Hi everyone, I am thinking of moving to Thailand and want to apply for a DTV visa, but I don't have 500,000 in my bank account, I only have half of it. I work as a freelancer, contract and content traveler. Is there anyone who can help me to apply for a visa without 500,000 in my bank account? Thankyou.
I’m curious about if I’d qualify for a DTV visa, I do not work online but own rental properties. Would this be considered for making income outside of Thailand? Or would it be best to apply for a DTV visa for language? I’m interested in learning Thai!
🇹🇭 Has anyone experienced “comments” in the Thai immigration system?
Some travelers have reported receiving shorter stays or facing stricter questioning at the border after entering Thailand multiple times within a short period. In certain cases, visa agencies later confirmed that a “comment” (internal note) had been added to the traveler's immigration profile.
These comments are not visible and not officially communicated, but immigration officers can see them when scanning the passport. They may be triggered by recurring patterns such as:
Frequent entries and exits within a short timeframe
Short stays outside Thailand between entries
Behavior that resembles visa runs or long-term stays without the proper visa
This raises questions about how such comments might affect future entries or visa applications, and whether they can be viewed or removed.
Some common suggestions include:
Applying for an ED visa, which is possible if at least 45 days remain on the current permission to stay
If only 20 days remain, it may be too late to apply from within Thailand — applying from Cambodia might be safer
Using the e-Visa system, if applicable
Waiting a few months before returning, to allow the situation in the system to “cool off”
Any experiences or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Hi, which DTV activity do you recommend for someone living in Phuket (I can do sports), and which country do you recommend for applying? I currently have 1 year of Ed visa learning Thai. Thank you.
Embassy in Hanoi. I very appreciate group for providing information. I had ED visa and have done visa cancellation in Bangkok. I have applied my visa application 04-04-2025 got approved after 4 working days 10-04-2025 no additional documents were required. Here is my list:
- photo
- bank statement and my account balance
- passport scanned all pages and noted which page have entry stamp
- certificate from company(show my salary and which date i started work and work remote) and personal income tax for 6 months
Do I need to cancel a three month education visa (first one - no extensions) before I leave the country? Or does it naturally expire. I plan on having another ED visa in the future so don’t want any issues
