Consider retirement visa as well has savings requirement and or monthly income 800k baht / baht monthly or combination of the two along with accepted health insurance as well.

Contact embassy to get new passport they should be able to assist him with this issue may still have a fine to pay but hopefully not a ban. A full pass port book is always an issue

Anonymous participant 424 actually there is if you extend the DTV they require it. People have been asked to prove the funds on re-enter its rare but happens

@Sean ******

yea I know even cooler for the guy I know who's DTV was canceled cause he didnt have the funds on re-entry when asked to Provide proof of funds in accessible account, he is now doing the process all over again

@Sean ******

didnt say I did or dont perhaps not being a troll too much. Im only saying this cause I know 2 people who didnt have the funds accessible as when they applied while re-entering and was denied entry had to leave and start the process all over again. One doesnt have the funds cause they spent it on buying and investing

@James *******

yeah see i know 2 people who ran into this issue and one currently in Vietnam waiting for the process all over again for their DTV. I just love how you peoole are "ive not seen it so it isnt true" mentality.

@Wannikea ********

ok think that all you wish make that mistake if you want but I wouldnt take the risk, granted its rare but still happens just depends on the IO. I had other people tell me the same thing when I told them the visa runs for exempt was being stopped and then it happened to the same people who said the same thing you did. 🙃

@John ********

i know 2 people personally

@James *******

as I said its not 100% but it happens why I said better safe then sorry. It happens as often as airline staff asks for onward trip or return ticket

Savings or checking as long as its not in property or investments.

I would recommend a savings account you do not touch while you have the DTV. People are being asked upon re-entry on DTV to prove they have the savings requirement avaible, fail to have it they will deny entry and cancel your DTV.

This isnt 100% it depends on the IO Better safe then sorry
