DTV Visa Visa Requirements Thai Embassy Immigration Expat Advice Visa Application Process

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi guys, I need some advice and reassurance from those who had a similar experience. I applied for the DTV visa through a European agency. They told me I could apply with around €12,500 in the bank (less than 50,000 THB). I sent all documents 4 weeks before my flight (bank statement, 3 invoices, residence certificate, VAT certificate, self-declaration, passport, driving license). Now they say 3 invoices are not enough and are delaying sending my application to the Thai embassy in Italy. I don’t have more invoices i can create another 2... and I’m worried time is running out. In 3 weeks is my departure. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Thanks!

In general, it’s better to book the flight once you get the visa… you never know how long it’s gon a take.

It sounds like you’re trying to get around the requirements. These sorts of attempts mess up the process for many 😓

immagino che tu stia applicando come lavoratore remoto/freelancer. In quel caso servono delle prove che tu faccia veramente il tuo lavoro e 3 fatture non bastano di sicuro. I consolati vogliono vedere i soldi andare nel tuo conto corrente (ti potrebbero fare delle storie per i

euro visto il cambio attuale, il testo ufficiale prevede almeno 500k thai baht). Hai gia' pagato? Se si allora prova a chiedere un rimborso e poi fai domanda in vietnam. Se non hai pagato allora mandali a fare in koolo e se non puoi spostare il biglietto, entri per 2 mesi visa exempted e poi vai in vietnam a farti il dtv

Anonieme deelnemer Is that info somewhere on the website of the Thai embassy in Italy or just info from an agent?

I think 6 percent is quite a difference, and surely would not take the risk to apply with less than 500K

Anonymous participant Good Luck 🍀 the submission of additional documents requested by the Thai Embassy usually results in the processing time to start over again.

But it also says 500,000 THB, so I wonder what happens if you don't have 500,000 THB

It is pretty clear that you need 500k. Not sure this agency knows what they are talking about.

Which consulate are you applying at? None will accept less than 500k baht that I'm aware of but consulates do often want a higher figure as they use their own exchange rate
