Just a few Questions Regarding DTV Visa

Just spent 7 months out the last 12 Months in Thailand 😍 only been back a week and missing it 😂

I will be applying from the UK

1. Does the 500,000 Baht have to be in your bank account for 3 Months and show on your statements it’s been there for 3 months or Longer? Or can you make a transfer into your account before you submit the application?

2. Is the 500,000 Baht in your bank account checked on arrival in Thailand after being approved?

3. Been seeing and hearing you have to also show that 500,000 Baht on 90 Day Check In - Re entry After 180 Days

4. If I wasn’t to have the 500,000 baht in my account how does the sponsorship letter work?

I'm still confused. I am trying to go the OA route and one must apply outside Thailand (TL).

I won't have the 800k thb (no comments please) but I earn 100k thb each month social security and have for 1.5 years. Soon to start collecting on a pension, LTR eventually). The US LA Consulate page has three options for income verification for the OA:

1. 800 thb in bank last 3 months;

1. income certificate for 65k thb (US embassy does not do this)

2. "or a deposit account plus a monthly income totaling not less than 800k thb (in one year). In the case of submitting a bank statement, a letter of guarantee from bank (an original copy) is required."

It goes on to say "Recent bank statement showing the applicant's name and ending balance of no less that $30,000 or proof of monthly income of not less that $2500/month along with the current bank statement showing incoming income."

Question: If Im outside, how would this have to be in a Thai bank? Can't set one up without a long-term visa.

Has anyone experienced opening a bank account in Pattaya and the bank asked for 10,000 baht fee? as requirement to get a retirement visa. Thanks for any info.

Hi just submitted non O to Canberra as from Qld , how long before I receive Evisa approval, fly out 22/07/25 to Bangkok

Anyone who is applying in Jakarta this month.

Any update ?

FOR MY FIRST 90 DAY Visa Extension Check-in, do I have to go to Immigration exactly on the 90th day? Or are there a window of days grace to check-in around the 90th day?

With the Digital Arrival Card…..do you get a confirming email immediately after application….?

And do you have to show that email on arrival…..?

That’s for all the help…always appreciated..

For Bangkokians

The Counter for 90-day reports will move to the 3rd floor (one floor up) after the long weekend

For people who applied in Jakarta how many total days did you end up having to stay?

Are there checks being conducted for the updated balance of the 500k upon arrival at BKK airport?
