As long as the immigration officer doesn’t think you are trying to live here

Did you merge documents together? You can only upload one document per link/request. If you upload a second document (e.g. 8,000 checking account after uploading 40,000 in another account) only the second upload would be saved.

Don’t think there is anything you can do. How did you lose your passport and receive a new one all after submitting e-visa but before getting the visa approved?

@Nicole *******

You mentioned Thai residency, but I don’t think you would qualify for any visa that would lead to that. Your best option is the DTV visa, which is a five year visa, but you have to exit and re-enter every 6 months (180 days). You either need to work online/remote, sign up for a course like Thai cooking or receive medical services in Thailand. You also need about 16k usd in your bank account

on your 90 day report?

Regardless of visa, you have to report every 90 days

@Callum ******

I also took the op to be saying it was their first entry on DTV, not their first entry ever

@Callum ******

What visa did you come on for your first visit? I have entered Thailand well over 150 times since 2016, on visa exempt, non immigrant and DTV. Never been asked to prove funds. Before 2016, went through immigration 10ish times from 2005 to 2016

You have to think about the reason why they want you to have 500k. I believe they want you to have a “safety net” in case things go drastically wrong.
