Hey guys! I have a question. I hope it doesn't come across as confusing to you as it is in my head: I placed my dad in VivoCare, a dementia care facility, here in Thailand at the beginning of February. He's an 82 yo Army vet with a full pension and disability. Once at VivoCare, they helped him open up a bank account with Bangkok bank with 800,000 baht that I provided. That month, I started sending 70,000 baht into the bank account via Wise from his US bank account every month, and will continue as long as he's there.

They keep telling me that after his visa (not LTV) gets approved tomorrow at immigration, I must continue to deposit 70,000 baht into his BBK account every month (which I knew), but that I can withdraw the 800,000 baht or spend it on his monthly rent at the facility. That makes me nervous: Can I draw the 800,000 down entirely? Or does at least 400,000 baht need to stay in that account? What about the thing where 800,000 (400,000?) needs to stay in the account 3 months after approval? Or is that a different visa route?

I'm trying to figure out what Visa he's getting. But more importantly, I don't want to draw the money too far down below the 400,000 baht or draw it too soon if it'll mess him up.

Please explain it to me because I keep asking them and they keep saying I can, but his immigration money isn't something I want to play with.

I was asked for evidence of 500k baht for 3 months. Is it possible to combine a thai bank account with a balance from a foreign bank account?

Hi … How long does the 500,000 bht need to be sitting in a bank account when applying for a DTV (dental). Thanks.. Edited as requested. Location of application will be carried out in England, United Kingdom…

So is it 500k baht cumulatively over the past 6 months of bank statements? Or is it 500k baht shown as a closing balance each month of those 6 months??

Applying in Ho Chi Mihn soon!

Thanks!!

Good day! Tried to search Google first, so be kind …

Please help me with the confusion - retirement visa for Thailand at the age of 50. Do I need to have some monthly income (1850 USD per Google)? Obviously, at 50 years old I won’t be collecting my social security yet … is there a way to get retirement visa based on bank accounts balance or any trick around? Can I pay myself that darn 1850USD each month?

I have funds (sold all the assets in US) but not at retirement age yet

Thanks for your advice

Ps. Not 50 yet, not for a long while BUT already looking into my options outside of the US and EU

Hey everyone!

I'm planning to get my DTV visa in Vientiane, Laos. I recently reached the 500k baht minimum, so I'm a bit worried I won't comply with the 6-month account balance mininmum? Or is that not a problem?

I'm a freelancer. What do I need to submit on the evisa site to make sure I have everything covered?

Thanks!

I hope someone might be able to help with a few questions about the DTV visa.

From what I can read, to get approved, I must be able to provide evidence of having 500k baht in my bank account. That's fine, but do the money have to stay there for the entire stay in Thailand or am I allowed to use some of it?

The alternative is a sponsorship letter, if I'm not wrong? What would that look like? Does anyone have an example of such a letter?

Getting conflicting information, so asking here.

I’m traveling to Thailand on a Non-O. I intend to get a 1-year extension based on marriage, and do plan on renewing every year. I’m using the seasoned money method (400K baht in Thai bank account for 2-3 months).

1. Do I need to prove that the funds came from an overseas source?

2. Is there a minimum balance required in my Thai bank account throughout the year? As in, what if I temporarily go below 400k baht at some point during the year, so long as it isn’t within the 3 months before renewal; is this a problem?

My main bank account has had less than 500,000 in it as all my money is tied up in investments and such.

I've just dumped 500,000 baht into my bank account and have a statement showing the account has more than 500,000 baht inside, however, will this be a red flag due to not having 500,000baht worth of my hoem currency in my account for over 6 months?

Has anyone extended his DTV visa after the first 180 days and know if they ask to see the balance on the account?
