Hi, I have a question about the DTV visa. When providing necessary documents (proof of owning a business, proof of funds etc.) - do you need a notary translation? Do you provide originals? My native language is NOT english, obviously. Thanks!

TLDR : Answer Summary
If you're applying for a DTV visa and your native language is not English, you do not need a notary translation for your documents as long as they are in your native language. You can provide color copies of your documents instead of originals, and in some cases, digital uploads may be accepted. It's advisable to check with your relevant embassy for specific requirements.

You don't need to submit original document: just color copy is ok. In some country, even digital documents uploading are already allowed. For more details information, please read your related embassy website.

no. As long as they show your name and details.

If you apply visa in your country of citizenship, you don't need Thai or English translation rather than your native language.
