wrong how? He said he had a valid ED with multiple re entry permit. This means education visa with multiple entry right? Obviously getting the DTV would cancel the Ed visa. But if the DTV wasn’t approved, wouldn’t the edu visa still be valid then?

Nice ! So your ed visa was still technically valid for you to come back in on right? I am currently on edu visa, was thinking to leave (thus ending the visa) and coming back with DTV but now considering to do a re-entry just in case 🤔

Probably won’t do it because I’m anticipating success with the DTV

About point #2, do you know if you must maintain a balance of 500k baht or it must currently be 500k baht at the time that you apply?

I don’t normally keep 500k baht in a single account, but my income would definitely be satisfactory so I’m wondering if 500k at time of applying along with the history of decent income is fine?

@Kieran ******

they might want you to notarize the document with the embassy. I don’t think the embassy could verify this easier, but simply paying for a notary service probably makes it seem more legit.. I also think it adds a level of legal protection for Thailand against you so if for some reason you can’t support yourself they can point the finger at your country and say “hey you notarized this document saying he makes money why is he XYZ issue?”

Also one other idea is the simple request of a notary service adds a logistical and financial step to weed out those that can’t handle it (and thus might not be able to handle living in Thailand) AND those that were lying (they are afraid to go to their country’s embassy to notarize documents).

I don’t know tho. I’m not an expert just pure random speculation here.

curious for an update also

Any update about the destination Thailand visa? Is this finally working?
