For the DTV Visa. Do you need to have 15k USD in the bank or will enough income be enough to get approved? My question is if you need both or will either one work?

I’m English and my wife is Polish, I’m already in Thailand on Non O retirement visa and building a home ready to move my wife and dogs once completed.

My wife has Polish and soon UK passport and turns 50 on September the 1st.

I have Thai bank account and she doesn’t.

With new banking regulations I see the only way for us to get the bank account open is to apply for 90 day Non O in the UK, I assume once she’s turned 50 or could we do it before? Then open her a bank account once she’s here, deposit the 800,000 and apply for the extension after 2 months?

Sorry if any of my terminology is incorrect.

looking for non-B visa references: if you've successfully registered a company and got a working permit with a non-B visa or know someone who has, I'd love a contact reference. TIA.

Hi all, I am seeking an agent in Bangkok, that may be able to assist me in obtaining a retirement visa with multiple entries, (if such a visa exists), as well as a Thai bank account.

PM me if you are able to assist, I will be arriving in Bangkok in Nov.

Has anyone successfully gained DTV e-visa from Royal Thai Embassy, London? I have some questions about the required documents. Yes, I have already checked their website and can not find a detailed account or samples of the documents I have queries on, mainly Employment and financial evidence.

Any help would be grateful

Thanks in advance

Non-Immigrant O Visa (working foreign spouse) financial requirements?

I am struggling to find official requirements for the “dependency” visa. If anyone can pass on information or a link of where to look it would be really appreciated. Specifically I am trying to find out if there are financial requirements? such as the 400,000 Baht needed for other visas 🤔

Hello everyone 🙏

Quick question: I was granted a Visa on Arrival earlier this year and got 1 ”normal” extension plus one Covid one. Now back home and thinking about going back some time soon. Can I get another Visa on Arrival as usual even though the old one was rather recently granted (about 4-5 months ago)? Thank you very much 😊

Hello all, I'm having some confusion booking a 5-day quarantine, sandbox hotel in Bangkok for January 8. The Thailand Pass application site says I need proof of 1: RT-PCR test and 1: antigen test along with my SHA hotel. But all the SHA Thailand Pass hotels only show 1 RT-PCR test included. I don't want my Thailand Pass to get rejected because my hotel receipt only shows the one RT-PCR test was paid for. Any insight on t his is appreciated. Thanks
