What was the experience and outcome of your DTV-Soft Power visa application in Thailand?
After reading some of the recent rejections in Hanoi, we definitely considered alternative destinations, but decided to go ahead anyway as it’s a solid application.
Application was submitted May 4 for DTV- Soft Power, Medical. Medical treatment plan for one year from Wattanaphat Hospital, Koh Samui. 500k in bank account x 3 full months. Hanoi is clear about this requirement.
Status went to pending approval within 4 hours. Then no change at all until this morning, no further documentation requested. Approved 18 May exactly 2 week after submission. No other questions asked.
Has a long history of visa-exempt entries and exemptions. But caused no issues. And Vietnam is fantastic location for getaway vacation anyway.
Lots of good advice here on this page. Thanks

Todd McGowan I see it's you and your wife question did you have to have joint account or if separately did each account have to have the amount request for visa per person. Hope my question makes sense.
