Hi everyone,

Is it recommended to submit a savings account, without any transactions at all, ans with 19k USD on it for the last three months as proof of the 500k requirement?

The money is accessible all the time.

Thanks

Looking for some information: Since Trump put down the “ no visa “ mandate in January does anyone know what happens to people that were approved before that happened but hadn’t had their embassy interview yet? I’m thinking one of three things might happen;

1. You get the visa and can go to the USA because you were already appointed and the mandate affects people that had not been approved before the mandate

or

2. You get approved for the visa but cannot immigrate until the mandate is lifted

or

3. You are denied and it’s just too bad so sad you’re stuck like chuck. And that sucks. All the time and money wasted.

I haven’t heard about what’s happened to anyone in this process and it would be great if NVC would put out info on the possibilities. The limbo is very frustrating. I’ve heard they go on a case by case basis but more basic info would be helpful.

What is the best way to get low transfer rates from USD or EUR to BAHT? Is Wise a good option, or should I wait to move to Thailand and open a bank account. I have heard opening Thai bank accounts can be difficult.

I keep hearing about an interview.

How does it work? Does everyone have to go for an interview?

Thanks for your help 🙏👍

I have psoriasis (as well as the accompanying psioritic arthritis) and require ongoing dermatology supervision, medications and treatment.

Does anyone know if that will be sufficiently 'serious' to qualify for the ongoing treatment clause for the DTV?

DTV soft power (cooking) w/o income

Hi everyone, since I currently am on a career break with enough savings, I'm thinking of applying for a DTV and a cooking course. I meet the bank balance requirement - but I wonder if it's an issue that I have no income from a job? (I do have USD 1.3k rental income)

Any advice is appreciated.

90 Day Reporting..

Just wanted to ask in here about the 90 day report?

What is needed for me to print and bring on the day? As well as what do I need to request from my landlord?

I will be living in Nonthaburi area. So hopefully the wait times aren't as bad.

Anybody has recent experience with Budapest Embassy? I have submitted my DTV application with all documents for workation. Application was on April 9th and didn't receive any information if anything missing or needed.

Hi everyone!

I’m currently filling out the DTV application and have a quick question.

Since I haven’t received the visa yet, I don’t have flight tickets or a confirmed arrival date. I also don’t have a fixed hotel yet, as I plan to look for long-term accommodation after arrival.

What is the best way to fill in the “arrival date” and “place of stay” sections in this case?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Am I right in interpreting this as saying £11,000 per adult needs to be held in savings? So if adult is on dependent visa, they still need to have £11,000 in addition to the main applicant?

Email from Thai Immigration (UK)

Regarding the DTV for dependents, sponsorship letter is reserved for children under 16 years old only. Dependents under 16 years old are allowed to submit parents' bank statement with the minimum closing balance of £11,000. Please submit the bank statement along with a sponsorship letter from the parent who is the main DTV applicant, his/her passport biodata page, official proof of relationship, and parents' proof of current location (utility bills or a driving license). On the other hand, applicants over 16 years are required to submit their personal financial evidence, showing their name, address, and a minimum closing balance as required by the visa they are applying for.

For further information regarding the DTV requirements, please refer to the details in the email sent on 23 April 2026.

We would appreciate your understanding.

Warm regards,
