Hello, my visa got approved (tokyo embassy) but i got the 6 months visa instead of the DTV. Can i do anything to fix that or did i just loose money and i need to wait 6 month to apply for the DTV again and praying again ?

UPDATE: I went to the embassy I told them that I had a problem with my visa they didn’t care and told me to make a phone call. The phone number for visa is available only from 4:30PM to 5:30PM wtf is wrong with them ?

Hello everyone, I am from Ukraine and I want to do DTV, I plan to go to Kuala Lumpur and apply for a visa online. I am not a resident of Malaysia, all I will have is a hotel booking. Will they approve my visa?

Hello,

Apologies if this has been asked before I have used the search but cannot find anything.

For the 90 day reporting in Bangkok, can I print the passport pages and DTV at or near the immigration office? I don’t have access to a printer,

Thanks,🙏

APPROVED! 🎉

DTV Soft Power Visa - Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

HUGE thanks to everyone here in the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) group for all the helpful info! 🙌

TIMELINE

* Mid March - Researched DTV categories, requirements, Muay Thai schools. Chose Wildcat Muay Thai (in Chiang Mai).

* March 26: Finalized details and paid for a 6-month course. Shout out to Meaw for answering all my questions! :)

* March 27: Received the required documents from the school for the Soft Power DTV application.

* March 28: Prepared supporting documents: cover letter, bank statements, proof of accommodation, etc. Decided to wait till April for my banks to produce the most recent, March account statement.

* April 1: Submitted my application (documents + fees).

* April 3: Received a request for updated financial proof (bank statements for the last 6 months) and explanation of how I’ll support myself. Sent the additional documents the same night.

* April 8: Status updated to “Pending Approval” (visible on the portal; no email notification).

* April 16: APPROVED! Received my visa as a PDF via email.

If I had to do it again - I would submit all 6 months of bank account statements AND the most recent month right away.

And in a case you're unemployed - definitely include a COVER LETTER explaining how you're going to support yourself.

Hope this helps anyone navigating the process.

Thanks everyone!
