The daily limit on my kbank was 100kthb, but i could adjust it to 200kthb. The 50kthb per transaction is set due to new financial regulations. My "scan" limit is 5kthb and I could not adjust it.

I found on line, but it looks useful for you

DTV Visa Approved From Australia in 10 Days!

Hopefully this can help someone, I will go through my process.

1. 11:00 pm 20th January Applied for Visa directly through the official [members only]/ website and selected the correct thai embassy for my local Australian region.

2. 10am 21st January "document check pending"

- I sent the same photo as my passport which is a few years old.

they asked for a more recent photo taken within the last 6 months.

Took a quick basic photo with my phone with a white backround.

3. 28th January Status moved to "Pending Approval"

4. 29th January Approved

I own my own Australian company and I am the sole owner.

* Provided a 1 page cover letter explaining what I do in my business and screenshots of business payments such as Stripe and affiliate marketing.

* Provided the official ASIC business company extract current and historical. This was $20 from the government website and outlines who owns the company, who are the shareholders etc.

* I asked my accountant to create me a 6 month income statement showing my earnings from this financial year July 01 2024 - December 31 2024.

* Bank statement showing 500,000 bhat equivalent, I transferred the final 400,000 bhat into my account only hours before applying and showed 3 months of official bank statements where basically the balance was always well below 500,000.

You might consider swapping to the an ext to "support of your Thai child" its pretty much the same documentation, but you need thier birth certificate and see them in the blue book. The beauty of this is the funds only need to be on the day of ext submission, although, there are some reports saying some office's require two months, ypu should check. Also you might be able to extend your current ext with a 60day "to visit or support your Thai wife"

@Graham *****

i think your right

I seem to remember there were "stories" in the news about money laundering and the like.

@Graham *****

i was once asked to confirm the origin of my fund, I showed them a statement. I think this falls into the "they can asked for additional documentation" should they feel inclined. It only happened once about 2 or 3 years ago.

@Pete ******

indeed, however, it was the reporting requirements that was new to me, I've never seen it in writing.

its always worth a call, I had a problem and found out the account names were different, I contact the sending bank and they updated the info and it was processed ok. BKK bank told me they hold on for payments for a few days and if not corrected there sent back.

@Clifford *********

did you contact the receiving bank and ask why?
