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 🙏

Crackdown on border runners and Visa Free entries on orders of the PM.

DTV is more valuable than ever. If here on Visa Exemots etc and going to apply for DTV might be better to do it sooner rather than later

Planning on moving to Thailand with the family from the Philippines. We will ship most of our kitchen appliances etc. I would like to ship my record album collection ~3500 albums, based on what I have been reading, I would be paying hefty taxes and duty fees??? Does anybody have any information on shipping bulk items such as this? (these are personal use, not for resale)

I've noticed that more and more people are getting rejected for soft powers in vietnam while my facebook page is getting flooded of sponsored pages that for 40-90k they offer a dtv all inclusive. All they claimed you need to do is to go to vietnam and take a pics of your entry stamp. I'm not talking about a single page, but dozens of sponsored pages offering the same. Are those scams?

Hello guys,

I'm from France and I want to move to Thailand next year.

I can ask for DTV Visa but I have a question dor my fellow frenchs or even belgians here.

With a DTV Visa in Thailand, can I change my tax residence and become taxed in Thailand only ?

It's very important. For those (French, belgian, german etc.) who live in Thailand with a DTV, please answer me guys.

Ps : I work online so I DON'T have any revenue from France directly like real estate or physical business.

Thank you

I have the DTV visa. I'm trying to open a TrueMoney account on my phone.

It seems that TrueMoney is blocking foreigner registrations. When you click "scan passport" it fails. But when you click "scan local Thai ID card" it works without issue.

Can anyone confirm this?
