DTV visa approved - my experience:

Currently in the UK so I applied via the e-visa website, so the UK Thai consulate handled everything. 

Couple of interesting points to mention:

- it only took 4 days to approve

- the 500k was only transferred to my UK bank account a week before I applied. I only provided my august 2024 bank statement - they didn't ask for anything else

- part of that 500k was a small loan from my parents. When they transferred the money to my bank account they put "loan" as the reference. This didn't cause any issues or raise any questions.

- I applied via the medical tourism route. I asked my dentist to write me a letter detailing a couple of appointments that I have during September and next year.

Overall, I would say that my experience of applying for the DTV was incredibly easy and straightforward. Very quick and no questions asked.

Happy to answer any questions relating to my specific experience.

If you apply in person to an Embassy, you get a physical stamp. Online applications receive a PDF with the visa. Upload your pic online.
