Sorry if I sound like an idiot, but I’ve already emailed the Los Angeles Thai consulate & the answer didn’t make sense to me. So here goes. My husband holds a Finnish passport, I have a US passport. We live in Hawaii (USA) He is a content creator & makes a living online. We are going to be applying online with him as the person applying, me & our 3 children as his dependents. My first question is: Which consulate will be overseeing my application process? Is it Los Angeles?

My second question is, whether our bank account situation will work… September had 35k, October dipped to 4k, November 49k, & December will be 50-100k… Would like to apply asap, like end of December or early January latest… Do you think they’ll deny because of October? Should I wait till early February to apply?

If they reject due to not having the bank account having enough funds for long enough, will we have to pay the whole 2k (5 people) again when we reapply?

Thank you for all your help!

ORIGINAL POSTER
Got DTV visa (Spouse / Dependent) approved in HCMC, Vietnam.

with Sponsor letter from wife (Main DTV-Visa Holder)

Timeline:

• DAY 1 (Tuesday) – submitted application

• DAY 2 (Wednesday) – pending approval

• DAY 9 (Wednesday) – visa approved ✅

My main DTV visa was approved and after the approval we submitted the dependent visa application for my husband. (same day)

I sponsored him, and these are the documents we provided in one PDF for the financial / sponsor proof:

- Sponsor letter

- Copy of my passport

- 3 months of bank statements (because a lot of people ask this in the group — I used the same 500,000 THB that I used for my own application, and he was also approved with it)

- Our international marriage certificate

No questions. No additional documents requested. Just one week of waiting at the pending approval stage.



Other submitted documents:

- Passport

- Photograph

- Copy of the main DTV visa

- Proof of location (flight booking confirmation, boarding pass, entry stamp, hotel reservation in Vietnam, photo with passport in front of the hotel)

- International marriage certificate (we added a separate page to the international marriage certificate with a short note that it is already translated into English and that English is the third language on the document. I saw in the group before that embassies sometimes miss this. So we added it just in case.)

Does anyone have recent experiences applying for the DTV Medical for Hormone Replacement Therapy if treatment was started in your home country but you wish to continue it in Thailand?

Sponsorship Letter in Laos

Has anyone been approved with a sponsorship letter from their parents in Laos to be the primary holder of the DTV? To be clear, my parents are not applying for the DTV but they would be sponsoring me.

If not, which countries have success rates with a sponsorship letter? I have a few friends who applied from the US successfully, but I’m already in Southeast Asia. Could I leave Thailand and say I’m in the US to apply? My friends were in Europe but said they were in the US.

Thank you in advance!

I recently heard that you can now only apply for the DTV from your home country. Can anyone confirm if this is true or not? Every other day there seems to be more and more confusion about this visa!
