How can I prove that my savings for a NON-O visa extension in Thailand came from overseas?

Darren *********

You cannot bring the cash. It has to show from the bank as a foreign transfer.

Do I need to stay in Thailand while applying for a DTV visa?

Darren *********

You can leave. But you are taking a chance. They can ask you to come in any time up until a final decision is made. And if you are gone you will lose your fee and have to start over. Most places it is less than 2 weeks to get a decision.

When does the 12-month extension for a Non O visa begin: from approval date or expiration of the initial visa?

Darren *********

@Peter ***************

so how is 1 year + 89 days not 15 months? Not worth it, but it is nice when basically scream, “please block me I’m a pedantic idiot.”

@Peter ***************

so your YEAR extension ends after 89 days? And you have done the initial extension 8 times? Maybe you should read your comment to see if it makes sense before posting.

Darren *********

It is added to the end of your visa. Extending it if you will, that is why people say the initial o visa + extension is 15 months.

Does the DTV visa qualify for keeping a Thai bank account?

Darren *********

It isn’t long term, but has worked for some people to keep their account. So like everything it all depends on who you are talking to and what kind of day they are having.

Can I get a new 2-month visa stamp if I return to Thailand after leaving for 5 days?

Darren *********

If you have an actual multi entry visa you will be fine. If you are on visa exempt you might have issues.
