I am planning to go to Taipei in early October and apply for DTV.

I can prepare any period of bank statements that were three months or six months,but the problem is a few weeks ago, I put over 500,000baht in my account.

So if they ask for a month's bank statement, it will be fine but

If they ask for three or six months bank statement over 500000 bath for the whole period,

then I will give up going to Taiwan

I emailed the consulate in Taipei two days ago, but they did not answer exactly how many months of bank statement is needed,

they just answered if the documents are insufficient, they can request additional documents after review.

I'm really confused because I don't know exactly whether the 1 month bank statement over 500000 baht is sufficient or not

Does anyone know which embassy close to thailand needs to see the shortest amount of bank statements? I divested from other things and put 500k into a thai account, but don't want to leave it there not making any returns longer then needed?

Hi all! I have a question for you, I applied for the DTV visa which one of the requirements was to have 500k baht liquidity, so I attached the document the bank statement in which I certified that I have € 13,577 where on the day I applied 500k baht were worth € 13,545, my concern is that between yesterday and today 500k baht are now worth € 13,600 so it exceeds the threshold of my bank statement, my question is: could this thing cause my visa to be rejected? Thanks a lot!

Hi, my dear community,

Got a 5-year DTV visa for Thailand (digital nomad/freelancer). Applied in Penang after trying in Kuala Lumpur. Penang had more knowledgeable people who knew about freelancing.

Good luck, everyone! You deserve it, and you're an asset to any country's economy if you go there.

I just applied at the embassy in Hanoi, and the woman at the counter said my bank statements might not be accepted

She said other peoples bank statements show lots of transactions. But because my money was in a savings account for ages - and because I only get statements for that account every six months - the bank statement only showed when there was a transaction... which only happened once in august

I had to write a quick letter explaining that it was an official bank statement. And that the lack of activity is because it's not a current account

Just wondering if anyone else has had something similar? and what they did about it?

I got on the phone to my bank (halifax, UK) and they basically said there's nothing else they can provide other than the bank statement itself

Hi everyone, will fly to Taipei next week. I just want to make a recap of what i’ll need with me for DTV:

- Employment letter

- Employer authorization to work remotely from Thailand, stating that i won’t work illegally in thailand and have Thai clients.

- 6 months Bank statement with 500k minimum (I had it for all the 6 months). I guess I’ll have to print it? Or can I give them a PDF copy?

- Passport pictures

Am I missing anything else ?

Thankss

Some have claimed that Filipinos are not accepted in Phnom Penh, which is not true if you submit all the important documents, then you will also be accepted. See picture. It is true that in Phnom Penh a lot of applicants have been rejected recently. But we submitted all the papers and were approved.

Hi All! This thread has been super helpful so far, so I wonder if anyone has any insight! Background: I'm a Canadian citizen who works remotely, but my banking is with a UK bank since I lived and worked there for the last few years. My freelance work is paid to my UK account.

Does anyone know if the bank statement needs to be in your home country, or do you have to prove residence in the country where your banking is?

Also, this may be a silly question, but is it possible to apply outside your home country? I am a professional traveller looking to make Thailand my home in the next while, but I am not planning on going back to Canada soon unless I need to get this visa.

Thanks all!

Has anyone submit for spouse and dependants on DTV in Taipei? Just wondering if we can submit the same day as the DTV holder or do we wait until the next day upon approval? trying to plan accordingly to book flights. Thank you in advance🙏

I have an appointment in 2 weeks to apply for my DTV in Ho Chi Minh. I have a couple questions and I would greatly appreciate the advice!

1) I have found from some snooping on this group that I will need to show a bank statement of THB 500k from the past 6 months but that it does not have to be the full amount. I have made the final deposit today to finally hit the 500k but I was only able to open this bank account back in mid May which was 5 months ago. Would that be an issue? I also plan to show a 6 month statement from my other bank account which has roughly around $7000 USD to date. Would this also be supplemental to the app?

2) Do I also need to show a return ticket or something that says I will leave Thailand again when re-entering BKK after Ho Chi Minh?

3) My CONFIRMED appointment date is October 2nd but I keep seeing that they will be switching over to the e-visa system in October but since I was able to get the confirmed appointment, I will just assume that the in-person application is still allowed?

I am stressing a bit about this so any peace of mind would be nice to have 😩😩

Thank you!!
