Hi hopefully you guys can point me in right direction,

Couple of quick questions.

Do I need my Thai ID before I can apply for my Thai passport?

What documents will I need to prove to apply for passport ID ?

My mother is Thai but I was born and live in the UK, we have houses and land in Bangkok and surrounding areas, will this help me at all?

Thanks 🙏

Hello everyone!

I’ve just started the process for the DTV Visa and I’m currently in Thailand. I’m looking for insights about which Thai embassy in Asia you’ve found to be the most efficient and smooth in processing the DTV Visa (Soft Power).

I’m also curious to know if any embassy would accept a bank statement showing funds of 500,000 THB that have been recently transferred, as part of the standard visa requirements.

Thank you for sharing your experiences!

I’m close to my 2 year window to go to retire in Thailand. Question, my spouse who just went to LA to Thai consulate to renew her passport made me think about this. Should I apply for a retirement visa in the US before I go or get an agent once I’m there? No experience with any of this.

Can we create a list about how many months of bank statements each embassy requires?

Seen so far:

Ho Chi Minh: 6 months

Yangon: 1 month

Vientiane: 3-6 months

Phnom Penh: 1 month

Hanoi: 6 months

EU: 1 month (Madrid 3)

US: 1 month

Jakarta: 1-2 months

This is undocumented by the embassies and will be a major reason why people get rejected. Many don't keep 500k cash in their bank account but have it invested into stocks, bonds, etc instead. Since broker account statements are not accepted, this rule can be a blocker.

I’m looking to hear from anyone from the US who recently applied online and got approved for a Non-O visa. I’m thinking my husband and I will want to apply this way so it’s one less thing to do once we arrive in Thailand.

I’ve reviewed the document requirements on the e-visa website but I wonder if there are any other documents you needed to provide that might not be listed. I felt that was my experience last November when I applied for the tourist visa. Kept having to provide more documents that weren’t clearly mentioned on the website.

It seems very straightforward as to what is needed. Just want to be as prepared as possible when we submit the applications.

I’m in Thailand already . Confused . Is this saying to leave and then reapply from the Thai embassy in the other country? This is my 2nd visit to Thailand this year. If I leave I won’t be able to return from the other country for 3rd visit will I?TIA
