Has anyone successfully applied for the DTV visa on their third attempt in Jakarta after previous rejections?
ANYONE BEEN ACCCEPTED A THIRD TIME????
DTV JAKARTA! Workcation: I work online with my own personal training/nutrition business.
First application; rejected. Likely as my savings weren't seasoned.
Second application; approved but for METV :( So devastated!
Meeting with an agent to discuss future options but feeling very disheartened. I think that maybe my cover letters mentioned tourism alongside my work, when I should have made it more of a "work" focus.
Anyone else been in this situation?

I used a step by step guide that had letter templates and checklists that made it really easy to go through the process, and it was very affordable, compared to agent charges. It has all the steps of what to include, so nothing was missed.
I estimate it saved me about 10+ hours of my time not having to create and research it all myself!
Got my visa in 4 business days.
PM me and I can share the link with you!

Well, you have METV visa, so I guess you should be happy with it cuz you won’t get any other visa until this one expires. And don’t be so sure that your future husband’s application gets approved. There are just a bit too many “what ifs”

2nd one for metv? why? You're applying for the DTV, right? That's a totally different visa.
Have the 500K baht in your personal bank account for at least 3 months. That is overall the rule. It's not that complicated.

Somone just posted approval on their 3rd attempt in Hanoi. Consider applying in a different location to JKT.Cherie ***********
OPThankyou so much that is a great idea! ☺️🙏

OPI did everything that was asked on my second application, including that.

@Cherie **********
what about the proof of monthly income? Contracts from customers/clients?Cherie ***********
OPThey gave me METV instead of DTV

You can either use the METV or email them to cancel it and re-apply. Using soft power activity like Muaythai with a strong school dealing with DTV will help.

Not happy with Bali anymore ? What happened ?

OPI love Bali, it is my home outside New Zealand! I like to go to Thailand to get away from rainy season 😂

I totally get it 😛
Then why not applying for a METV visa ? Much less complicated and far less hassles … Just sayin’… People love to complicate their life out of severe boredom 🙄

What comes on my mind:
1. You income is too low for 5 years here, rather will sustain half a year that’s why they gave tourist visa
2. You didn’t provide long term rent contract and showed hotel booking
3. You didn’t mention traveling around whole Thailand and certain destinations, so half a year seems to be enough for your visit.

Yes, I was accepted for DTV in 2020 for the first time before anyone knew this visa exist. Then in 2025 and they confirmed that I will be accepted again in 2030 even if I don't meet criteria. So yes, I'm accepted DTV for third time 🥇 🥈 🥉

Samsung S24 She is asking if anyone has been accepted on their third application, after two rejections. Reading comprehension is important.

DTV_BegPecker is trolling, DTV start at 2024..

DTV_BegPecker I know her meaning but her words were vague. My comment was to emphasize her the importance of typing clear message.

Samsung S24 uh... no, their post was clear. You might have reading comprehension issues though
Ben ********
I only got accepted once
Elías ********
You need to use the MTEV first
John **********
Wait until the METV expires before applying again, you can't hold 2 visas simultaneously

@John *********
Correct ✅Andi ***********
Mentioning tourism would be of concern. Issue of the 6 mth METV often given as the application does not indicate a need to be in Thailand longer than that. Approvals have been given on the 3rd attempt. you can find such posts in the threads. The METV enables you to stay around 8mths..

Have the last 2 applications been to the same consulate? My application was rejected when I applied in some Asian country. But when I applied for a 2nd time from back home in Kenya I was approved.

Twice applying in Jakarta?
Cherie ***********
OPYup my passport is NZ! I think Jakarta overall are quite strict 😞 I’m getting married next month (my husband is aussie) so I may go as dependent once he gets his. Either that or go to Laos lol good luck for yours 🩷🙏
Cherie ***********
OP@Kerry ******
Yup! I'm an Indonesian citizen/ have my KITAS. Business is registered here as well etc so better than going back to New Zealand (my homeland)Kerry *******
@Cherie **********
Your passport NZ?Im English and i'm going to England. I keep hearing again and again apply from passport country. So I'm trying that. Maybe it's something to consider.

Mine rejected once in Jakarta also already btw.
