DTV Visa Approved! (Soft Power - Muay Thai 6-month Course) 🥊🇹🇭

Passport: German 🇩🇪

Applied at the Berlin embassy (home country) on 26.05.

Initial application documents submitted:

* Muay Thai Gym Invitation Letter (Thx a lot to Wildcat Muay Thai)

* Passport & ID photos

* Proof of savings (meeting the 500k THB requirement)

Timeline & Additional Document Requests:

* 04.06: Asked for a professional photo (only official digital files from a photo studio are accepted).

* 05.06: Went to a studio and uploaded the file.

* 08.06: Asked for the latest tax assessment (*Steuerbescheid*) and proof of employment/income.

My Response: I sent the tax assessment and the proof of savings again, accompanied by a cover letter explaining my situation (Quit job to go train in Thailand, don't want to work in Thailand), the next day.

Status: Just got the approval today! 🎉

Quick question for the community: Tomorrow I want to apply for my wife as a dependent (DTV Dependent). Do you have any specific tips or advice for the dependent application through Berlin?

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.

Entonces cuando yo la solicite que en mi caso voy a dejar el trabajo o me voy a pedir una excedencia, les paso mis nóminas? Les digo en una carta que no trabajaré más para estudiar el muay Thai? Qué opinas! Un saludo y enhorabuena!!

Pruéba de empleo en los requisitos no pone, por eso digo, a menos que te lo hayan pedido ellos pro segunda vez, en este caso les diría que no voy a continuar con mi trabajo español y que los ingresos eran de ese trabajo aportándoles las nóminas o algo?

SpanishDTVinformation you didn't quit ur job until now right? So you can write in the letter that you require the 500k THB and will live through your savings and don't want to work in Thailand.

Yes, when they ask u for proof of income you just can write that you will quitting your job to train Muay Thai in Thailand. That you can live on your savings and do not intend or are forced to do a job locally in Thailand.

@Sinea ****

O dejarlo temporalmente hasta quién sabe cuando jajaja

Pero no recibiría ingresos en cuanto lo deje el trabajo…

Presentaría mi cuenta bancaria con más de 500k bath y estabilidad durante
***
meses si me lo piden
