Hi everyone !

I am a business owner and plan to submit an application in Hanoi in a few days.

I want to make sure before I submit all these forms:

I prepared -

- a business permit

- an accountant's permit,

- a bank permit,

- Bank transactions from the last six months - With 500 thousand baht in the account.

- photos from my advertising website,

- Receipts from the last two months

I would like to know from someone who has gone through the process in the last few days Are these all the documents or do I need to prepare something else?

I'm submitting the application towards the end of the month - do you think they will also ask me for July receipts?

DTV (Cooking Class)

Approved in 4 Working Days

Submitted: 4 July evening,

Approved: 10 July afternoon

Location: Hanoi Thai Consulate

Hanoi is still fair & efficient.

1-500,000 THB settled for 5 weeks (SGD bank statement with a short explanation for why I used it)

2-Financial Declaration Letter explaining support from my husband

3-Submitted 6-month bank statements from my husband’s account.

Got through BKK airport from Hanoi. First time using DTV (Workcation/Freelance) which I got from Hanoi on July 8. (Please see my application documents below)

Burmese (Myanmar) passport, with last two years of Thai language school visa history.

IO looked at my small (A6 size) print of DTV visa and asked "You work here?". I said "No, I worked only online for my organization in Myanmar". She nodded and scanned the visa. Then she flipped through my passport, took some time looking at my ED visa stamps but didn't ask anything. Then she stamped on the empty page.

Applied in Hanoi on July 2 (3:35 pm) - approved on July 8 (3:21 pm). 4 working days, no additional documents asked.

Application documents I submitted:

Workcation/Freelance docs:

- Cover Letter

- Freelance Translator (English - Burmese) Portfolio

- 2 Freelance contracts (I don't actually have contracts so I draft them up based on the work with 2 of my regular clients)

- 6 Invoices for the last six months

- Statement of Burmese bank account where I highlighted the incoming transactions matching the invoices (on average the monthly income I showed is less than 20K if converted to baht which I was a bit worried might be too low, but apparently it was fine)

Financial proof:

- 6 months bank statement with each month closing at 500,000 + baht (I used my Thai bank account for this - I have opened one with my ED visa two years ago)

- Bank certificate certifying that I have *,* in my account (my friend who was helping me with the prep suggested I get this so I did)

Location:

- all passport pages including the arrival stamp

- flight boarding pass

- hotel booking

And then, four working days (or six days cause I couldn't manage to apply till a Wednesday) later, approved.

Hope they're clear. Please ask if you have any questions.

This page has been a huge help to me. I wish everyone applying good luck too. Cheers, everyone.

Hello, I have a question about the 500000 THB financial requirement. Has anyone been approved or know of someone who’s been approved with funds that were recently transferred? The funds I submitted were 3 months worth, but in an investment account, which I realized isn’t acceptable. I just transferred the funds to my checking account and plan to send this documentation once they hit. I’d like to know if this is sufficient. Applying from the Jakarta embassy.

In Vientiane Laos, during the interview, do they only check the bank statement you submitted on your mobile banking app? The thing is that the one I submitted has minimal transaction activities since it’s my saving account. I have a different bank account for daily use and receiving international payments, then transfer most of the money to my saving account. And in that case, will they check both accounts?

TIA

Applying as a long term resident of Taiwan. The visa office sent me to the National Immigration Agency for proof of current location.

For the proof of 500k in assets, the instructions say 3 months of bank statements, but my bank's statements are generated only on a certain day of the month. Do I just have to wait or can I paste together a web printout of my recent transactions (showing that I transferred 500k THB into by account)? Instead of showing both deposits and expenditures/withdrawals, can I just show deposits since this is more private?

Also I've seen a few people say Taiwan requires 6 months of bank statements, even though the application says 3 months.

Hi everyone,

I'm preparing to apply for the DTV (Destination Thailand Visa) and would appreciate your input.

I currently work remotely for a company based outside of Thailand, earning around $1,000 USD/month.

In addition, I receive $2,000 USD/month from renting out a property in my home country.

Both sources are well-documented — I have a work contract, bank statements, and a rental agreement.

I also meet the required bank balance of 500,000 THB.

👉 My question is:

Will this combination of income (remote work + rental income) be viewed positively by the embassy?

Specifically, does the rental income help support or strengthen the application?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience or any insights 🙏

If I have 2 accounts in the same bank, one with more than 500k (savings account) and one with less (main account) and my online work payments go into the one with less than 500k, would this be a problem for me when applying for DTV?

I am the owner of an American LLC and my bank accounts are listed under the LLC. I can prove through my state's LLC records that I am the sole director of the LLC, would i have any issues that the money is not in a personal bank account?

DTV via Thai Embassy in UK: Does anyone know if they accept bank statements from Revolut? Thanks.
