If you have been approved for a Soft Power activity for example Muay Thai .

Do you have to start the Muay Thai as soon as you get into Thailand 🇹🇭?

Or can you just start in a few months once you have settled in ?

Three days after submission, Ho Chi Minh authorities requested additional documents, including six months of bank statements (not just the balance), company profile information, proof of qualifications for the role, payslips, and more evidence of my current location. I provided a hotel booking, passport stamp into Vietnam, boarding card, and a selfie outside the hotel with the keycard.

Compiling the PDF under 3MB was tricky on my Mac. I dragged photos and screenshots into Pages, exported them as “good” quality, and combined individual PDFs using the Preview app. Fingers crossed for approval!

I had to extend my flight as approval by Friday seems unlikely. The fee to change was only 1500 baht. I’m considering heading to the beach instead of staying in Ho Chi Minh for another week, though they might still request an interview.

Can I apply for DTV while outside of Thailand but not within the country in which I'm applying? (For example if I'm currently in Japan, can I apply at the Hanoi embassy online?)

Hello,

I submitted all documents today and got within few hours a reply that they need some more details, even if I sent them already, I will submit them again, I am confused about the following:

"**Certificate of entry and exit date From National Immigration Agency"

**Is this the Visa out of Thailand stamp (coming from there) and the Entry stamp of Taipei? ...because I sent a picture already of this from the beginning.

Any idea?

They also requested bank statement, which I all sent to them...

Applied at Taipei online.

Not sure how to get the certificate of entry and exit date from Taiwan National Immigration Agency?

Also for proof of income…I don’t have any proof. I played online poker before, and I had bought a little bit of crypto years ago, should I just take a picture of my crypto wallet and write a description of why I have the money? I wrote “retired 40-60k” for my occupation and income. The amount I have in my wallet is several multiple of that so it makes sense?

Hi team I did have a quick search but didn't find anything. Sorry if this is a stupid question. I've done one extension of my visa exemption before in Thailand (60 day visa exemption on arrival then applied for extra 30 days), does this count as applying for a visa previously? I think not but I want to double check!

Has anybody applied for DTV as a spouse of a DTV visa holder? My husband plans to get it first and then I want to get it as his spouse. We are thinking of making a sponsorship letter to cover my financial evidence. Has anybody applied with that? What does that letter have to look like? Also, to complicate things even more, we are a gay couple and I am not sure if Thailand will recognize foreign gay marriages immediately after January 23 (when their law is coming in force). Any thoughts appreciated!
