I will certainly appreciate your helpful insight ! 🙏🙏 As an American citizen, I plan to apply for O-X visa from Europe, the Thai embassy in France tells me that it would be difficult, if not impossible, because it requires a bank account in Thailand with a Thai bank. And hence, they suggest me first apply for one-year visa with multiple entries, open a bank account in Thailand and afterwards, apply for O-X visa.

However, someone in this group shared earlier that he applied for DTV visa from Vietnam and his foreign bank account worked. And a visa agency in Taiwan tells me a bank account from Taiwan would work. (I'm also a Taiwan citizen)

I need some insights on this, especially as the Thai embassy reminds me that if I fail to submit the exact documents, the *€*350 fee isn't refundable. (the staff is patient with my concerns and super friendly 😃)

Thank you ! 🙏🙏

We have a question. Maybe someone can help. We will be in Thailand in 2 weeks under a tourist visa. We will be doing the 30 day extension. We are renting a villa for a year. We want to get the retirement visa or the non O immigrant visa. What do we need to do before we get there and once we get there? How do we go about getting the visa? Any advice is helpful.

I have a question about the DTV visa in Thailand. I want to apply for it. I've been in Thailand in February. I left to do a border run in Malaysia and then I came back and I have been training Muay Thai in Chiang Mai for the past month. I just left again on July 4th to meet my parents in Sicily and then I'm supposed to fly back the 19th. I talked to my coach. He told me to go to Bali to fill out for the DTV visa. My question is about the 500k baht. I have a Vanguard account that's had over 11,000 usd in it within the past three months and now I just went ahead and completed it and put the 15,000 USD which is the 500,000 baht. Will that be acceptable or do they need to see that 500k bot in my account for more than three months? My coach’s is filling out the proper paperwork for my dtv visa through Muay Thai. I also have 55k USD in my 401k on my vanguard but I’m not sure if that matters. I know have 17580 usd in my vanguard account now. This is not a 401k. Also where is the best place and fastest to apply for the dtv visa. I fly out the 19th and do not have a flight out yet so figuring out my next move to apply for this

Can I show Fiverr income to apply DTV?

Hello,

I got my non o visa based on marriage on the thai e-visa website via London UK.

I’m so very happy about this and also grateful from all the feedback I have had from you all to help me.

Thank you to you all.

My visa says it’s valid from July 13th to October 10th 2025.

And it’s got me thinking.

I planned to return on September 25th 2025 at the end of my season for several months.

However I thinking of a quick trip earlier as I’ve mentioned in my previous posts I work in the tourism industry which is very slow in the UK with sales down this year.

Hence I have no work from July 30th to August 17th 2025.

And I have already booked flights to return at the end of the season to enter Thailand on September 25th 2025 to stay for 6-7 months.

Can I do the following as I don’t want to wait in London without work for 17 days from July 31st to mid August & I’d rather be with my wife.

Fly to Thailand entering on July 31st 2025 for 2 weeks of August.

Apply for my visa extension in those first 2 weeks of August.

Then fly back to the UK to work with a reentry permit.

And return to Thailand entering on September 25th 2025 for my long stay.

When do I have to season the 400,000baht in a thai bank account?

(I already have an SCB bank account now)

Is it on the day I plan to I arrive back August 31st?

Or should it be before that in my case?

Also an extra question after I arrive back on September 25th 2025 can I use another re-entry permit to visit my mother who has been unwell in Australia in mid October as it is her and my birthday then?

Is any of this possible?

Thank you so much 🙏

Hi, I need help and suggestions for applying dtv for the first time from Spain. I only have 500k THB in my business account and I don’t have any movement in the past 6 months in my personal account at all and the amount is only 10€ that I have in my personal account.

I’m not sure if there’s any option to apply for this? Like using sponsor account? without having to wait for another 6 month to build my personal account.

Thanks :)
