Hi All, I am in Thailand on 60 day Visa at the moment. I am heading to Vietnam in December/January. I was going to apply for my DTV there rather than going back to Aus. I was wanting to know if there was anyone in a similar situation to mine that can share their experience?

I don't want to go all the way back to Aus to do paperwork if I can avoid it.

OK, I would welcome all thehelp/advise I can get. Here is where I am currently at. I have retired, I'm 64. I am at that miserable stage where I am trying to liquidate all my belongings. I'm also getting my financial situation ready too. I'm not concerned with the financial obligations required. I have no problem putting 800,000 baht into an account,and my monthly social security deposit is more than the 65,000 baht required. so, what retirement visa should I apply for? FYI, I'm from the USA. I currently do not have health insureance, so I am looking for a visa that doesn't require it. Also, how far back does the background check go? I'm good for 20 years. Please help me get this going. In addition, how far ahead do I apply meaning how long does it normally take to get approved? Lastly, after getting approved, how long do I have to go before it expires?

Thanks BV

Hey!!

Is anyone able to help me with these please?

I have applied from London embassy. I live and work in Spain in the summers. I sent my Spanish bank statements in English with enough money in?

Shout I write a cover letter for them and explain I live and work in Spain in the summers?

And upload that along with my Spanish statement again and also prove my English bank statement with my home address on?

I have also sent everything that the Muay Thai gym has sent me.

Any help or advice would be much appreciated thank you 🙏

I submitted my paperwork on October 13th, got documents requested on the 17th, and I’ve been waiting since. Is it worth visiting the Embassy in-person to get an update? They immediately hangup the phone if I try to call, and when I emailed them before, they said it would be processed by yesterday. I’m supposed to head out tonight, so I’m worried.

My application was approved, and I'm posting this as a reference for those applying through the embassy in Mexico City.

I decided to apply in my own country instead of going to a country in Southeast Asia because that way I avoid translations and misunderstandings in my documents, as well as unnecessary reviews.

Application started on October 20th

I will answer any specific questions that applicants at this embassy may have. Cheers

Hi guys,

I have an online business that grossed around €50k in revenue but most of that was put back into the business rather than paying myself apart from in dribs and drabs.

Do I need to be seen paying myself on a regular basis or will the business turnover be enough. Also, I have multiples of the B500k in my personal current/ savings accounts so hopefully that will appease them.

Thanks

Hello people Im applying under soft power

How long a course should be whats the minimum duration? Like 6 months ?

So if i take a 1 year course will it help my visa for whole 5 years or just that first year only ?

Muay thai or cooking class which is affordable ?

Recommend a school if possible

Im on a budget !!

Hi Guys, i will be applying DTV (Muay Thai) in Hanoi soon. For the bank statement submission, do you include all of the pages of a statement? Or just the page with ending balance?

P.S. For some months, my bank statement can be 5-7 pages long.

Working on my DTV visa app and wondering about the photo requirement- if the system accepts the photo, is it good to go and will be accepted? It flagged the first one I uploaded but the 2nd time around it seems fine... anyone?
