What’s required for extension at Patong Immigration office? Typically I’ve found this office to be very relaxed with their requirements on things, but not sure when it comes to DTV.

Hello and good day to everyone!

I have two quick questions:

The first one is, I currently have a DTV workation, and in 3 weeks it will be 90 days since I arrived in the country. I've heard that it needs to be declared. I am currently in Chiang Mai; is this done at the same place as the visa extension? Also, do I need to prepare anything in advance, or should I just show up with my passport, and that's enough?

The second question: Once I leave the country and decide to come back, do I still need to prove I have 500k baht in my bank account, or is there no more check?

Thank you so much in advance for your answers! :)

I and my wife(both over 50) want to apply for 1 year non-O-A retirement visa in home country(Hong Kong). I want to know that can we extend our non-O-A visa annually inside Thailand? What is the requirement for application of the extension?

Thanks

If you already have the DTV digital nomad visa, do they check again the 500.000THB in your bank account upon rearrival? 🤔

Hi everyone I’m interested in getting a destination travel visa but I’m curious to know if anyone has experience with the Los Angeles thai consulate in regards to how long the 500,000 THB needs to be in the bank for. Thank you :)

Hey guys,

I’m planning to go to Hanoi, Vietnam or Bali, Indonesia in two weeks to apply for a Muay Thai DTV. Today, I got in touch with a Muay Thai gym in Chiang Mai, and they told me that for the DTV application, not only do you need a bank balance of at least 500,000 THB, but it also has to have been maintained for at least three months.

This caught me off guard because just a month ago, they said holding it for one month was enough. So I’d really appreciate some advice from anyone who has successfully applied for the DTV in Hanoi or Bali.

Should I go ahead and try applying in Hanoi or Bali, or should I wait another two months until my bank balance meets the three-month requirement?

Thanks in advance!

Please correct me if this is completely wrong or just a puerile question, but do I get it right that, no matter via which Embassy you apply, it's likely that DTVisa applications for Digital Nomads where the applicant is forcing to keep doing his/her remote job abroad are supposed to hand work contracts/arrangements, portfolios (or just one of the last three ones) AND documents that show monthly income (based on their profession) while DTV applications of people who are willing to participate in Thai Soft Powers (like cooking class or Muay Thai course) are "only" supposed to include a bank account that is well balanced (B 500,000, for the past three months at least) and the confirmation of that particular Thai soft power/cultural course?

Sometimes it seems unpredictable which argumentation is received well by the Thai embassies.

Is it counterproductive to include proof of a remote job arrangement of your company (thus, a monthly income) when you are determined to "only" participate in a Muay Thai course? Some Embassies can be very erratic when it comes to the constellation of your application's legend 🙄

Thanks so much for your attention!

hello

I understand that I need to keep 500,000 baht in my account for more than 3 months.

But I'm short by about 11 days

Can I still apply for a visa and be accepted?

Or should I wait until the 3 months are up before applying for a visa?

If I were to apply for a visa, 500,000 baht would be left in my account for 79 days.

Please help me guys

Hi everyone, I’m planning to apply for the DTV via the Thai Embassy in Jakarta while I’m currently in Bali. I have a question about the 500,000 THB bank balance requirement.

Is it enough to show a closing balance of at least 500,000 THB in the most recent bank statement, or do they actually require you to maintain that balance over multiple months (like 3 or 6 months)?

And if they do check the last few months, do they only look at the closing balance of each month, or do they care about the average daily balance or full-month consistency?

For context:

I’m a frontend developer working remotely, and I receive my salary in USD. I can provide proof of 1.5 years of consistent monthly payments if that helps support the application.

If anyone has applied through Jakarta and can share their experience, I’d really appreciate it, thank you!

Hi there! I wanted to ask if it’s possible to apply for the DTV Nomad Visa as a consultant. I work for a marketing firm as a consultant and wasn’t sure if that qualifies under the program. What sort of documentation are required from the company Also, is there a minimum monthly salary requirement, or do you just need to show a certain bank balance instead? Would really appreciate any clarity or guidance on this. Thanks in advance!
