Any help appreciated. Just had a request for additional information from the Australian Thai Embassy.

I'm unsure what I need to provide for the "business registration of my company", as it isn't my company, I work for the Company and have provided my statement of employment. Also stated that I an employee and remote worker.

"Other request documents: Please provide a business registration of your company."

My dtv got rejected I had all documents but I think they were funny about how long yhe 500k baht had been in my bank, but over the span of 3-6 I’ve had at least 1.5M baht through my account.

This was at Ho Chi Minh.

I’m going to Hanoi tomorrow to try again.

Any advice or is it not worth retrying

Using the TM.7 application form can the DTV be extended once per entry stay for up to an extra 180 days, which means you could stay in Thailand for a total of up to 360 days (180 days + 180 days) without leaving Thailand?

Applied for dtv with soft power Muay Thai yesterday 9:30 pm and got approved today 11:45 pm. Applied in Hanoi.

Sent last 3 months of bank statements + screenshot of my app (I had more than 500.000 baht so maybe this made that it went so quickly with approval)

Receipt of dinner in Hanoi, plane ticket to Hanoi, and 2 last pages of passport.

And boxing commission letter + invitation letter (info Muay Thai gym, proof payment for classes etc).

I had never expected it to go so fast after reading all the messages here! So wanted to share this experience here. It can go very fast! 😃

My DTV application was unexpectedly rejected today (6 Nov at 11:54 a.m.) with HCM, Vietnam

Timeline:

• 27 Oct: Submitted application (7:10 p.m.)

• 28 Oct: Further info requested → submitted same day

• 4 Nov: Emailed consulate (visa expiring 9 Nov); later that day status changed from Document Check → Pending Approval

• 6 Nov, 7am: Emailed again early morning (tomorrow is the last working day before my visa expiry)

• 6 Nov, 11:54 a.m.: Received rejection

I’m an immigration advisor of NZ, working for a Chinese company, and I included:

• 6 months of payslips, bank statements, tax records, employment letter, the company registration and my license certificate.

• A NZ term deposit of over 1 million THB

• Stayed at Da Nang: boarding pass, hotel bills, visa and visa stamp.

Everything seemed straightforward, so I’m shocked by the refusal.

I can think of three possible reasons for the refusal, but I’d be interested to hear other views:

1. HCM may regard me as able to work locally since I can provide consultations to both Thai nationals and foreigners in Thailand, while the DTV prohibits me from working in Thailand. However, all clients of the company are from mainland China, which is not specifically mentioned in the application. Should I clarify that I am aware of Thai law and will not conduct any local work?

2. I hold both Chinese and New Zealand citizenships, but I applied under my Chinese passport (as only my Chinese health insurance covers me due to my medical conditions). This is not something I can change.

3. I used a New Zealand term deposit instead of a savings account, which might be seen as funds not immediately accessible. Should I instead provide proof of a regular savings account?

Has anyone experienced something similar or know what might have triggered this?

Hello, I live in Pattaya and I want to apply for a DTV visa.

I’m a crypto trader, which doesn’t count as income according to the government, so I’d like to get the visa through a Muay Thai program.

Can anyone give recommendations on the best way to do it?

Maybe a specific agency or which country is best to apply from?

Any advice would be appreciated, thank you.

If I work for two companies, how can I present them on the website if there is only an option to select one company?

How do you translate payslips?

Does anyone have a list of required documents to prepare?
