I have just been advised by bitkub that my cryptocurrency holdings may be used for my annual retirement visa application. Has anyone used this facility successfully?

Hello, I'm sorry as I know this question is repetitive. But the only condition for DTV I could struggle with is the bank statement of 500,000 baht being held for a long period of time.

I was quite hoping to deposit it shortly before applying, but of course, many people say it has to be in there for 3-6 months.

But also many people say, it does not matter, some people even putting the 500k in right before applying.

I heard this is embassy specific. Can anyone give more details on what embassy I should go to?

Considering between HCMC (most convenient) or London (less convenient but I heard the most lenient on this)

Other embassies also open to going!

Thank you

My wife is a student at Bangkok International University. She has a non-immigrant ED Plus visa. From what I've read online, that should make me, her husband, eligible for a Non-Immigrant "O" (Dependent) visa. I asked the university but they weren't helpful and said I should check with Pathumthani Immigration Office to get details. I've called, but I only ever get Thai speakers, and emails and messages to them have remained unanswered. Can someone confirm if this is indeed possible, and perhaps kindly point me to where I can find the application steps and requirements?

Side question: I've scanned the boards here and see that proof of money in a bank account needs to STAY in the account for 2 months before it can be proof of financial stability, is that also true for this case? Thanks for any help.

Edit: People who have real documents but want to try by themselves. Please read this. I went to embassy and learnt 500k should be in account for 3 months or should be stable. Not ok with ending balance 500k even though it is your real money.

I have just got rejected mail in Hanoi. I believe I attached every documents. I have sent the clarification email and am waiting for the reply.

1. Myanmar Nationality

2. Australia based company

3. Submitted company registration, employment contract, remote permission, Company profile, resume, portfolio link, cover letter indicating that I am not working for Thailand company, payslips 3 months, Wise transfer email, Company website.

4. Vietnam Entry Stamp, Hotel booking

5. Bank statement 6 months with Ending balance 500k

My question is should I resubmit in Hanoi or better apply in HCMC?

Question regarding the required documents for a non-O retirement extension: I've read in some comments that a one-year detailed statement printed from your bank is required. Is this only for the 65k monthly income method, or also needed for the 800k proof of funds?

Last year I provided the original and a copy of all passbook pages, and it was accepted. (800k method, CW office)

Can anyone tell me if the Phuket Immigration requires a 6 month or 12 month Bank statement for a Non-O visa extension?

Hi all,

I have 2 questions:

1: Im currently on an ED Visa, which runs out end of Juli. Does that influence. my application procedure?

2: My bank account does not have the required 500K baht for 3 months (only 2) does this matter?

3: I read this on a thai embassy website: **All supporting materials that are issued outside of Thailand and the US must be accompanied by certified English translations and notarized by an Embassy/Consulate or Ministry of Foreign Affairs only*

^ does anybody know the specifics on this?

Can you apply for a marriage visa from outside the country, and if so, how do you obtain the necessary bank statement (etc.) without being there in person?
