Hello everybody,

I am applying for my DTV in Hanoi right now. I am going the soft power route with a cooking class. I have no online income but do have bankstatements that reach the requierments and a sponsorship letter from my parents that will support me with a monthly budget. I also do work in Germany as a freelance socialworker from time to time, but I do that like once a year to save up money for the rest of the year (wouldnt want to show proof for that income, because back then I didn't meet the financial savings requirements if that would be a problem). What is the best way of putting this information into the online application for the DTV Visa? Do I put in my freelance status if I am currently not working and my last pay was months ago? Where do I attatch my sponsorship letter to proof I can financially sustain myself? Any answer would be highly appreciated

Good morning. I was approved for a medical DTV. My spouse will accompany me. What type of application will they apply for and what documentation does they need to send in? Thank you.

DTV application as a spouse

Hi!

I have been trying to find a post regarding my question for my DTV application as spouse. I couldn’t find anything regarding my question and I hope some of you have some experience since before.

My wife got her DTV approved a few days ago. I will now apply for mine. Do you know if they are strict with the 500k in the bank account for 3 months as they were for my wife. I’ve had mine for around 1 month.

If they are do you know a way that might help my application and getting it approved.

Thanks in advance.

I wanted to ask if anyone has experience getting the DTV (soft power) and being approved with a sponsorship letter from a member of family? Specifically I will be applying in the UK (my home country) and it would be easier for me to supply this rather than have 500,000 THB in my own bank. Thank you for any answers or advice.

Hello,

Has anyone applied for DTV with sponsorship letter from employer?

My company is ready to give me bank statements and sponsorship letter so I would like to get in touch with someone who already did it and got approved.

Please reach out if you applied this way.

My partner has a DTV and we are getting married in a few months and I was thinking to get a DTV off his as a spouse. Would I need to follow the same rules for the financial part or can I get away with a sponsor letter as my partner will be the one supporting financially whenever we are in Thailand

Hi everyone!

I’m applying for a visa and I don’t have enough funds in my personal bank account to meet the financial requirement. My father is willing to support me and sponsor me, but I’m not sure what kind of documents I need to provide to show this.

Does anyone know what I should prepare?

For example:

A sponsorship letter from my father?

Proof of his income or bank statements?

A declaration that he will cover my expenses?

If anyone has experience with this or has gone through something similar, I would really appreciate your advice. Thank you so much!

Sponsorship Letter in Laos

Has anyone been approved with a sponsorship letter from their parents in Laos to be the primary holder of the DTV? To be clear, my parents are not applying for the DTV but they would be sponsoring me.

If not, which countries have success rates with a sponsorship letter? I have a few friends who applied from the US successfully, but I’m already in Southeast Asia. Could I leave Thailand and say I’m in the US to apply? My friends were in Europe but said they were in the US.

Thank you in advance!

Hi everyone, I have a question about the DTV Soft Power visa.

I’m planning to apply around 18 December. The required 500k THB is in my parents’ account, not mine. If I transfer the money into my own account now, will that be a problem? Do they check how long the funds have been there, or only the balance on the application day?

I was planning to apply in Ho Chi Minh, but I can change cities if needed.

If anyone has recent experience, what should I be careful with? Any common reasons for rejection I should avoid?

Thanks a lot for any advice.
