What do I need to bring for my first entry into Thailand with a DTV visa?

Chris **********

Take a print out of the DTV as well, just to make things easier for the immigration officer. I've had one that didn't want it, and several others that scanned the QR code on the page. It's not necessary but they seem to prefer it

Will my visa application be rejected if my bank balance was below 500k on the last statement?

Chris **********

In Australia, I sent a screen shot of my bank balance and that was approved. Other embassies have been more stringent from what I've read and are requiring anything from the screenshot to a certified letter from your bank as well as the statement.

Best to ask the embassy your applying to directly what their requirement is

@Greg *******

yes essentially what my neighbor is saying regarding the numbers as well. I think immigration are doing a lot of work in the background modernizing their systems, so maybe we will get official figures soon enough.

I hope it's here to stay as I'm on the DTV myself (from August last year)

@Greg *******

can you point me towards the official source mate, I've struggled to find it. My figures are from a neighbor who works at immigration here in Chiang Mai.

DTV holders are here for 5 years so over that time they would spend more than the average tourist.

at the moment there are no official figures, but it's estimated between 50-

people have successfully applied for the DTV. That's a great number, and a great amount of money coming into Thailand.

Overall the DTV has been successful so I don't think it will be removed entirely. A couple of tweaks may occur, but current DTV holders won't be impacted.

How can I find a reliable agent to assist with my 90-day report in Chiang Mai?

You can always just ask the landlord for the log on details and do the TM30 yourself if you're in a longer term rental, if it works for the owner. I come and go to Singapore a lot so to reduce the burden on my landlord I just do them myself now.
