For someone on the DTV and having a spouse and children covered under the same visa, did each person have to have the income requirement in the bank

In our case that would be 4 times the amount

Today we went to Saraburi Immigration Office to apply for my 1 year extension of stay on a Non-Immigrant O " Retirement" Visa as being over 50 years old in the bottom.

Their handouts about the requirements I asked about before did not quite add up to the ones we got when we came there.

Believe me we were prepared, my income letter from Swedish Embassy was worthless proving more income/pension than 65 000 baht per month , officer told me to instead open a bank account and start transfer 65k every month to get my extension.

Officer asked us to come back on 14th November and to get an update on my account and bank book and also to bring a certificate from the bank the day before.

The officer also asked about copies of my girlfriends rental agreement, we was prepared for that, but they also put like a postal stamp on it and told us to get copies of it, which our Immigration office do not offer so need go to fix nearby.

We brought everything from the landlord that was requested on the handouts in the first place, with copies.

Well it's only to do what the officer say so we head down to Kasikorn Bank to open an account.

Was no problem, they needed my passport, a letter from Immigration that I need a bank account (not an ordinary residence certificate document) for my extension and that I have a Thai phone number (sim card) connected to my passport, which we did before go to the bank, plus documents from girlfriends landlord that they owe the building we rent our apartment in.

OBS, this is only Saraburi offices rules of today.

Sorry for a long one.

Hey, been in Thailand on a retirement visa approaching 15 months, what documents do I need for renewal and I’m after the 65000 baht a month so I can access the 800000 baht. I am Australian.

I’ve just had this from Hanoi embassy asking for proof of income for my business. It’s registered but yet to have income from yet.

I do have a full portfolio of work eg. YouTube videos, courses, website etc

Anyone had this issues with proving income?

DTV holders: Did you have to pay the visa fee for you and your dependent, AND pay meet 2x the income requirement? Just want to verify/hear you alls experience.

I have question regarding Marriage Visa Extension based on Income. I understand that to get 1 year marriage visa extension you either need to bank 400,000 THB, or have a monthly income of 40,000 THB. I work remotely for my US employer, hence do not have a Thai work permit, but I do pay personal income taxes in Thailand on my income. Is it feasible for me to get the extension based on monthly income? Or getting an extension based on income is only possible if you work for a thai company and have a work permit?

The reason I want to go with the income route is because I think having 400,000 THB in an index fund will be more beneficial for me rather than let it rot in a Thai Bank.

Has anyone applied for and received a DTV as a creative (ie, artist, writer, artisan, musician, etc)? I'm actually attempting to spend extended time in Thailand to pursue a career change from healthcare but I don't have any particularly recent projects to show and my resume would just reflect my healthcare background and education for which I do not have a remote job lined up.

I have published a children's book in the past. I do have my own registered LLC as just my name in my home state.

I could *create* a position as I did work remotely before. I plan to apply at the hcmc consulate if that helps.

Ill be applying for another 12 month extension in december. Non o based on marriage.

This time i want to use the monthly income (40k) instead to the 400,000 in thai bank ( 2 months).

Does anyone know what docs are required required for this method. And how many months pay do i need to show. Thai work permit. Working for thai company British passport. Phuket office.

Hi guys,

Is it mandatory to show the monthly income, or is it enough to just show the 500k as a bank statement?

i would apply in vietnam embassy!!!

I work for the family company, I don't have a salary o income from this job now, I have other income from other business!!

Hello. I am currently on a non-O multiple entry visa based on marriage to a Thai (issued before Savannahkhet changed the requirements regarding 400K in the bank). My question is, if I want to apply for a 1-year extension using the 40K per month income method, can I do that before my current visa expires or do I first have to extend using 400K in the bank and then after a year switch to the monthly income method. I'm unclear on this. Thank you.
