No. My bank card expired and they replaced it no problem even though I'm on a DTV. They looked at my passport as well so they definitely knew.

Anonymous participant "I'm transferring 50k Can to bank today.". How come so much? 500K THB is only around $21K CAD. I just provided by last Canadian bank statement when I successfully applied last summer. No money transfers required.

I was approved within a couple of hours by the Vancouver consulate end of last July. For workcation. Just had to provide my last Tangerine bank statement.

petmaak The bank staff have a big party. :)

@Greg *******

So you finally got a DTV or still thinking about it? :)

Anonymous participant 534 Ask your friends. If you are in a city there will be a place that does this.

I didn't need to transfer any money to Thailand when I got my DTV (Workcation) from Vancouver. I was able to just show I had funds in a Canadian bank account. Also no long visits to immigration just the quick and easy, 90 day reports. This works for us as we are in and out of Thailand enough to not require extensions.

I was just replying to your words: "Nothing significant has changed for non-O visas/extensions.". Over and out chief.

They have stopped allowing the affidavit of income letter for many countries, that meant you didn't have to move 800K to Thailand to get a non-o retirement visa. That was significant and less than 12 years ago. I believe that change was a few years ago for UK, USA and Oz and this year for Canadians.

Apologies OP, this is for future searchers and doesn't answer your question. There is no black and white, yes/no answer to this topic. If you read/search the various online groups and forums it is clear that when arriving on a DTV, sometimes people get asked to show nothing and sometimes they get asked to show everything they used to apply for the visa. People are speculating on why that is but as OP mentions, the bottom line is, it is up to the specific immigration officer's discretion as to what you need to show. We would all love black and white rules on this but Thailand just doesn't work that way. So until Thailand stops being consistently inconsistent, the safest, hassle free bet is to have 500k in your bank account and have all your (updated) DTV application papers with you when you enter. I have never been asked questions on 3 arrivals, 4th tomorrow, but I always have 500K in my bank account when I arrive (not all year round) and all my updated DTV papers.
