What are the options for applying for a DTV Soft Power visa after moving 500K to my bank account?
Hi, I need some help. Country: Netherlands.
I want to apply for DTV Soft Power/ Medical Care. Have been to Bangkok Hospital yearly for 3 years in a row now.
My "problem" is:
Wait for the 500K stay in my bank account for 3 months before applying in a neighbour country of Thailand? And enter Thailand with a tourist visa for now.
Or: try and apply after 1 month of having the 500K in my bank account . Apply from The Netherlands. And take my chances that hopefully it won't be a probleml having the 500K in my account just for a 1 month.
Any Dutchies have experience with this?
Thanks for any help in advance! 🙏😊

If you want to open a bank account and live hassle free, better to get education visa first and later on switch to DTV. I got my DTV in the Netherlands last year within 3 days but now I am having problems paying etc. locally cos I cannot open bank account on DTV. It becomes expensive if you add up in the short and long-run. Just my two cents.

I doubt if a hospital visit once a year will qualify for DTV, that also can easily be done on visa exempt, so there is a risk your application will be rejected.

it's every 3 months a visit. So 4 times a year. That would be sufficient I think right?Luit *****************

In the opening post you say "yearly"Anonymous ******************
In Hungary, I transferred the same day to my Wise when I applied So the money was there just less a day ago... I got the DTV in 4 days. That is an option too for you to come to Hungary, it could be a very cheap and quick flight for you. You should book something on booking.com and submit the booking receipt as proof of staying. Just and idea..

Better take a tourist visa and wait for 3 months then apply from anywhere you like

I’m Dutch and applied in Jakarta from Bali. Not sure about the time you should have it in your account, but just to be sure I would wait for the 3 months mark

I was in Thailand. From there we went to Bali and applied. Everything is done online and so need to go to Jakarta, you just need to be in Indonesia and able to provide proof of being there. Just make sure all your documents are in orderSuan *****
OPAnonieme deelnemer 822 thank you very much for sharing. Big help! 🙏
