DTV approved just now! Canberra, Australia Consulate.

Thank you to a few anonymous posters for their advice, I was considering just using an agent and doing the soft power route even though I am self employed - until reading their posts and I am very glad I did it myself! Super super easy. Had everything ready before I started (took me maybe an hour to prepare) and uploaded and submitted the application within 30 mins.

Type - Business Owner/director

Submitted: 12th Feb

Additional documents requested: 14th Feb they asked for proof of financials of the 500k thb, strangely I had already uploaded 2 different screenshots including a bank statement, but it seems they preferred a proof of balance letter from my bank which only showed the amount on that date, in AUD. I also showed well over the 500k minimum on all 3 screenshots. 

Approved: 19th Feb at 5pm

Proof of location: Australian drivers license

Paperwork: Cover letter + employment contract from me to myself, signed only by me, proof of balance letter from bank, THB to AUD conversion rate screenshot, ASIC business extract 

Flight number: Flight number into bkk in 2 weeks, no exit flight

Is proof of flights to Thailand mandatory? Why would I book flights before I have an approved visa? For our family, my husband has to apply for DTV first and myself & 3 kids then follow on sponsor visas. It seems silly to book flights for 5 people when we don’t know if everything will go ahead.

Anonymous participant 262 I used the Thai e-visa official website, there is a section that asks you for your flight number into Thailand, and you can’t proceed to the next stage or complete the application without it.

Are you applying through Canberra? What type of visa is he applying under?

Anonymous participant yes, Canberra. I’m not sure what his category is called. Same one as above I believe. He has his own business and works online.

Anonymous participant 262 Canberra embassy is so straight forward, and efficient it’s nearly a guarantee he will be approved. As long as you follow the steps exactly and provide everything they require (including flight number) I see no reason why they wouldn’t approve him 🙏🏽
