I know things have changed in recent months but can anybody refer me to a visa agency that can still do a 90-day + 12 month extension based on retirement including opening the required bank account for 40,000 or less?

Does a US letter from SSI stating over 3300$ a month eliminate the 80k bank account requirement?

Applied for DTV dependant. They gave me non b instead. Happened to anyone?

Is there a step by step guide somewhere for getting a Non O followed by the 12 month extension, in country?

Can the money in the accounts be distributed on different banks? (maybe 10k on one and 10k on another?)

how about having the money on wise? (or other online banks like mercury)

Hello everyone,

I just got my DTV visa approved. Question - do I need to have the $16k sitting in my bank account on arrival? Cause right now I have only about a half of that there.

I have heard "scary" stories that people are being checked on entry for the $16k amount. I can top it up again - but that will take me a couple of days and will require me to transfer funds from accounts that I don't want touch unless absolutely necessary.

So has anyone had ACTUAL experience of immigration checking the bank account on arrival? Thanks a lot.

Hello, I am looking to open a bank account on a DTV visa - can anyone recommend a good agent that's not charging something like 25k for their services? 🙏

Hi everyone! Quick question regarding the DTV. If you are applying for the DTV and your spouse is doing so as well, does your spouse also need to have the $15,000 USD in their account as well, or would they be looked at as an extension of your DTV? Still learning. Thanks in advance for the insight!!

I am starting "the process" to live full-time in Thailand.

I plan to:

1. arrive in Thailand from the US in June,

2. stay two months with a friend near Udon Thani,

3. Go back to US for August to finish up with getting a house caretaker.

4.In September, Return to Thailand for a long time.

Question?......

For step 1 should I still arrive in a US Pasport and apply for an LTRVisa while Im there?👀

OR Apply now for ?something? on their website before step 1?👀

I don't have the 800k yet, but pull over 100k baht/mo pension. They should let me open an account right? Ill have the 800k easily in less than a year.

I appreciate any information on this. Thanks.

Hi all . I'm new to the group. I'm looking for some advice on getting a retirement visa. Is it easier to do in country or from Australia through the Thailand embassy.

Cheers
