This is an excellent video answering a lot of DTV questions. Very interesting and useful info. More people need to see this video so with the creator's permission I'm giving the link.

If I am on the DTV; in 180 days would I have to submit all the same paperwork as before? Or do a border run every 150 days and just get restamped?

I am planning to go to Taipei in early October and apply for DTV.

I can prepare any period of bank statements that were three months or six months,but the problem is a few weeks ago, I put over 500,000baht in my account.

So if they ask for a month's bank statement, it will be fine but

If they ask for three or six months bank statement over 500000 bath for the whole period,

then I will give up going to Taiwan

I emailed the consulate in Taipei two days ago, but they did not answer exactly how many months of bank statement is needed,

they just answered if the documents are insufficient, they can request additional documents after review.

I'm really confused because I don't know exactly whether the 1 month bank statement over 500000 baht is sufficient or not

Hi!

We came to Thailand on visa exemption and need to do 30 day extension. Our last day of visa is 17 of April, we were planning to go to immigration tomorrow for extension, but I see in their website it will be closed from tomorrow till 17th of April. Can we do extension on the last day of our visa? What can we do in this case? Somehow did not think of holidays…

We are in Bangkok.

Found this article. Take it for what it's worth.

Hi guys, heading to Philippines next month (from the US) and then to Bangkok for a week. I’m a US citizen. Other than a valid passport and a confirmed hotel reservation in Bangkok, is there anything else I may need to enter Thailand?

Thanks a lot - hope this trip works out.

Is it possible to apply for another 30 days extend from the 45 days tourist visa? My 4 month old baby son living in Bangkok with my wife (we are all foreigners), so I have heard that I can get extend another 30 days provided the reason that l'm visiting for taking care the baby. But it's an unverified information. Very appreciate if anyone can verify this for me

Just joined the group so apologies if these questions have been answered before. Appreciate the input.

1. Is it possible to convert from a tourist visa to a retirement visa if I already have 800K in the bank for two months -- I was told that I could do this by the Govt Contact Center and also the reception info officer at Imm. at cheangwattana. However, the Royal Thai Embassy website says different, that you need a Non-Imm. O to do so.

Hoping to convert without having to leave the country -- and not need all the extra expense of health insurances...etc.if applying from abroad..

2. If one gets a 60day tourist visa to come in, is it possible to get the 30 day extension on this ? Or would it just be easier to enter and get the 45 days and the 30 days on top of that?

Thanks for your input and advice.

w/ ED visa, you pay in full? OR deposit then once eligibility's confirmed you pay all
