Hi everyone!

I applied initially from Indonesia (Jakarta) but it was declined. I assume because they’re strict on the “seasoning” of the savings, when I had only recently transferred them into the one account.

I am now looking to re-apply at HCMC.

Does anyone else use Xendit/Stripe/payment portals? Just figuring out the smoothest way to document the payments I receive from clients, as I think attaching bank statements last time was too lengthy.

Also, is there a minimum income required for DTV? I didn't read that part if so.

Thankyou for your help!

They express concern about the documentation process, especially regarding income proof from payment portals like Xendit and Stripe, and inquire about any minimum income requirements for the DTV visa.

I just applied here. I'm curious how long it has been since your submission; did it take you long to find out it was rejected?

That sounds weird to me. For one, seasoning is not a legal requirement by the law underlying the DTV - but I know several embassies make rules up to make it one. Second, demonstrating regular income from clients isn't a legal requirement, either - only sufficiently showing proof of 500k THB in savings is. What a mess this has become with embassies making up arbitrary rules. Hope you have better luck next time. Sad that luck is needed at all - it should be clear from the law what is required and what is not. But this Thailand.

Stripe is a payment gateway, not a bank or am I wrong?
