Soft Power DTV Approved. London Embassy

Unemployed with no income in past 3 months

Applied for ACRO 28/08

ACRO received 19/09

Submitted DTV Application 21/09

Requested extra documents 22/09

Submitted extra documents 22/09 at night

Approved 24/09

These were the extra documents I was asked for, showed proof of quite a bit more than the required 500K THB and explained I'd be supporting myself with savings.

Just posting to help anyone in a similar situation

Don’t need income to qualify

Only need the 500K

Why are people obsessed with income ?

Focus on the paper work if you have the money

That’s all

Wow London are so efficient I love it. Curious what you applied under without income in the last 3 months?

Useful case study. Soft Power with “no income” can work when the activity story and funds proof are coherent — London asking for extras is normal, not a rejection signal. Takeaway for others: ACRO timing and the 500k path need to be planned as a sequence, not scrambled in the last week.
