You are in the US. Move it and apply. They have not required seasoning of the money in the US. Put it in an account and ask the bank for a statement or print out a page with your name, date, bank name and balance from the bank. Make sure it's only in your name. Good luck

Make sure you have the print out of your visa. Either the PDF copy or the sticker in your passport depending where you filed. Enter and leave as you wish as often as you want. Don't stay in country longer than 180 days. No re-entry stamp required.

@Marks ********

No. Staying past 180 days and getting another 180 from local immigration office.

@David *******

Yes. And that has what to do with extention requirements?

@David *******

We will see about that.

At the present moment you can bounce in and out without issue. Extention may be another story but time will tell.

This is Thailand and anything can change or be interpreted in many ways that no one would ever think.

@Tod ********

I don't think Americans realize how easy it is compared to other locations around the world. It may take up to 4 weeks for approval but some of the posts I have seen are people approved for the sketchiest reasons.

@Terrence ************

Only a small percentage. Like those that are able to open an account without an agent

@Joel ******

The issue I have seen is it depends what location you are filing in. In the US it has been straight forward. In other areas local to Thailand they have made the process a bit more complicated adding their own requirements.

The DTV requirements are to prove you have 500k baht. It doesn't say you had to have it for the past week, month, or year. It's in a personal account in your name only and that should be good to go. You can always tell them something like you cashed in some stocks to get the money.

Good luck.

Why are you tray to "prove I am making money"? You have to show money in the bank. Thats the requirement. There is no requirement to prove any level of monthly income.
