DTV Thailand – Clarification Needed (Additional Documents Request)

Hi everyone, I’ve received a request for additional documents for my DTV application and would really appreciate some clarification from those who’ve been through this.

1. Full passport copy

They ask for the *latest copy of my full passport, including all pages (even blank ones)*, and state that *“photos must show the current date and time they were taken.”*

* How do they expect the date and time to be shown?

* Is adding a timestamp on the photo acceptable, or should I photograph my passport next to a phone screen showing the current date and time?

* I no longer have a Temporary Resident Card (I had one previously, but i no longer work in Vietnam).

2. Financial evidence (500,000 THB)

My funds are split across:

* A South African bank account, which shows the 500k minimum (my home country)

* A Vietnamese bank account - where I lived/worked for 3 years, showing my salary (from 6 months ago until November 2025)

* Wise (current employer started paying me ~2 months ago)

They ask for:

* Proof the accounts are mine

* Bank statements (last 3 months)

* Income/salary for the last 6 months (highlighted)

* Income tax for the last 2 years

Has anyone successfully submitted multiple accounts/countries + Wise? Any tips on how to package this cleanly?

1. Current work details

They request:

* CV or portfolio

* Examples of work with supporting materials

Should I include:

* CV + degrees

* Contract (from new employer and old employer)

* Proof of payment

What level of detail is *actually* expected here?

Thanks in advance — any practical advice from approved DTV holders would be greatly appreciated.

I’d worry more about the 3 bank accounts over two countries and the fact you haven’t submitted details and evidence of your work rather than date stamps (although you need to get that right also). Unfortunately this is going to get rejected so I’d make plans to apply properly elsewhere.

Proof of life always required a picture of a newspaper from that date. Add that to each page photo. :)

Gregory Kleiman I thought about something similar. Like a phone with the date and time next to it. I just want to make it look as legit as possible so there aren’t any doubts.

If you look for your phone you can set a time and date in watermark settings

I’m just worried that adding manual time stamps might make it seem like it is illegitimate. What would make it seem more “real”?

I thought about pictures with a phone next to the passport pages that proves the date and time. Any suggestions?

I recommend being detailed and spelling everything out. I applied in Taiwan and had to do an interview because I had term deposits that did have monthly statements and I mostly just had to explain to them that if I had a statement with the same balance in April and then one in November, that it meant that all the months in between were also covered, because they said they couldn't see a statement for September so how did they know I had enough money. Before I left the interview, I checked that they did in fact understand that I had that amount in September and they confirmed they did and I got my visa 2 days later.

If I could have gone back in time, I would have written it out so everything was obvious and you aren't assuming anyone will just understand everything. I thought keeping it simple was key, but instead I would keep it stupid and make sure there's no room for error. They could have just denied me without giving me an interview. I also had to show my conversions to THB when they asked for more info.
