I want to apply for a DTV visa. Could you tell me what documents are required and how much it costs if I have someone handle the application for me?

Hello,

I have a bit of an odd situation. I have a DTV, and am living with my long-term GF from Europe who doesn't have. Immigration has become more strict and having doubts she'll be let back in when we go back.

We can't do dependent DTV because Thailand doesn't recognise common law marriage.

However it just so happens we'll be travelling to Taiwan in a couple of days, and I've just emailed their embassy. The embassy says we can apply through the E-Visa Portal, and we have to comply with the requirements set out on their embassy website.

The thing is, on their embassy website, it doesn't specify the need to hold 500k Thai Baht for 3 months, just that you have 500k Thai Baht in the Account and can prove it.

*"Financial evidence: amount of no less than 500,000 THB OR equivalent amount in foreign currency e.g. bank statements OR sponsorship letter covering living expenses."*

In that case, I'm pondering a few things and would appreciate any insight or help into any of the points.

1) Could I just transfer her like 20k EUR from my account a couple of days before, and would that suffice? No need for 3 month proof when reading their site...

2) If the visa application was taking too long, could we cancel it before they've completed their review? We only have a set amount of days in Taiwan, and we're due back to Thailand for a wedding on the 3rd of Dec. All flights and accommodation booked, so I dont want to lose it.

Hello everyone!

As a French citizen, embassy is asking me to show that I have 15k€ on my bank account for the last 3 months to get a DTV. I’ve got the money right now on my bank account, got it every month of the year, just not in October. Is there any chance that would still be accepted by immigration? Or I need to wait February to apply to have 3 months with more than 15k€ on my accounts?

If anyone can testimony that they got denied or accepted, I would love that. Thank you and have a good day 🌞

Has anyone done a dtv for medical care for themselves or their children? This is actually the main reason we want to come to Thailand so we are considering that route instead of a class?

Does "pending approval" mean that all documents have been accepted?

Hi guys, im applying for the dtv and im curious if someone can confirm i will get it. I’m building a website which will possibly bring in some revenue in a few months perhaps longer. So I’m applying for the visa based on that, from ChatGPT it said I should get it as I have savings - around 300k AUD I can show so I suppose Thailand would be happy to take me in? Can anyone confirm if a business currently making 0 will get approval as they can stay and have the $ to build it over time? Thanks. Just hoping I can get some people saying yes and no crazy obstacles or no point paying with a no.

Can you help me quickly? My wife is applying for a DTV visa in Laos or Malaysia, and once she gets it, I'd like to apply for a DTV visa as her spouse. What other documents do I need for my application? We only have our marriage certificate in German 😬 Do we need to have it certified in English? Or is a translation sufficient? It's all a bit chaotic right now. I hope you can help.

Hello guys, I am in Laos at right know and would like to apply for the DTV Visa. But would prefer with an agency to make sure it works directly. Has anyone of you a recommendation?

Hello! I’m planning to apply through workation next month in Taipei. One question - my contract renews every quarter, and I’ll have only about 1.5 months left when I apply. Will this be an issue?

I have my previous contracts and pay slips from the same company without any gaps.

Thank you in advance!

Hi everyone! 👋

I'm looking to apply for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) soon, and I'm planning to apply in the Philippines.

Has anyone in this group successfully completed their DTV application in Manila recently?
