Hi all, my visa was approved on Oct 16th.

And I wanted to share my experience too for you all to apply.

1) Embassy Location: Fukuoka embassy, Japan

(I was a Tokyo resident as a Japanese national)

2) Timeline

Applied on at night on Oct 9th.

Asked for extra docs on Oct 15th, which I submitted in the morning on Oct 16th.

Got approved on the 16th in the evening when I was exhilarated.

3) Type: soft power(Muey Thai gym)

4) Requested more docs as below

* Accommodation booking document

I am staying with my Thai gf, so she gave me her condo contract, a cover letter and her ID.

* Flight booking confirmation

* Financial evidence: an amount of no less than 500,000 THB (e.g., bank statements for the last three months, sponsor letter): A bank statement showing transactions for the past three months (Aug - Oct).

Initially I submitted only the full amount of my savings.

Other request documents: Please scan all pages of the passport that contain entry or exit stamps and visa stickers.

It went all quick.

Hope it helps.

Thank You for your helpful report 👍

Congratulations 👏👏👏

PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.

That's what you should do... print it out.

You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.

Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.
