What should I do if my DTV visa is stamped for only 90 days instead of 180 days?

Barry ******

Yes if you can find who stamped you in. Otherwise just leave somewhere and come back

Barry ******

You have to slog it back to the border that you entered to have it corrected. Always check your stamp

How long do you need to leave Thailand before returning to get a fresh visa stamp after your 180 days are up?

Barry ******

a rule of thumb, no more than 180 days spent in Thailand per year. So that is 2 exempt entries + 2 extensions.

What documents should I submit when asked for further proof of finances and employment for my visa application in Thailand?

Barry ******

It doesn't matter how much or how little your income is. That isnt a requirement. You just have to show a work portfolio or some sort or resume of your work

Can I extend my DTV visa without an active remote project or should I do a border run?

Barry ******

It doesn't have to be a remote project. But the non remote project cannot be in Thailand obviously

There is a lot of people who do seasonal contract work then have downtime for 6 months. Nice work life balance too

What are the income requirements for DTV approval when operating an ecommerce store in Thailand?

Barry ******

No income requirements. Just proof of having some savings (500,000 baht or the equivalent) and some money coming in.

Ultimately the decision is made by a consular officer.

What recent changes are affecting the process of opening bank accounts in Thailand?

Barry ******

Well thats one way. And also real estate is a nice vehicle for building passive income over a long period of time.

The barrier of entry is low, and you also provide jobs to local Thai people managing the property.

Banks want to see stability and someone who has long term goals that align

Barry ******

220 baht is a fortune? Way to exaggerate things.

A bank will likely tell you to go away if that was the reason for opening a bank account.

They want to see a compelling reason for it or have some kickback money from an agent.

Barry ******

yes and you can open one if you have documented proof acceptable to the bank that you intend to live in Thailand. A real estate sales contract will 100% do this, as you need one to facilitate the title transfer and for paying land taxes
