What are the requirements for applying for a soft power DTV visa at the DC Embassy, particularly regarding funds seasoning?
Has anyone applied at the DC Embassy for a soft power DTV visa using the following information: (really it’s a funds seasoning question)
Cooking classes signed up for.
Monthly income minimum guaranteed $1500.00 usd
Savings :100,000+ (but it is “unseasoned” due to being from the sale of a home)
(All other requirements met)
I’ve had a friend say his money was in his account a few weeks before he applied and was approved.
I would like to move sooner but the seasoning of funds is the only “disqualification” hindering that.
Should I go ahead Thailand and leave after when it’s seasoned and apply in Vietnam?

As most DTV, it is Embassy dependant, so search for your favorite Embassy

There is no 3 month seasoning requirement in DC. Final balance of 500k THB/equivalent currency is key.
