I applied in Jakarta with a 6-month statement which only had 500k in at the end of the period. So “30 days” I guess would be the best match in your setup in the OP.

Anonymous participant if you think it would be useful, then the first step would be to get the ball rolling by setting it up. You might also find you get more cooperation if you lose the anonymity.

Anonymous participant 958 it wouldn’t be “America” asking, it would be the airline. They check that travellers meet the entry requirements for the destination country because they’re liable to return passengers who do not meet them. It’s a good question. Might be worth printing out official DTV entry requirements for Thailand? Or you could just buy a flight on Expedia and make sure to cancel it for free within 24 hours.

this theory seems to contradict other accounts, deeming it necessarily “gray”.

@Christian ******

thanks, it seems like a grey area. I’m currently in Asia, so I’ll probably spring for a flight into Thailand before heading home for the summer to be safe.

the guy is 67 years old. Not everyone from that era knows how to “do research”. Good on him for having the wherewithal to join a Facebook group that’s dedicated to answering his questions.

why would you pay an agent for a retirement visa?

Analysts I listen to think the DXY may have peaked, at least in the near term. Speaking of Baht specifically, I tend to agree with the person who said it tends to appreciate towards high season, but that’s just anecdotal, and just based on my experience over the past couple of years.

Unless you need the baht immediately, I’m a fan of DCA’ing. Wise doesn’t have very high fixed fees, so there’s little advantage to do it in bulk.
