Hey everyone, I just wanted to share my experience since this group has been really helpful!

I submitted my DTV visa application in the Philippines on Monday and received it today (Thursday). I initially thought Monday would be counted as Day 1, but it turns out they started counting from Tuesday, so it only took 3 days to process!

Here are the documents I submitted:

* Contract (proof of work)

* Employment verification (confirming that I'm currently working)

* Detailed explanation of what I do + screenshots

* Bank statement (last 6 months) – I deposited a large amount in the last 4 days (around $10,000 in total) to show sufficient funds

* My previous ED visa stamp + cancellation proof

* Current rental contract (where I’m staying now)

* Philippines entry stamp + hotel booking (used my current address for this)

Since I have a Korean passport, the visa fee was $0!

thank you eveyronee

Do you mind if I ask My previous ED visa stamp + cancellation proof is from Thailand?

Thanks for your helpful report.

Congratulations 👏👏

Be sure to print out several copies the email with the DTV Visa in it.

You will use the copies during the 5 years of the DTV visa.

Show it to airlines at check-in AND Thai Immigration officers upon arrival into Thailand.

airlines? Why?

James ********

to prove that you have Thai VIsa which allows you to stay in Thailand 180 days. If you enter Thailand with a tourist visa or Visa Exempt Entry, and Thai Immigration DENIED entry, the airline is fined AND responsible to fly you BACK to your initial start Point at your expense.
