Hello!

I'm about to do my first re-entry while having a DTV active (entered with it Thailand in end of January and have to extend or re-enter now for the +180 days. By plane (singapore). Aside from the visa document, do I need anything else for the airport? I've been reading all the posts about being stricter now. I don't have a statement showing money in bank account, but I can show the money through e-banking if needed (they are across few accounts, all mine). The DTV was as digital nomad (showed portfolio and business and money back then).

I'm slightly confused. I understand the 400,000 bht requirement in a Thai bank to get the marriage visa. I also understand that I will need to get the 90 day non-o visa from my local Thai consulate. However, I saw a requirement that I need to show a financial amount of 20,000 bht to apply for that 90 day visa.

1. That seems like a very small amount; only about $600. Is that correct?

2. I assume that it can be in a US bank, but is there a certain amount of time that the deposit must be shown?

3. Can it be in a joint checking account with my wife, or does it need to be in a separate account in my name only?

4. If I can't use a joint account, can I show an IRA account that is in my sole name?

5. I realize that these are probably very dumb questions, but I want to make sure that I have everything properly arranged before I start. Thanks

Has anyone already extended their DTV visa by 180 days at immigration to KPG?

Hi there! Quick questions for anyone familiar with the DTV visa process for Thailand:

1️⃣ Do you need to stay outside Thailand for 3 months before applying for the DTV visa at a Thai embassy (e.g., in Hanoi)?

2️⃣ For the 500,000 baht bank statement, does the bank need to be the same one where salary slips are issued, or can it be from a different bank?

Appreciate any insights! Thanks!

Hi All, Seeking some clarification on the "medical visa". My tourist visa expires April 20, I would like to start a medical visa for dental work before then. The work should take 2 - 6 months to complete and doctor's office said they would provide certifying letter of appointments. My questions are:

* the Thai embassy site seems straight forward, just mentioning the doctor's letter stating appointment dates, but google results mention medical facility registration letter (from Ministry of Health?), and bank statement with minimum balance (not sure if they mean a US bank statement or do I need to open a Thai acct), so what exactly is needed?

* Thai E visa site, pop up window states you cannot apply for E visa while you are in Thailand. Is this really true, and if so would the in person Immigration office tell me if I am missing some documentation before applying/paying and getting rejected?

* Lastly, this is for dental work, so I could fly home and have it done, do they care if I am travel worthy or not to have the work done in my home country?

Any help is appreciated!

Hey everyone. Questions keep coming up trying to apply for a dtv. Do we need evidence of residence when applying? I'm planning to stay at my friends condo and I'm planning to pay rent there. What's the best way to show that?

Also, to show 500,000 in the bank would the most current bank statement be enough? Thanks for the help.

Currently in Vietnam/ HCMC applying DTV medical.

Some notes:

-Bank statement over the last 6 months, with the final balance of 500k THB (can be transferred e.g. in the last week)

I also took a print screen of the final balance on the day I applied (sometimes the statement shows the previous date not current date, the day of applying)

-A medical certificate with condition, proof of following appointment and treatment plan for the coming 6 months. All official with paper of health center/ doctor, stamp and signature.

Showing proof of previous appointment(s) is not being asked, but I think it is a plus if you do.

At first the Embassy said "please provide appointment letter with hospital and a letter from them stating your condition for the hospital additionally, if you have any receipt/ any document proven your related project it is recommended to attach with main document."

However during the process I am being asked to show an extra document of 6 months treatment plan. Even though it was indicated in the medical certificate that I need a check-up every x months for my condition.

-I was also being asked to show ALL pages of the passport, even the blank ones. Maybe because my passport is totally new.

-Proof of location: entry stamp Vietnam, booked hotel in Vietnam, ticket proof to Vietnam/ boarding pass. I took a photo of the accommodation's invoice, entry stamp, and boarding pass.

My process so far. I thought I had done everything perfectly, so the extra "homework" surprised me a bit.

Hello, I submitted a DTV visa and i'm reading that not all embassies accept a family member like a mother as a sponsor.

I'm applying to Madrid embassy and I have spanish passport. Do you guys know if this is true?

There are so much confusing info, like some people say I need to submit a 6mo statement, which means I need to have the 500k for long time to make sure it is not a single loan, and other say that adding those 500k one time is enough.

That's why my mother is sponsoring me, do you guys have any idea about it?

also, do you know how much time can I expect to have the approval?

Thanks for your help!!
