I am planning to apply a non o retirement visa from my home country. After staying 3 months in Thailand when i apply for extension do i need to have that 800 000b in thai account?

Hi everyone! Quick DTV visa question.

I know I need to show 500,000 baht in my account for my application. If my visa is approved and then I apply for a dependent visa for my child—do I need to show another 500,000 (so 1 million total), or is the original amount enough?

Planning to apply from Vietnam. Thanks!

I saw a few ppl on TikTok CLAIM to have received a DTV using their military retirement (US). How? Is that possible?

Can anyone tell me how if there is a minimum term for the 500k to be in your account for uk application

Recent successes obtained in DTV in Vientiane as part of soft power activities especially in muay thai? thanks a lot

I am a 60- something in the US. I used to live in Roi-et, and am just starting to look into retiring there. I have a couple of basic questions: 1) from reading the info on the LA consulate page, I gather that if I have the 800k banked, I do not need to document monthly income. Correct? 2)since the bank account is required, this should mean I have to come to Thailand on the visa exemption first, then apply? and 3) if I were to start with a non-immigrant type O, can that be renewed or do I just start with O-A? Thank you for any information.

Hello, I would like to ask a question about DTV. When applying as a couple, do we need to have 1 million baht in the bank account?

Allow me a question please... about retirement visa process for Americans... I'm over 50 and have pensions... my SSAN alone is over the 800,000 baht requirement...

Recently, I obtained a "pdf" soft-copy letter from the US Social Security Admin... Thai immigration says get the US Consul in Chiang Mai to authenticate it... I've contacted the Consul... but their automatic responses are as clear as mud...

Do I make an appointment for notary services or what? They have more info about what they will not do... than what they, will do to help citizens in Thailand.

Any Americans in Thailand who have dealt with this stamping/notarizing and accomplished this?

Informed input will be appreciated. T I A

American citizen here. Can you apply for a 6 month METV while in Thailand? Here is my dilemma. Thinking of retiring to Thailand?, but before I plop approximately $22,000 US dollars into a Thai bank account I want to spend as close to a year in Thailand to see if it is for me. I don't know whether to get a 6 month METV first, extend 2x's to make it 9 months, do my two exits and entry's then put in for a 60 day Tourist visa and extend it 30 days to make it 90 days and then put my retirement VISA in. In other words want to spend as close to a year in Thailand before I put in fot Retirement Visa. I want to make sure that Thailand is the place. Any help would be appreciated? Thanks in Advance.

I am cancelling my work permit and non-B extension and transferring to a Non-O retirement extension. I think that is the correct terminology.

I have had 800,000 in a Thai bank savings account for many years

Does anyone happen to have a list of documents required at Changwattana to do this? Any recent experiences?

Thanks.
