Most of the consulates in the US want 3 months of statements but only care what the balance is in the most recent month for the DTV. You'll need the money in an actual bank account though.

Also, forget about Thai citizenship or even permanent residence. Not going to happen.

then you're out of luck. Unless you can order a new debit card from the app or the call center, you're not going to have any option except going into the bank.

You're doing it yourself either way. They are both forms you fill in.

What visa? Applied for from where? Money in what bank? You have to give information if you want to get an answer

You can ALWAYS be asked for proof of onward travel when entering visa exempt. It's a requirement for that entry type. Whether it's your first entry or your 10th.

It's not common to be asked by immigration, unless they are looking for a reason to cause trouble for you.

2nd entry in 12 months isn't much information. That could mean your last entry was a year ago, or 3 months ago. Those are not the same for your chances.

It's much more common for your airline to require this as part of your check-in though.

There's a crackdown on SOMETHING every month. Enough for a couple headlines and a photo. Then onto the next after a few weeks.

Nothing ever actually gets cleaned up though.

1) you have no choice. They cannot apply for theirs until you already have yours.

Do you have the 90 day non-O visa or the 1 year non-OA visa? Because you're asking questions that make it seem like you have the 90 day non-O visa.
Brandon ************
There's no such thing as a 1 year non-O. Non-O visas are all 90 days.

If you want more time than that, you go to your immigration office and ask them for their list of requirements to apply for the 1-year extension. Then you apply for the extension based on their list of requirements. Then you can purchase a re-entry permit for the extension. You would have to extend every year. Likely by showing 800,000 baht a bank account in Thailand.

It's an arrival card. If you are arriving in Thailand, you need to file one every time.
