Does having two Thai bank accounts with a total of 80k baht monthly qualify for the retirement visa requirement?
Tyler *******
No — for the retirement extension, immigration requires the 65,000 THB/month to be deposited into the same Thai bank account each month from abroad. Splitting it between two accounts (50k + 30k) won’t meet the rule unless you consolidate into one account before the monthly deposit deadline.

What was the experience like for the fourth entry on a DTV visa at DMK Airport?
Tyler *******
Thanks so much for sharing this—it’s reassuring to hear how things played out, especially after a long wait at immigration. I’ll be arriving in September on the DTV as well (first time using it), so hearing that it went smoothly for you—even without showing the TDAC—is really helpful. Appreciate you posting the details!

Is 2 million THB in savings sufficient for a work action/DTV visa application in Thailand?
Tyler *******
The amounts are fine, however, it may depend on how many months of deposits you have and how long the 2mil has been in your account.
