Hi everyone, I have a question regarding the DTV application process, specifically for Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Has anyone successfully been approved for a DTV without personally showing the full 500,000 THB in funds, but instead using a sponsor letter (for example from a family member, or sponsor covering financial support)?

If yes, could you share your experience and what documents you provided? Did they still require bank statements in your own name, or was the sponsor documentation enough?

Thanks in advance for any insights.

They seek others' experiences with this process, asking specifically about necessary documents and whether bank statements in their name are still needed. Comments reflect a mix of opinions about the DTV process and visa rules, with some discussions about changes in application requirements over time.
