Quick question, do I need to get my DTV application approved before submitting my dependent family members applications? Or all at once? (Applying in Penang)

When the DTV Nomad is approved, how much time do we have to come to Thailand? Is there a time 'validity' before the departure of the country of origin to Thailand until get the stamp when we receive the approval from the embassy?

Hello, guys!

I have confusion with the 500k requirement:

did you have to show the bank statement with 500k total for the 6 months, or 500k for every month?

I will apply next week, so i will be very appreciate for little help!

Soft Power HCMC update

I know a lot of people doing applying through HCMC for soft power visa have had some trouble, so I'll post my update.

After I submitted my initial application with all of my documents, I got a request for further documentation 2 days later. They were asking for proof of income.

I then submitted a letter explaining that my application was for soft power activities (muay thai training), and that I was unemployed. I confirmed that I will not be working in Thailand. I also included 6 months from statements from my brokerage account and my Neo bank account, to explain that this is where the recent lump sum of money into my bank account came from, and also this is where I would gather funds from to pay for any other large unexpected expenses.

I then got approval for my visa 2 days later, and now I have the 5 year DTV. The only thing is that they made a remark on the acceptance saying employment prohibited ; I'm not sure if it's normal or important, but I don't think it will matter anyways since I don't plan to be employed in Thailand

Hi there,

I am applying for the DTV visa. I’m working for 2 different foreign companies.

Which employment contract should I include in the application? One of them or both?

Thank you so much,

Marco

Hi everyone, I am preparing my documents for the DTV. I am currently in Thailand and will leave the country to apply for the visa. I am considering Taipei because it looks like one of the fastest plasces to get it done, from what i have read in this group. Does anyone have experience obtaining the DTV in Taipei since they moved to the online system? How long did it take you?

Hi all. I'm applying for DTV. I'm planning to be in Thailand by March. Do I have to wait 30 days before entering Thailand to apply for the DTV online or can I do it now?

Thanks!

Two questions:

1) if you are self employed do they want professional portfolio or just business license / info etc

2)if you arrive with dtv do you need to show return plane ticket ?

If it helps I’m from the USA. Thanks 🙏

Hi,

For the bank statement requirement, may I just deposit the required amount and produce an official statement with this amount recently deposited? Or the required amount has to show in the balance for 3 months?

Would it be better to just produce a letter stating that i have at least x amount in my account?

5 year DTV visa for a passport that expire in 3 years.

Does the visa expire with the passport or does it go to the new passport? Should I just make a new passport before applying for visa?
