as long as you can prove that the account is in your name, for the DTV application the bank account can be anywhere, not need to be in your home country. And it needs to show a minimum of 500,000 THB equivalent in any currency. Some embassies want to see a seasoning of 3 months, some others want to see 6 months account balance statements, some others just want to see the money in the account on the day of application

@Elías *******

that's right, you just have to show it in your bank account. However, some embassies want to see a seasoning of 3 months, some others want to see 6 months account balance statements

Kevin Mason . . . It is a similar situation with a Non-Imm-O/A visa

*** it comes with a multi re-entry permit in the first year of the visa validity

That’s why you just cannot get it cancelled by simply exiting Thailand before the visa validity hasn’t expired

You would have to wait until the visa validity has expired. After that date, you have no more re-entry permit, so any stay permit that was stamped beyond this date, will become invalid upon exiting Thailand, and only at this point you are free to apply for another visa

*** It is exactly the same situation with the DTV, with the only difference that its visa validity is 5 years compared to the 1-year visa validity of a Non-O/A visa

that could be very difficult, because the DTV visa validity is 5 years and it is multi re-entry included, which means that you just cannot invalidate it by exiting Thailand without a re-entry permit - you got one that is valid for 5 years as well! You need to be off a visa, or off a stay permit, in order to apply for another visa. You can ask your Immigration if they are willing to cancel your DTV or the re-entry permit that goes with it

@Paul ********

for the 90-days Non-Imm-O Retirement visa it is 800,000 THB deposit minimum. For the DTV it is 500,000 THB or equivalent in another currency deposit minimum
