Hello. I'm applying for the DTV via soft power. My soft power activity offers a visa service for ฿5k. Will hiring this service help to ensure my DTV gets approved? Here are the requirements via the Chicago Embassy, which I would be applying out of online.
It just says "a copy of a recent bank statement". It doesn't give any number of months required. I have 2 months of statements showing a good amount over ฿500k.
I'm currently not employed but receive government benefits which are reflected on my bank statements and are substantial enough to support me while I'm in Thailand. My soft power activity told me this wouldn't be a problem.
Just wondering if the service offers a higher likelihood of approval for me or not, or if I should try to apply on my own.
Thanks for the help and information!
