Basically looking for proof of accommodation be that hotel or condo rental or condo ownership.

Doesn't the dictionary meaning of "hire purchase" mean that the condo is purchased in installments?

Currently, South Korea is implementing the STV visa.

The qualifications for application are as follows, but many Koreans are curious about the regulations. Contact with the embassy is very difficult.

Does this mean i can just rent/lease a condo OR Do i have to pay for the condo in installments?

Just rent? lease? or buy condo?

Why do I need a 60days tourist visa with a deposit certificate of 500,000 baht maintained for 6 months?

It's crazy.

No tourist in their right mind would even consider travelling  to Thailand,

with these ridiculous requirements in place - especially the 500k balance.

 

 

Who is taking 500,000 baht each for a trip to Thailand? I can't understand.

You can't contact the Thai Embassy in Seoul? Don't you have a phone? You can email them. I ask again, is the new 60 days tourist Visa available at the Thai Embassy in Seoul? Yes or No? 

No matter how I contact them, I can't reach them.

E mail...

Phone number...

Is the new 60 days tourist visa an option at the Thai Embassy in Seoul? If yes, you can apply for it if you meet the requirements.

Do you mean you have had 500k baht in a bank for 6 months but cannot prove it in Korea?

All you need is a bank statement from any bank or banks to prove the 500k baht.

The bank says that there is no certificate that can prove the balance for 6 months, and there is a certificate that can only prove the balance of the current deposit

Old statements are asked because some would just borrow the money and transfer back after visa is issued.

 

I think so too

You're making a common mistake, this rule it not there to help you come to Thailand, it's to discourage you from coming to Thailand.

uh.... yes :(

How do I prove the balance of 500,000 baht in six months?

I am living in Korea. I have 500,000baht now. But,I have no account balance of 500,000 baht in six months.

To apply for a tourist visa, I need a certificate of 500,000 baht maintained for six months.

However, there is no way to prove the balance for six months in Korea. It is too absurd to prove 500,000 baht to stay in Thailand for about 60 days.

How do you think I use 500,000 baht in Thailand for two months?

It's crazy.

Those are the requirements for the new basic tourist visa that allows the standard 60 day entry that can be extended for the 30 days.

The STV allows a 90 day entry that can be extended for 90 days twice.

Partial list of requirements and procer from the this webpage follow.

The new standard tourist visa is page of the same website. 

 

 

I don't understand why they classified STV visa and normal tourist visa separately.

So I don't need self-quaramtine and insurance to enter Thailand on a regular tourist visa?

I saw the official document below on the website of the Korean Embassy.

But, Attach file is not STV visa.

What's the difference between STV and Tourist visa?

Can tourists other than STV visa go to Thailand now?

5 minutes ago, ubonjoe said:

That may be accepted but it might depend upon how the embassy interprets the STV stay since it allows two 90 day extensions that allows a total stay of 270 days. Perhaps having ticket out of the country within 90 days of arrival would be accepted to prove you will be leaving.

Maybe I'll buy return airplane Ticket.

Howerver, If I have an STV visa, do I book a flight individually and go to Thailand personally? Or do I have to get on a chartered flight with only STV visa holders?

There is no such comment from any Thai embassy in any country.

individual? or chartered flight for STV group??

Reserving won't be enough as it says:" Evidence of ownership or payment for accommodation (after 14 days quarantine period) covering the entire period of intended stay in Thailand

I will book all 90 days of accommodation in Thailand through Airbnb and pay in advance.

OK, what does the page of the Seoul Thailand embassy say about STV requirements?

 

Surely that would be your best starting point, information should be available in Korean and you can ask them directly.

 

Site is here https://seoul.thaiembassy.org/ I don't see any mention of STV on the English pages.

 

Korea is also included in the Low risk country, but there is no notice yet. So I'm looking at the website of another national embassy.

Interesting note - 7a On that page does not appear to require the 500k bank balance.

Are you saying that I can reserve AirBanB and apply for an STV visa?

13 minutes ago, Crossy said:

 

Please, a link so we can see the context.

 

Two of us have the same interpretation of your snip which (if we are correct) would mean AirBnB is an absolute non-starter, but the page may include something you can do.

 

Help us to help you.

Look!!

I living in Non-English country

So I cant understand excatly...

@Xavi can you provide a link to the relevant page on the website, I think we need a bit more context.

 

I read "purchase of a condo outright or purchase on installments (hire purchase)" but it could well be lost in translation particularly if the embassy is in a non-English speaking country.

 

I read this sentence Cambida and Finland and Japam embassy

Doubt it will be sufficient for an i.o..

What you mean?

Is it possible? or not?

I went as far as submitting my passport and the two other details they asked for never received a reply from them (long stay or anyone else). 

 

Have given up now, too old for the frustration. Considering a ret visa but its a lot of paperwork.

Why did you give up STV visa?
