Which embassy is the easiest to apply for the DTV Soft Power visa without a seasoning requirement for the 500k?
I’m planning the DTV Soft Power visa and trying to figure out the best place to apply. Which city is the easiest right now with no “seasoning” requirement for the 500k? I was thinking Ho Chi Minh, but open to changing if another embassy is smoother.
If anyone’s done it recently, would love to know which city is the most straightforward and not picky about how long the money has been sitting there. ( Will have it for about 3weeks by then)
Thanks a lot.

Answer summary
A user is exploring the best city to apply for the DTV Soft Power visa without the conditioning of having 500,000 baht in their account for three months. They consider Ho Chi Minh City but are open to other options based on the ease of application and requirements. Comments suggest that Ho Chi Minh is generally straightforward, but the standard guideline of needing three months of bank statements is consistently mentioned. There is uncertainty about any embassies not enforcing the seasoning requirement.

They may want to see 3 full months of statements but as long as the 3rd month has an ending balance of 500k baht that should be OK. Be aware though that with soft power they can also ask you to show how you will be able to support yourself for the 5 years duration of the visa

Not sure there’s any embassy that doesn’t require 500k seasoning

As far as I am aware you can not open a Bank account with a DTV Visa.

The formal general requirement is that the amount must have been in the account for at least three months before you can apply. I have no overview of consulates that do not follow this according to the guidelines, but in general there is consistent feedback that applying for a DTV in Ho Chi Minh City is quite straightforward
