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.
