Hello, How long in advance do I need to apply for a deposit certificate/bank statement if I want to apply for DTV? Thank you for your reply:)

I am currently in chumphon on a normal 30 day we entry visa...wanting to apply for a retirement visa....I have 6 months bank statements for proof of incoming pensions...I know I must get health insurance and an apartment...do you suggest a visa agent to help or should I just get a 30 day extension and keep on...how long is the process once applied for.

Hello I made a request for a bank statement online on my kasikorn app, they sent me my statement by email, however to open the PDF I have to enter the password which is my complete date of birth in numbers. When I make the request do I have to send the PDF or are PNG screenshots accepted? I plan to apply in Hanoi. Thx

FOR SYDNEY ONLY

Hi everyone,

Has anyone here applied for the DTV visa through the Thai Consulate in Sydney and had success when the 500,000 THB wasn’t sitting in their account for the full 3 months?

I do have a 3-month bank statement with the required funds, but the money hasn’t been there for 3 months straight. When I was enquiring to the people who were sorting out my Soft Power course, they mentioned it was recommended to hold it for 3 months but not a strict requirement.

Just wondering if anyone has been approved in the same situation. Appreciate any advice from people who’ve gone through it in Sydney!

Hello, I would like to know about the bank statement. Does it need to be signed and stamped by the bank? Thank you.

Approved in one day by the London embassy.

Applied Friday late afternoon.

Additional documents requested.

Sent those half an hour later.

Approval email came through Tuesday evening.

Long and short of it: Applied for the workacation category. Had the 500k thb spread across different accounts so sent bank statements from the past few months for current, biz and ISA. Sent a random selection of invoices from the past few years to show business viability. Wrote a quick letter saying I authorise myself to work remotely. Sent first page of incorporation documents and tax doc (just a letter saying it’s time to file). Sent drivers license and internet bill with address.

Additional documents requested were a formal letter addressed to the embassy introducing myself and my work, and stating I won’t be concerned with Thai laws or work with Thai clients. Also requested full company incorporation documents stating my name and position.

Prepared a formal letter and downloaded my incorporation documents direct from the public register. There was the option to order a certified copy of these but I just downloaded the pdf and sent that.

Approved.

Hi everyone, I'm in the middle of applying for my non o visa from Canada . I'm due to arrive in Thailand October 21. Is it too early to apply now. Also regarding the bank statement for proof of funds, can I cross out the account number for security reasons. Thanks in advance

I would like to ask the people who uploaded the bank statement if this one from my bank can be approbed? It has more than 500k for more than a year and below it says was created today 8-7-2025.

Is from my bank in Spain, but I need to know if this is how it should look like or is there any information missing.. Can be translated from an online PDF platform ???

Thanks...

Hi everyone,

I’m currently in Thailand on a 60-day entry permit and planning to apply for the DTV visa soon. I have a quick question I hope someone here can help me with:

Do the required 500,000 THB (~13,000 EUR) need to be in my bank account continuously for 3 months, or is it sufficient to show a current bank statement with that amount and a history of regular activity (e.g., salary payments, transactions)?

I’m a bit unsure about the exact requirement and would really appreciate your input.

Also open to using a visa service if anyone has good recommendations! 😊

Thanks a lot in advance & warm greetings from Thailand 🇹🇭

Hi! Does the London embassy accept 1 month statement that shows the whole month? I’ve heard rumours they want 3 months?
