Hi everyone, I’m planning to apply for the DTV visa through an agent, and I’ve heard very different things about the 500,000 THB bank requirement.

Some agents told me the money doesn’t need to stay in my account for 3 months, even just 1 or 2 days is enough. Others said it has to be there for 3 months or even longer.

I’m really confused and want to do this the right way.

I plan to apply in Hanoi, so if anyone has experience applying there, I’d love to hear your insights.

– How long did your money stay in your account before applying?

– Was your application approved smoothly?

Also, if you know any trustworthy agent who has helped you or your friends get the DTV visa successfully, I’d really appreciate a recommendation!

Thanks so much 🙏

I just want to make sure I’m following a safe and proper process.

Hey yall with the money in the bank requirement. I have it but it’s in investment accounts. Do I have to pull my money out to season it in a checking account for 3 months? Before applying or can I just show them an investment account?

You can show up on the 60 day visa exempt entry stamp, get the 800K baht in your account then apply FIRST for the 90 day Non-O visa for 2000baht at the immigration office, then wait until you have the funds seasoned 2 months and apply for the year extension for 1900baht

You could get the Non-O visa from the thai consulate in your country before you come here. THEN apply for the extension after the 800K baht has been in your account for 2 months

Getting the 90 day Non-O visa before you come here would save you two trips to immigrations (applying for the 90 day Non-O and then going back to get it in your passport 2 weeks later)

Yep the 800K baht has to be in a thai bank account in your name only for 2 months before you apply for the year extension..

(NOTE: in Jomtien immigrations the 800K baht has to be in your account for 2 months before you apply for the initial Non-O visa as well)

I would get the 90 day Non-O before you come here as then it's "out of the way" and you can concentrate on getting the 800K baht in the bank and letting it season the 2 months required so you can apply for the year extension.

I know this has been asked many times but I am uncertain….

I have Bank Account with more than baht 800.000 over the last 5 months.

I plan to be in Thailand again by end of Feb and I would like to use the visa exempt entry (subject to the answer to my question) for the 22 months extension.

Can I apply for the 12 months non-o for pensioners with the visa exempt entry or is the 90 day Non-O Visa required?

Thanks

I just got my 90 days non immigrant visa in london. Single entry to visit my spouse. What document do i need to extend to one year spouse visa got told i have to have 400000 in thai bank. I am still working in london can i show my pay slip as a income. Instead deposit in thai bank. Any advice welcome

Just got my non-o for dependant and got granted the first three months. After this I can extend it for another year inside Thailand. I wanna do this in Chiang Mai and my question is if they wanna see the 400k thb in the bank account again or it's just needed to get the initial visa?

Hi guys, ref seasoning of funds if I have over 800k Thb in an account (been there a while) but it’s not clearly a foreign deposit, I then bring 800k Thb under a designated deposit (clearly shown)do I still have to wait for 3 months to apply for extension or will the other money count towards the seasoning aspect

For how long do I have to keep the required 500,000 baht in the bank after getting the guardian visa?

Hi guys.
