Hello everyone. I have a question. We are a family of three. My wife has had her DTV visa since early July. My daughter and I have applied for accompanying DTV visas. We are leaving on August 12 but still haven’t received a response regarding the visas. Can we enter the country with tourist visas and then, once we get the response for the DTV visas, leave and re-enter with the accompanying DTV visas?

Thank you.🙏

Hey everyone, I’m thinking of applying for the DTV in Ho Chi Minh City soon and trying to get clarity on the financial proof requirement.

I’ve got more than 500,000 baht in GBP sitting in my UK bank account, but it’s only been there for a few weeks. Some places say it needs to have been sitting there for three months, others say it doesn’t matter.

Has anyone here applied in HCMC and got approved with less than three months of bank history?

I can also include a sponsorship letter from a parent with their bank statements and proof of relationship if needed, but I’d rather just use my own funds if possible.

Would really appreciate any recent experiences or advice. Thanks.

I applied at HCM embassy!

I submitted a 6-month bank statement that I obtained from the online banking system of a bank in my country. Now, they are asking me to prove that the bank statement is legitimate. How should I prove its legitimacy? Should I just write and submit a cover letter?

Do you also experience these kinds of requests? If so, what is the best way to handle thsi

I would greatly appreciate any guidance or advice on the appropriate way to address such a request effectively.

For Hong Kong applicants:

Before applying, many people said Hong Kong was difficult to apply to, and even the cooking schools asked me to avoid it.

However, if you're a Hong Kong resident, don't hesitate to apply there. It will just take longer, about a month. There's no need to apply in other countries, as flights and hotels also cost money.

The visa fee for Hong Kong is 3,000 HKD.

Cooking school: 19,000 + B.

That's about 8,000 HKD for a 5-year visa.

Even with Soft Power, the application process in Hong Kong can still be slow. It took me about a month.

A follow on from my recent post as I am now going down the route of a Thai cooking course under the Soft Power option. Is there anyone in the group who has gone down the same route and found a reliable cooking school in Chiang mai who participate under the government scheme.

Hi, :) i forgot to do my 90 day report at the immigration, and it's been almost 6 months i've been in thailand. I will soon do the visa run. Should i still get the 90 day report done before i do the visa run, is it a big deal?

Just starting out on the DTV route from here in the UK as this seems a better option for me rather then the Retirement Visa. I don’t have an online business so would an option like a Thai Language Course be a viable one ?

Approved!

Type : Workcation

Country of Application : Hanoi, Vietnam

Date of Application : 7/31 10:00am

Date of Approval : 8/7 3:00pm

If you have any questions, i will reply.

thank you.

Hey everyone, I recently applied for the dtv visa and I got approved. Now I need to apply for my spouse, my question is do I need to provide financial proof for her that she has 500,000 baht?

If yes, would my personal bank account work if I have 1m baht and I write a letter sponsoring her fully for any financial needs? Thanks
