I applied for Dtv (business) through the e-visa service in Sweden, application submitted 19 October, it's still pending document check. So almost 3 weeks with no progress. Anyone knows if this is normal?

Hi everyone! I first entered Thailand on August 31st on my DTV visa, and I’ll be leaving on December 1st after using it for 3 months. I plan to re-enter in January on the same type of visa (for my Soft Power Muay Thai training).

Can anyone please tell me what the requirements are when I re-enter?

• Do I need to show proof of accommodation and other documents again,

or can I just enter without any problem since it’s the same visa type?

Would really appreciate any advice or recent experiences — thank you! 🙏🇹🇭

My husbands DTV visa application rejected with no reason provided.

DTV ( e-commerce business owner ) Application Rejected

We are going to start new application, but before we want to find out what should be a problem here.

Hi everyone,

I’m hoping to get some advice from this community.

We came firstly to Thailand in September 12, after month a vacation my husband flew to Hot Chi Min, Vietnam and started the application.

22 October started application -

He is citizen of Belgium (Born in Kazakhstan), but last three years we were living in Netherlands and all his statements from Netherlands.

He gave papers that proves that he is owning company. In Dutch and English.

Bank statement 3 months and so on…

Afterwards they asked for an extra documents:

- financial statement’s for 6 months : *but he gave only for one month*

- ⁠submit a photo of every page of his passport

- ⁠and an brief where he was describing how he is working remote. *now im thinking maybe this mail was too dry and official, maybe he has to describe that Thailand is a perfect destination for making business and developing… and so on.*

My husband also works as a remote worker for a dutch company, but because we are not sure that the company will give an officially that he can be in Thailand we didn’t mentioned this income.

Afterwards it was pending approval for last 2 days.

Today he received Visa application was rejected.

We were traveling in Thailand once year ago. That’s why no visa runs on passport was shown.

So far, no explanation was given for the rejection, and we are trying to understand whether:

1. Anyone has had a similar experience applying in Vietnam?

2. Can it be that the application was rejected because we already in Thailand and didn’t went to immigration office before application. We have been here as tourists so far.

3. The second is maybe because he gave only one month financial statement is the real reason for the rejection???

4. It’s worth reapplying there or trying another consulate?

Any insights, experiences, or suggestions would be deeply appreciated.

Thank you so much

Hi guys, is it possible to not fill out the TM30 upon arrival, but stay for 2 nights at a hotel before doing the 90-day report? I landed 2 days ago, but yesterday was bank holiday, and today immigration made things too complicated for me, so I couldn't get it.

DTV (Soft Power) - Approved.

Location: Hanoi

Timeline (4 working days):

03/11 - Apply & paid

04/11 - Status changed to pending approval

06/11 - Status changed to Approved, 1pm

Hi All,

On my Third document request from KL, applying via Musy Thai, I have already submitted a 6 month statment with a balance of £17,000 and have been asked for 3 months ‘certify by the bank’. I bank with NatWest and they don’t offer such service? Any advise

Hello everyone 🇻🇳

I’m currently in Ho Chi Minh applying for the DTV visa. I’ve made a submission yesterday and the embassy just requested some additional ones, specifically my CV or portfolio and examples of my work that show what I do professionally.

I’m a social media manager and mainly handle content and accounts for a single creator but I’m not quite sure what work examples to provide.

Would it make sense to include things like:

• Videos I’ve edited or campaigns I’ve managed

• Screenshots of posts or analytics

• Photos of me with the creator at events

If anyone has gone through something similar, I’d appreciate your advice on what to include and how to present it.

Thanks in advance for any tips! 🙏

I applied for DTV in Hanoi 10 days ago and still pending. How long it will take?

Has anyone done visa recently in Hanoi?

Are we allowed to enter the embassy to do it or is it online the same as Ho Chi Minh?

Thanks
