Has anyone successfully applied for DTV through HCM? In the case I'm unemployed, is it sufficient to just have a letter explaining how I will be able to sustain my life in Thailand?
Answer summary
The discussion revolves around applying for a DTV visa through the Thai Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City, particularly for individuals who are unemployed. Key points include the need for a financial statement showing at least 500,000 THB in the bank, with suggestions to utilize 'soft power' and a sponsor to demonstrate support. It's important to avoid large deposits that might raise suspicions. Additionally, choosing the right embassy can influence the documentation needed for the visa application.

You have not 🚫 said much about you and the purpose for which you will be applying for the DTV visa with the Ho Chi Minh City Thai Consulate...

What is your passport nation?

What are you applying for with the DTV visa?

I doubt that it's for Workcation... based on your post.

If for Soft Power activity...

Which one?

And who will be ok providing the important documents supporting your DTV application?

Try soft power and get an sponsor that has seasonal money in their accounts for 6 months. Try not to have BIG DEPOSITS or they will ask you why is that deposit there and look for justification as they will suspect you borrow this money for the visa. All they care is that your sponsor can support yourself and that money for this will come from outside Thailand. The embassy that you apply to also plays a significant factor in the amount of paperwork they will be requesting . If you are in thailand go to vietnam and choose hanoi. Tickets are cheap and also housing is affordable. Check for an school that is registered with the goverment and before you apply go to the embassy to verify if the school shows in their records . Good luck 🙏

Are the financial statements required to be in Thai Baht or equivalent foreign currency would be sufficient?
