DTV visa approved in Hanoi - Self-employed digital graphic designer (also day trading but thought to not mentioned it and apply with the simplestt option)

They will move to E-visa (may take longer to approve) but hope this post will help you regarding the docuemets anyways

* The funds was deposited into Krungthai bank same day as printing out bank statement (*2 days before appointment*) - the bank was opened in May, so it wasn't 6 months statement but also submitted Revolut along with it - The staff asked to open Krungthai bank app to show her the 500K is still in there the day of my appointment

* Got the bank certificate + notarized from the bank just in case (200Baht)

* Been in Thailand already almost 2 years- 1st year tourist + boarder run - 2nd year non-Ed

Document

1. Cover letter - mentioned self-employed - approximate income monthly- ability to work remote - keen interest to be staying in Thailand while working

2. 3 quotations + 3 invoices + 3 paid slips from the past work

3. 3 letter verification of services from last 3 customers (matching with customers from No.2)

4. Upwork earning certificate

5. Portfolio (my website + CV+Upwork profile screenshot) - 10 pages total

6. Letter of relationship and financial support from my parents (don't forget to show birth certificate showing they're your parents - I forgot but the staff was ok with it)

7. Bank statements (Krungthai - 500K- daily spending transactions (May-Sep) + Revolut - 2 transactions/ month (March - Sep)

8. Condo rent contract in Thailand + The owner Thai ID card + Tha bien ban

* Total of 55-60 pages of paper

* Try to be patient when submitting the paper work. Don't speak if they didn't ask - organize the pages according to their document requirement from A-Z.

Try to make everything easier for them, they will appreciate it. They deal with a lot of nonsense and people who showed up unprepared all day. I can't image the stress they faced on the daily basis. Be calm and be respectful, and they were very nice back to us.

* They speak perfect English

* Submitted on Monday 23 September -went to pick up passport 26 afternoon (the email came eventually but I already went to pick up my passport before that)

Thank you for everyone's info and answer from this group.

If you have any questions, I can try my best to answer.

Hi, I’m living in Bangkok on a retirement visa keeping the required THB funds in an account with Krungthai bank. I am considering opening an interest bearing savings account with Bangkok Bank but am concerned whether having my required funds split across two banks, including a fixed interest account, will present an issue with my visa renewal next year?

One requirement for any long term VISA seems to be a bank account. I understand this can be difficult, and different banks and branches, depending on location, may impose different requirements. To anyone who has recently opened one, what are some things they are requiring now? Which bank was it? Are there any banks I should avoid completely? Thanks everyone!!

Hi guys and gals. Hope you are all well.

I use the combined method of income and small balance in Thai bank for my retirement visa. Around 750k per year income and a floating 100k per year in Krungthai. My income is from my Superannuation fund.

My question is.

Does the approval go on the previous 12 months financial history ? Or is it based on what you present as funds from home for the next 12 months ?

Reason being for my question is …. I have enough in my Super to get me through to December… at which time my Australian pension will kick in. But I am unable to substantiate the forthcoming Australian pension with a document saying so.

I’m guessing that the answer will be … may vary to the scrutiny of which officer or office.

Just preparing for renewal next Thursday 21st April.

I am on retirement visa (over 60) and have been here 5 years. Thinking of changing to marriage visa (been married 3 years) which is a simple process and I understand the difference in the 800k and 400k. I am with Krungthai currently.

Is it feasible to open a "secondary" bank account either with Krungthai or even another Bank and deposit 400k in it and just leave it there permanently for the purpose of IO financials every year even though there would be no "in or out" activity on that account ?

So just back from trying to open an account at KrungThai for my 400,000 future spousal visa requirement ... no go after almost 2 hours , was informed I needed a certification stamp on my statements which the US embassy no longer does, and I have been a customer of that branch with a joint acct with my thai wife for over 4 years and had well over 600,000 in the act, the branch mgr wanted to ok the new acct in my name but another person mentioned she should check with the main office in BKK as she had heard the rule had changed , so she called right in front of me and was told about the need for certification of retirement statements from the US government, which not some thing the US government does, so I took out 400,000 cash which she was not happy to see leave, and all future deposits of course, and went up the street, and took the exact same paper work to a Bangkok Bank branch where I had never been a customer and 20 mins later had made the deposit and had a stamped bank book in my name and a working ATM card in hand. So completed my first step towards a spousal visa for next year
