Hello! I contacted the Vancouver consulate to get some questions answered about the DTV and they were fairly helpful but still didn't quite answer the question: do I need twice the 500k baht for me and my husband or just 500k for one? They said we can apply as a couple and one of us would need to submit a sponsorship letter because our bank is a joint account. Has anyone had to do that letter? Thanks!

Help: What is the most common mistake people make when applying for the DTV?

Hello,

I went to Phuket Town Immigration to ask about applying for a Marriage Visa for the first time.

I’m leaving Thailand soon to go back to work and won’t return till October when I will apply for a marriage visa & I wanted to make sure I understood everything correctly.

I was hoping I could get something cleared up please about the length of time funds needed to be in your bank account.

Is it correct that when you apply for your marriage visa the first time you need 400,000baht in the bank only 1 day before you apply?

And then when you apply for your 1 year extension for 3 months later you need to keep 400,000 baht all that time up to the extension date?

(Which makes sense to me)

The part that I’m not sure about is that I was told by the kind officer that after you get the extension you need to keep the 400,000baht in you bank account for 2 months after the start date of your 1 year extension.

I thought and I could well be wrong with a marriage visa that as soon as you got the 1 year extension that you could take the 400,000baht out of your bank account if you wanted too.

I thought it was just for retirement type visas extensions that you had too leave the funds for 2 months after you get the extension.

I likely will leave the funds in my bank account all year long anyway but I just wanted to understand better in case I needed to access the funds in an emergency when I would be able too, and when I could do so without jeopardising my Marriage visa extension.

Thanks in Advance 🙏

Hello

We need to have 500k on our bank account for each person or all family? Applying from Portugal. Thanks

Its time to start the process for retirement. How much can i do from Australia before heading over. As in visa!

just had some good news from the Thai embassy in London, asking about the trouble we are having openings a Thai bank account at the moment and they said they except HSBC bank for a long term visa application, sounds good to me,

Can someone who had o-x visa detail the process?

1. Get into Thailand with tourist visa

2. Open a Thailand bank account and deposit $30000

3. Wait after 3 months and then go to apply

4. I read need health certificate, can I do it in Thailand?

5. Can I transfer money from my chase bank to Thailand bank account directly?

6. How to approve your pension or 401 K or social security ? Statements are enough ?

I am from the US. I am 60 years old and not qualify for social security yet but i have half a million 401 k and savings .

I am interested in applying for a retirement visa. Do I need to do that once I arrive in Thailand?

A friend said I have to open a bank account in Thailand. A few years ago, the requirement was $25,000 US for 6 months.

Can anyone advise ?

I am a US citizen looking into Visa.

For the Visa's that require a certain amount of Baht or Dollars in a bank account, am I able to use the amount in my 401K as long as it is still there when it comes time to apply?

Thank you.

My family will be moving there and applying for a remote worker visa from my wifes job. Do we need 800k baht total in the bank? Or is that per person? I will not be working and just be on the spouse visa as i will just be collecting passive income from renting out my property.
