Thank you all members on this group for the helpful information. I just got my DTV softpower Visa! 🍀
I was many times in Thailand, try to stay in Thailand without a visa up to 6 month, but last time they took me out to explain me that I need a good visa. So after I fly to my homecountry Austria i contact the Thai embassy in Vienna via email for more information about the DTV and the 500.000Thb, they want to see. They told me, they also except online bank account statements (English!) from Revolut, but the money have to stay minimum 3 month! I ask if a saving account on revolut also ok, but never get answer 🤣 so I transfer all my money to my revolut main account, hold in around 14000€, and use this account all the time for spending in Supermarkt, shopping in Austria 🇦🇹 I think it’s also a proof that you stay in Austria while you apply, because I heard the embassy in Vienna, that they like to invite you for a interview. And when you live far away it’s not easy to take time and go there. So I was lucky- no interview!
Here are the facts:
September 12> my agent in 🇹🇭 check and apply all the documents for me (cost me 5500THB) including the papers from MuayThaiCourse 6Month/2Class (28000THB)
Meanwhile I was working and waiting in Austria and was shocked that I got this message:👇
September 17th> Nachforderung:
- A cover letter explaining your current profession and how it aligns with the DTV requirements-
So I just wrote some letter, explaining my job, my company, my income and ask my boss for a extra confirmation that I am able to go to Thailand long time and I am able to work again in the future whenever I want because him have many company’s so it’s easy to quit and start again. All this I send in English and wait until yesterday evening (25.9) to get My DTV! ✅
… so it took me 13days including weekends. Some nights I was not able to sleep, because I was thinking they not want to give me the visa for some reason, because many people book the MuayThai school, but never go. I payed a lot so I also want to use. Anyway I need more sport activities! 🤣 I am happy that everything is done, I think it will be harder in the future to get this kind of Visa.
Wish you all good luck
