DTV approved in London. Wife applied first as workcation showing work/income documents etc. Hers was approved in 3 days then I applied as spouse with her DTV number and showed marriage certificate and certified translation (we were married in Italy). They requested further documentation from me, original Italian marriage certificate and an apostilled translation. Got these in 3 days and resent to Thai embassy and approved the next day. Landed on Tuesday this week from London with no issues at the airport. Also we had no return ticket out of here and it wasn’t asked for, heard a few people have been asked for them though, some have even had to buy one at the airport before entry allowed. Something to be mindful about.

On The TDAC do you have to put flight details an do dates when you are coming in on the DTV? I’m not that keen on booking a flight 6 months in advance when I’m not 100% sure of my plans.

Is having cash on Trade Republic accepted as proof? I regularly transfer freelance money from my Wise business account to TR. I have around 800K THB there laying around in cash (not invested). Also could proof around 130K EUR invested on that account.

Should I provide all info for DTV? Or is Trade Republic not accepted although they do have a bank license but the statements are in German

Hi Everyone, I might have read somewhere that the 500k baht needs to be in your account for at least a month when applying for the VISA. We're based in London if that matters.
