How was the DTV visa application process for the Discover Thai Nature Seminar in Manila?

Feb 12, 2025
a year ago
DTV Approved in Manila

Category : Soft Power - Discover Thai Nature Seminar

Submit date : 9th February (Sunday)

Submitted document :

- Passport picture

- Copy of passport info page

- Current location ( Manila entry stamp + hotel booking)

- Document package received from Discover Thai Nature

- Financial proof (Bank statement 3 months) + rental contract in Thailand

* 1 of us just deposited the funds to personal saving account few days before we submit the application and do not have the bank statement to show the funds, we submitted funds deposit receipt from bank + screenshot of the current balance from the account with a short note explaining this and they accepted it without further questions

- Requested further documents 2 times for 3 months bank statement as we only provide 1 month statement at the beginning and more documents from the Seminar

Fee : 18000PHP (a little more than 10k thb )

Visa Approved date : Today afternoon, 12th February Wednesday ( 3 working days )

Really thankful for all the advices in this group!! Also I saw some posts talking about the Seminar we enrolled to , we probably are the 1st one to apply the visa with this Seminar in Manila, no issues besides some more documents needed from the seminar, the people from the Seminar are very helpful and responsivešŸ‘šŸ¾

Maybe it has to do with the departure date. What day did you say that you're departing to Thailand? I hope you'll get it today as well!

Btw still haven't received the visa. He went to the embassy and they told him that the process will finish for sure 100% by today. And I heard that they process visa after 5pm. I don't think he is getting a visa today and don't know what to do....

I’m very sorry to hear that. I guess he will have to rebook his flight :( I also didn’t get mine. They said because I’m leaving mid March to expect it first or second week of March…
