Certificate of residence with a dtv visa

Bangkok office

Before you go make sure you have the following:

Passport

Copy of passport x2

Copy of entry stamp x2

90 day not required if you’ve not had to do one

E visa printout x2

Copy of lease/ rent agreement

Printout of TM30

฿200 per certificate

All in all a fairly painless process. I originally went down and asked at the information desk as I was needing 4 certificates. (2 for licenses, 1 for transferring a vehicle, and one because the bank asked for it (not a basic savings account)).

Once you’ve got all the relevant documents together and got down to immigration at the government complex it’s a fairly swift process. They’ll check all your documents and give you a receipt and your passport back. It only took about an hour most of that was waiting till my number was called. They’ll said it would be posted to that address and it arrived in 4 days.

DTV Muay Thai

Has anyone who lives in Thailand applied for the DTV using a condominium or house in Thailand? I'm concerned about filling in my home country since my bank statement is from a bank in Thailand.

I am currently on the Thai vise website, I am applying in Hanoï.

They ask for your home address, should I put my address in Vietnam or in France (I'm french).

I can select that my permanent address is not the same as my current but I don't know in which order I should put them as both address are called home address.

Thank you

I hold a UK passport and currently staying with malaysian friends in Penang as a 90 days tourist.

I have deposit funds and landlord ready for a one year contract ready. I'm +60yo.

Im intending to apply online for the Non O visa before I travel to Thailand in mid July.

My questions are:

How do I provide proof of current address when I apply for the Non O.

Can I use my MDAC? Should the family im living with write something?

How soon before I travel should I fill in the application for the Non O?

Thank You for any help you're able to suggest.

Both myself and my wife got the DTV in the last 2 months. Both of us used our Brokerage statements rather than a checking or savings accounts. I hear alot of misinformation here so I figured this may help somebody.

Both of us went through the DC Thai consulate and submitted Schwab Brokerage statements. She had around 50K USD in the S&P500 (VOO/SPLG) and I have around 150k in the same.

No idea if crypto or random sketchy stocks would work like GME.
