Hi

We are looking to go to Malaysia and apply for the dtv. We are a family of 5 I have our marriage certificate and birth certificates but we can’t find a clear answer. If my husband has the 500k baht in his bank is that accepted for us all or do I need to show the funds in my account also?

Do we have to show this for each child also or only the main applicant? Thankyou

Hello everyone, I’d really appreciate your advice on my DTV (Medical Soft Power) application.

I submitted my application online last Friday evening via the Thai Embassy in Hanoi. On Monday noon I received an email asking for additional documents — specifically my doctor’s ID. After contacting the hospital, they provided me with my doctor’s Thailand Medical Council ID on Tuesday morning. I also prepared a cover letter and attached both the hospital’s official doctor profile URL and the PDF version. I resubmitted everything before noon on Tuesday. By that evening, my application status changed to “Pending Approval,” and it has stayed the same until now (Thursday, 1:20 pm).

I’ve already bought a ticket to fly to Thailand tomorrow afternoon. If the status does not move by then, I will likely be stuck through the weekend.

👉 My questions:

• Is it possible to leave Vietnam while the application is still pending, since the e-visa will be sent by email once approved?

• If it’s not approved by tomorrow, should I extend my hotel booking and change my flight? Or is it fine to proceed with my travel plan?

Appreciate your friendly advice or experiences 🙏

Just to add: my passport allows me 14 days visa-free entry to Thailand. I’m considering flying in first, and then once my DTV e-visa is approved, doing a border run to re-enter with it.

Update :

I’m very happy to share an update 🙏

I just received my DTV (Medical Soft Power) approval email this afternoon at 2:46 pm!

I really appreciate all your advice and encouragement — it gave me the confidence to wait patiently and make the right decision.

This group is such a valuable community, thank you all for sharing your experience and guidance. 💙

Hey everyone! I’ve been waiting for my visa for over a month now, and today I got the request in the photo asking for additional documents. Has anyone here dealt with this before and knows exactly what they mean?

In my original application I already submitted an official letter from my accountant describing my business and income, with his original signature. Any tips or advice would be super helpful 🙏

You are on DTV (6months at one go as usual) and you have left Thailand after say 3 months only and now you are back on the 6th month, before the expiry of the 1st 6 months given originally, will they re stamp the passport for another 6 month? I may stay less
