There seems to be an opinion of all the visa experts that when you apply for the DTV you have to show equivalent of 500k in a bank account for at least six months. Don't know how they know this considering the visa had only been available for a couple of months and I heard differently, that all the Embassies and Consulates are concerned with is that you have these funds in a bank account in your name. Maybe the so called experts are basing their opinion on the likes of 'O' non- immigrant visa extensions for retirement.

Why does needing an agent raise a Red flag? By the way people die everyday and everywhere in the world.

How do you come to the assumption that I don't have the equivalent of 500k? Unlike a lot of expats, but not all, when I'm in Thailand I don't live in a pokey one room, plus wetroom hovel. I stay in a three bedroom, two living room, two kitchen single storey house that has five aircons two metre high perimeter wall with a fifteen foot electronic gate. All paid for by myself over the years. Car & three motorbikes. Plus 9 chihuahuas & a British bulldog. So unlike some of the synical expats that think they run Thailand and consistently ridicule the Thai establishment, which as guests in Thailand, it's none of their business the politics of a country their not even Nationals of. There's a lot of lonely expats in Thailand that need to get a life. Waiting with bated breath now to read all the comments slagging me off 😂😂😂

500,000 isn't enough to live on in Thailand for a year? FFS., considering 20k to 30k a month is about average salaries in Thailand, even 30k only comes to 360,000 a year and you reckon a farang couldn't live on 500,000 baht per year. All depends on circumstances. When I'm in Thailand I can live on a hell of a lot less than that, mind you I don't pay rent or pay for food when I'm there. Only outgoings I have are beer and petrol for car and motorbike, so it's all relative to the individual.
