They do a check most likely via a request.

Criminal Record in Thailand

@Greg *******

With all visas though they check your history of entry to the country and if you have a criminal record there. Taipei was same day approval and within 6 hours often. They would need instant access to immigration history.

She wondered why I had so many short visits and transits for many years from Tokyo. I said cos it is half the cost with Thai Airways to travel via Bangkok to London than a direct flight. She smiled and said she understood. She was from Thailand and made the final decisions on approvals there. Immigration and the embassy are going to be sharing info.

In Taipei, when I had my interview the Thai officer had access to my history of visits. Had a printout to hand.

Congrats on your DTV. Derry has a good rep for DTV applications . Where did you stay in Jakarta? I have been several times as part of longer trips in Indonesia. would not say it was boring, there are good day trips you can make from there.

Anonymous participant if they ask for the tax returns then submit. Focus on the bus registration, portfolio statements plus letter giving yourself permission to work remotely in Thailand.

Anonymous participant No I would not add stocks portfolio. You have the 500K so you meet the financial criteria. Showing more than the 500k to your bank balance will be better than adding stock portfolio.

No it is not mandatory, the main financial is tjhe 500k in a personal bank account. There is no minimum income requirement..

Your previous stays will not impact your application, use them to highlight your motivation to stay longer in Thailand via the DTV.
