@Dave ****

Provided they meet the criteria there's no reason a DTV will be cancelled. And let's face it, the criteria is hardly insurmountable

@Greg *******

It's been mentioned heaps of times in other groups and hence a lot of misinformation being spread. Every possibility immigration will expect the 500k to be in a Thai bank account. Immigration has NEVER accepted funds overseas. However, with the bounce, extremely unlikely as borders do not really have the facility to scroll through bank books and account statements. I'm guessing most DTV holders will be bouncing every 180 days

He was leaving on exempt and re-entering on exempt

Changed about two weeks ago

A friend went to Mukdahan/Savannaket last week. Had to spend two days in Savannaket. New Thai immigration requirement

@Claire ******

It's been around for years. It's a safety valve for Thai immigration if they want to deny entry to someone.

Yeah not quite sure why you're telling me this, but I'm sure you've got it covered ! 😂😂😂

@Ken **********

When I did the OA there was no insurance. Used to be able to get a useless policy for 7700 baht which satisfied the OA requirement, I don't know if it's still available. Sure beats tying up 800k for a year or more

@Ken **********

I switched from OA which didn't require 800k in Thailand, but during the second "free" year of the OA I did the 65k transfers so I was able to get the 90-day visa in Bangkok and the subsequent 12-month extension. Seems to be the best way to avoid the 800k lump sum

You need 12 months of 65k transfers to qualify
