Hey All (For the brits)

I applied for DTV via the online London Embassy on the 19th they responded on the 20th asking for further documents

Other request documents: - Your recent (balance within last 30 days ) personal (cash flow / current account )UK/Ireland bank statement shows your name, your UK/Ireland address, and a minimum closing balance of 11,000 GBP (Screenshots are not accepted).

* Other request documents: - Self assessment tax return / Statement of accounts / Accountant's letter / Personal tax calculation or computation statement from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) (Apart form your name , you can conceal any details that you would not want to show.)

* Other request documents: - Please upload the confirmation letter addressed to the Royal Thai Embassy, London , certify / introduce yourself , your working status and the reason of work remotely in Thailand .

I originally sent them a stocks and shares ISA which didn't work so I'll send them a bank account this week

What is everyone doing about confirmation letter? lol

I went through all this just like you because I’m self-employed, I went around in Circles for days, finally they just asked me if I wanted to switch the category from remote worker to soft power activities, I immediately said yes, I was approved the next day after I got a letter from my dentist in Hua Hin, in retrospect, I should’ve just applied under the soft power category in the first place

hello! Can i ask you about the dentist, you just needed to show them that you want to do a singular visit with the dentist to obtain it? You received a paper letter or a email?

no it’s more complicated than that, you need a full estimate on the letterhead from the Dentist, in my case I asked for a quote for seven crowns to be removed and new ones put in, I asked them to put in a panoramic x-ray, a full cleaning and a check up, comprehensive dental work, not just an appointment, the dentist signed the letter, but my wife and I already have a relationship with this dentist so that made it easier
