Hello Everyone,

I hope to get some answers here from people who have experience with KL. (I read too late that it was the worst)

I applied for the DTV on the 06.11.2025 and they requested additional documents on the 10.11.2025 since there was a weekend in between. I uploaded all the documents the same day in the evening and since then heard nothing, no additional questions or requests.

But it's been 6 working days and since KL doesn't communicate I wanted to get some realistic time frames.

How long did it take for you guys to get approved after additional documents? I've read so many different things and really want only answers from people with KL experience.

Thanks in advance!

Applied for dtv with soft power Muay Thai yesterday 9:30 pm and got approved today 11:45 pm. Applied in Hanoi.

Sent last 3 months of bank statements + screenshot of my app (I had more than 500.000 baht so maybe this made that it went so quickly with approval)

Receipt of dinner in Hanoi, plane ticket to Hanoi, and 2 last pages of passport.

And boxing commission letter + invitation letter (info Muay Thai gym, proof payment for classes etc).

I had never expected it to go so fast after reading all the messages here! So wanted to share this experience here. It can go very fast! 😃

Has anyone recently been approved from Ottawa (Canada)? If yes, when did you apply? Thank you!

UK citizen - applied on Monday to London. DTV received Tuesday afternoon after submitting a few extra documents Monday afternoon. Bloody brilliant. (Posting incase anyone else was wondering about waiting times) 🙏🏽 Extra documents required - (a better photo, a pdf of my return ticket (not the screenshot I'd uploaded), and a letter from my job to confirm i can work in Thailand addressed to the Thai embassy)

Some body here apply DTV visa at Chicago and how many days got approved ?

## Dependent Visa Approved in Hanoi (3 working days)

Applied: September 29

Approved: October 2

I applied for a dependent visa through Issa Compass. My spouse has a soft power DTV with Arun Thai Cooking.

A few details:

* I previously overstayed my tourist visa by a few hours

* I previously held a non-B visa/stamp without a work permit (I decided not to work with the company)

* My non-B visa/stamp was automatically canceled when I left Thailand (no need to visit immigration)

Bank Statements:

I provided my personal bank statement showing 500k+ THB for the past 6 months. I also included my spouse’s bank statements, showing 1.5M+ THB.

For anyone who’s ever had additional document requests for DTV, after providing the documents, how long is the wait for approval then? Does it start from beginning?

What is the best country to apply for Dtv visa ?

Any Canadians apply for the DTV while in Asia? How long did it take to approve + did you use an agent or do it yourself?

Anyone that applied recently from Hanoi?

I've submitted my application by the 31th of July and have'nt got any response till the date which is more than 10 days already, does it make sense?

***update

Got approved today, thank you 😅
