Hi, my DTV visa was approved in HCMC on first try. Quite surprised as I am in my early 20s (M) but I’d say I really wrote a 10/10 cover letter communicating my work and future plans very well. I applied under the soft power category.

My girlfriend is a Chinese citizen (29F) and she got rejected twice in HCMC and Hanoi. Her application is quite strong with a strong stock portfolio and real estate in China besides the 500k baht requirement. She also had recurring income. Both of us used the same Muay Thai school but only she got rejected.

Desperately looking for any advice on what our next steps should be? What embassy should she re-apply from as a Chinese citizen? Also, open to chat with any lawyers if you have recommendations.

Good morning,

I’m curious if any families have successfully received their DTV, if you were able to show 500,000 for the whole family vs per person and if so where? My friend got her families approved in Cambodia but I’m just curious if there was anywhere else. No embassy has answered my inquiry emails back yet 😅

Approved today in Hanoi!

I went with softpower (Muay Thai) using Wildcat Muay Thai gym in Chiang Mai.

Details:

* Applied: Aug 18th

* Approved: Aug 25th

* 3 months bank account slips provided, 500k in all 3 months

* Picture of arrival stamp + selfie outside Hanoi Airport to prove being in Vietnam

* No request for additional documents. Status went from Pending Document Check -> Pending Approval -> Approved

* Ed visa canceled before I left Thailand, just to be safe

I highly recommend Wildcat Muay Thai gym - I have been training here for a long time and the owner helped me with everything, even set up the application for me and uploaded all documents, so all I had to do was log in at the end to submit and pay the fee.

So happy! Huge relief to have a 5 year visa! 🇹🇭

I am from Bangladesh with a Bangladeshi passport ( obviously). I am looking into DTV through soft skills ( cooking schools for now). I will be applying from Bangladesh. I checked the feed but couldn’t find if anyone from Bangladesh had success in this. Any leads on this will be very helpful.
