DTV workcation, list of requirements for an 180 day Extension of Stay
Robert *******
There are three different purpose why the DTV is issued, and for each purpose is a different list of requirements.

No mix and match. Please enlighten us why you got this DTV.

The 500.000 thb is asked as a kind of insurance, that you are able to pay the bills in case of emergency.

BUT if you think it it better to invest that money and not being able to pay the bills it is your choice.

Be aware that unless you are depending on another DTV person, the 500.000 Thb needs to be in the bank if you like to extend your stay in Thailand.
Robert *******
Thailand introduced the money in the bank as safety net, to bail you out in case of problems.

It must be available as instant withdrawal to pay the bills directly.

Therefor houses,, cars, motorbikes, stocks/shares, condo and even boats, are all not asked for.

No, the Embassy do not allow you to use their computers to apply for a visa.

Did you read the user manual, ir you can not go to the next phase, it simply means you did something wrong according the mandatory fields.

Check again.

The second question on the website gives this pop up

Do not ignore it
Robert *******
Why not read the list of requirements needed at the one and only official web page
***************************


It all goes on-line, flight dates are intended dates, travel history with cars or airplane is not needed.

Follow the guidelines of the web page and the Thai Embassy, do not make up requirements by yourself.
