Hi everyone, I have a question about the DTV Soft Power visa.

I’m planning to apply around 18 December. The required 500k THB is in my parents’ account, not mine. If I transfer the money into my own account now, will that be a problem? Do they check how long the funds have been there, or only the balance on the application day?

I was planning to apply in Ho Chi Minh, but I can change cities if needed.

If anyone has recent experience, what should I be careful with? Any common reasons for rejection I should avoid?

Thanks a lot for any advice.

Please tell me if I'm on the right track? I have the non o from US. Secured a condo with tm 30 and lease agreement in bangkok. Arrived October 18. My bank account was opened November 8th with required amount. Is there anything I missed? Just seems strange waiting the 60 days.

Applied on Wednesday at Thai embassy London and got this yesterday asking for more documents. Some of the documents they asked for I uploaded with original application . Is this generic ? Also for the company letter I am a freelance in my occupation and work for different company's outside of Thailand so I provided a letter from myself and contracts from my previous 2 employers. Should this be ok ? Has anybody had similar from London ?

Has anyone applied for the Thailand Workation Visa in Ho Chi Minh recently? If my 500k THB balance has only been stable for the past month (not the past 3 months), is that still acceptable?

My funds are split between Revolut, Wise, and Stripe.

Is it ok to combine the statements as long as the total is over 500k THB?

Do I need monthly statements for each account, or are current balance screenshots enough?

What are the most common reasons people get rejected for this visa at the HCMC consulate?

Anything specific I should prepare so the application goes smoothly?

Do you need a flight booked to apply for DTV? Wanted to confirm approval first before booking a flight and I’m still a few months away from planned date of travel.

Just seeing a few posts where people are mentioning flights may need to be booked.

Applying in Sydney.

Cheers.

Hello, Does anyone know how early Koh Samui Immigration will let you make an appointment for a retirement visa extension? My current extension is nearing expiry. Thank you.
