

Anyone anyhow succeed to open bank account with DTV ??

Morning everyone, I arrived on 2nd June 2025 on a non-o visa, I got my extension in September 2025, I have the lump sum on deposit in a Thai bank since 4th June2025, question is when can I touch the lump sum, am I right in thinking it’s 5 months after I arrived, do they take a different date. Thanks in advance guys.

TrueMoney with DTV??? How are DTV people upgrading to the advanced plan? It looks like they only allow supporting documents by non-immigrant and student visas holders for the advanced plan. The basic plan does not allow “scan to pay”, so it’s essentially useless.

Talking about Thai bank accounts I have a question is it better for me to send money to account and then withdraw it for spending money or should I just keep using my debit card on my American bank account. I wasn’t sure what the transfer fees would be sending it to my Thai bank account. Right now I just have the ฿430,000 for my marriage visa.

The good news is my  ฿430,000 has been in the Thai Bank, K Bank for 2 months. I just had my visa agent fill out all the paperwork so I can get my one month visa. With in the next 2 weeks the police will come to my house to make sure I really live with my wife as a husband. Once that is completed I can get the one year extension. Thanks for all of the information in this group!!!

Just opened a bank acc with KBank . I need to deposit the required amount from my revolut account to start the marriage visa ! Do I send money to my Thai bank account in Thai baht or Pounds sterling ?

Just a quick one. The people who had their bank accounts frozen, did you all use an agent to open it or have any of you opened an account without the agent & still been frozen

So my Bangkok bank account was finally closed as well.

What have you all been doing about it once it is closed? What other apps have been used for scanning or paying bills? Or what have you all been doing to keep access to baht other than keeping piles of cash on you?

I own a condo and have bills and expenses and a life here to maintain so if anyone has found a good work around this banking debacle I would love to hear it

Slightly off topic but a segment off requirements for a long term extension. I am UK based passport bank account etc. For transferring the required sums I have hit a brick wall with my bank. They do not send money to Thailand. I am looking for recommendations for a 3rd party way, any recommendations from people in the same situation would be very much appreciated
