Vientienne has a new online (only?) System since the beginning of this year. Anybody had any experience with this? Average process time and time The 500k Baht have to be on the account

I'm looking for a soft power dtv.

I am renewing a retirement visa and am struggling to get the Thai bank account letter early in the morning.

Before then queuing at immigration (Chaeng Wattana). Often too late to get a decent #

Any advice appreciated.

-Does the bank account letter have to be issued the same day as renewal?

-Is there a Bangkok bank nearby?

EDIT: thanks so much for all the replies folks!! @admins: would it be helpful to start setting up an F.A.Q?

Hey everybody, Firstly thanks so much for all the great advice. I have a few question about the requirements:

- can I can have 500K baht across different bank accounts that are in my name? or does it need to be in a single account?

- I also heard that you need to show proof of salaries equivalent to >= 80K usd per year. is this correct? it would be a problem for me as I've been working parttime the last year

- lastly, can I apply for the DTV visa while I have an active other VISA? I currently have an ED one

Hi. I am interested in applying for the DTV as a professional remote worker currently in Thailand. I have an LLC in Florida, USA with a business bank account where I deposit my business revenue.

I operate a boutique consulting and portfolio management firm. Can I show the business bank account for proof of 15,000 USD cash instead of a personal bank account?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I am going crazy.

I realize I made a mistake that I did not get my non-immigrant visa before I came to Thailand . The bank is telling me they cannot open an account until I get the visa. Immigration is telling me they will not give me the visa until I have a bank account.

The bank tells me I need a phone number. I am at Jungceylon Mall in Patong. The phone store is telling me they cannot give me a cheap phone so that I have a phone number to give the bank unless I go all the way to Phuket town to get documents.

Is this crazy?

Like, you can't dip below 500k baht at all later on or is it just for when you first apply for the DTV visa?

Being based in Vientiane, I have several questions with regards to multiple entry tourist visa.

1) Tod Daniels has affirmed in a forum which I read that proof of residence in Laos wouid be okay with the stay permit and work permit. ( please confirm )

2) 200,000 baht has to shown. Can this be shown in a UK bank account to the equilvalent in thai baht? Let’s just say 40 is the rate.

3) How necessary is the hotel booking and mode of transport? I’ll be crossing at theNong khai bridge mainly for day trips and overnight trips. Please advise .

How's it possible to get a soft option DTV that lasts 5 years???

That's a lot of cooking and music festivals lol

I'm skint, but I have a Thai girl who owns her own condo and has a bank account. What can I get away with?

Can we apply for 90 days retirement visa just day arrival to Thailand

Hi! If you are apply for DTV with spouse visa, can you use a joint bank account for proof of 500,000bht?

I think I understand it correctly that we need 500,000bht each? If so, could we submit with 1M bht in one joint account?

Thanks!
