DTV approved - 5 business days, 2 additional document requests. Submitted 02 Jan 2025. Approved approx. 4 hours after second document request.

I'm in Australia (a local), run my own company, did not have 500,000tbh in cash to show.

Financial evidence:

- Contents page (found this to be very helpful as my second document request was for the same thing as the first and I forgot to update the contents page)

- Sponsor letter from family member

- Driver's license of family member

- Evidence of the 500,000thb in their accounts (document request updates were for updated statements)

- My personal tax return summary for the last 2 lodged years.

- Company P&L for previous tax year as not yet lodged.

Employment evidence:

- Contents page

- ASIC Company Registration

- Shareholders register of company (showing I'm sole shareholder)

- ABR Company extract

- Letter from company approving remote work

- Employment contract for myself from company (this was an additional document request)

- Link to my company website

- Links to portfolio of existing clients/work.

Thanks to all the comments and answers to other questions in the group, really helped me get this done in record time. Hope the detail helps someone else out!

Hello, I submitted a DTV visa and i'm reading that not all embassies accept a family member like a mother as a sponsor.

I'm applying to Madrid embassy and I have spanish passport. Do you guys know if this is true?

There are so much confusing info, like some people say I need to submit a 6mo statement, which means I need to have the 500k for long time to make sure it is not a single loan, and other say that adding those 500k one time is enough.

That's why my mother is sponsoring me, do you guys have any idea about it?

also, do you know how much time can I expect to have the approval?

Thanks for your help!!

Has anyone received a DTV using a sponsorship letter instead of the B500k in a bank account? does this sponsorship letter come from employer, or can I as a parent provide that in the case of my daughter thanks

I'm asking this question in reverse this is about Thais getting work visa's to go to Australia , I own a company and employ many foreigners in Australia on WHV but my partner is thai and I would really like to get her brother to Australia to work for me, even if it is only a short period, I've asked Australian solicitors and they tell me Australia has no agreement with thailand so the old 457 doesn't apply and never met a thai on a WHV am I missing an obvious solution to this issue ??

Can I convert my Tourist Visa (currently on a 60 day extension) to an Education Visa?

And if so, can I also sponsor my family to stay with me in Thailand?
