Hi!

I have a question about the 500,000 THB bank balance requirement for DTV visa.

The money is in a liquid savings/fixed deposit that appears on my main bank account statement.

Does that count, or does it have to be in a regular current/checking account?

Thank you!

I’m sure it’s been asked before but I’m not sure what keywords to type in to look for it. With this said, I’d like to know if there’s a way around having 15k in my bank account to get my DTV. My wife and I plan to move to Thailand mid April and live for a few years to teach at schools in rural area. Please let me know what to do

Is having 500k Thai baht in a Thai bank ok for the dtv requirement?

Can it be 500k at one time or does it have to be present for 3-6 months please?

I’m currently in Thailand on an ED visa and I would be looking to change to DTV Muay Thai visa. Will probably go to Vietnam for processing

Thank you

Hello everyone!

I’m preparing to apply for the DTV visa at the end of January in Hanoi.

I’ve been living in Thailand for 5 years, and my bank account with a 500k baht balance is in a Thai bank.

Would this be an issue? Has anyone successfully applied using a Thai bank to prove the balance?

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Hi DVT Group, a few questions i need help with. When applying for the DTV via the Thai Embassy website in Aust, it requests flight dates including a return date. If buying a one way ticket what should this date be? Also, can you provide a flight number that has not yet been booked or do you recommend paying for flights before the DTV has been approved? Finally, is it a requirement to a minimum balance of 500,000 THB (approximately 22,985 AUD) in your bank account for at least three months prior to application?

Hello everyone. Can I apply for a dtv visa even if I don't have a regular source of income? I have more money in the bank than what is requested (500k) is it enough?

For soft activities do you just need the 500,000 in bank? How long must you enroll in a class for? And when renewing do you not need to be in a class?

Hello everyone! I’ve not been working for the past year (took time out to travel) and have just started a new remote job. I will have all the required documents as well as 500k THB in the bank for 6 months, however I’m worried that as I have just started this new job that I could run into trouble. Would an employment contract with a recent start date be problematic? Do they want to see evidence of being paid for the last x months in the bank statements? I know this probably differs between embassies but just wanted to see if anyone has been in a similar situation?
