What was the experience of applying for a Thai visa in Jakarta and what documents are needed?

Nov 14, 2024
a month ago
Came to Jakarta the day prior to submitting - 10/10.

Had 6 months of financials - they actually gave me back 4 months said only needed 2, but more is always better in this case imo.

Soft power documents- in my case Muay Thai

Documentation of flights in and out of Indonesia and accommodation

5.6m idr

And copy of passport with all stamps and bio page

Application filled out, signed and photos stapled already

I arrived at 645, the first person arrived at 3am straight from the airport. I was in and out before 10am my time at the window was literal minutes I had everything ready to go; was told to come back Thursday 10/14 and given a slip.

Retrieved it today and I did not see ANY rejections out of the 30ish people I talked too, so all applied for various reasons from soft power to medical to digital nomad.

Hope this is helpful they will close in person the 21st so if are considering I would book a flight asap

Cheers.

From the owners passport and his certification to the instructor certification to Gym documents and everything and in between.

Yes

I provided flight in flight out and accommodation bookings through Agoda

From what I ascertained it is needed; it’s part of the application. It asks when you’re going to Thailand and proposed time you will stay - and she gave me back everything she didn’t deem necessary so I don’t think she’d keep it if it wasn’t.

Thank you btw 🙏

Participant(e) anonyme thank YOU

I am in Jakarta now but I will only leave when I have my DTV. So they ask for your flight to Thailand before you know if you get DTV or not….

I should clarify my friend went a week prior and that’s what made my decision- plus getting pulled at immigration my last entry.

I just handed everything stated in the post and she gave me back a bunch of documents related to soft power and 4 months of statements but kept the flight itinerary- I assume to match up with what I wrote on the application

She honestly didn’t ask for anything or say much except 5.6m idr please that’s why I said I ascertained it is needed - maybe I should have worded it as assumed
