Hello All, I am applying for the DTV visa. For the 10000 baht fees, did you pay a bit more with the conversion rate?

As I can see on my side, it shows the fee in my local currentcy on the payment page, which equals to 13356 baht.

Just wanna check if it is normal? Or am I on the wrong application site?😅

Admin if this post is acceptable I would appreciate the groups input

Interested to hear feedback on what seems to be a unique situation.

Applied DTV online 12th November using Malaysia as my application country (Australian passport holder with long term resident visa in Malaysia)

Received email request next day for 6 documents to be provided with two needing "Embassy authentication" (Malaysian Foreign affairs department authentication with notary endorsement as my company and employment contract are both Malaysian)

Managed to get both these completed in one day and submitted Thursday 14th along with passport all pages, proof of rental in Thailand and proof of income (even though funds proof had been provided)

Everything was perfect, until it wasn't..

Status show awaiting approval and then a system email was received stating

"Your visa application has been cancelled. Applicant’s date of expiry passport provided is incorrect with passport biodata page. (13 Sep 2033)

*Please note this is an auto generated e-mail. Please do NOT reply to this email."

(yes, 13th Sept 2033 is the correct expiry date)

I emailed Thai embassy with the passport attached showing the expiry as correct but received no reply

Has anyone experienced anything like this

#Note. When I loaded the biodata page at the beginning of the application as requested, the auto page came up stating passport expiry 1933 as below photo

I edited the application as instructed but I can only think that there is a web page glitch and I seem to have no recourse

Any advice would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏻🙏🏻

DTV application successful and approved.

Muay Thai- soft power. Tiger Eye MMA.

I went to Danang Vietnam because I used to live there. It’s a great city with a beautiful beach and peninsula. Great restaurants and hotels, all cheap.

I applied on HCMC embassy visa online visa.

Two days after I applied they requested further documents. They asked for all the paperwork from the gym. Owner passport, ID, etc. combine all the documents onto one PDF when you upload them.

Two days later it was approved.

Total time for approval was five days.

I am very happy because I love being in Thailand. It is my second home and I already train Muay Thai. It’s a massive passion of mine.

Good luck to you all. It wasn’t complicated to do at all. You definitely do not need an agent for this.

Phnom Penh - Submitted 07.11. - Approved 16.11.

Before 1 year on ED Visa (cancelled at Immigration before) - also multiple border runs before!

I want everyone here to keep calm, specially my German people… It’s a super easy process if you’re not lying and everything they want to see is that you’re able to take care of yourself! It’s not applying for being president… it’s Thailand 🇹🇭 also a lot of people in Facebook groups just repeating things that they read or heard from random people somewhere else ….

I submitted:

- 3 months bank statements (showing 500K and salary income) from my online banking and translated via google translate.

- 3 months payment slips

- Employment Contract (Google Translate)

- Entry Stamp Cambodia

- Passport and Picture

That’s it! Very simple used my iPhone for scanning 😅 all good!

Hope this info helps someone. I received my DTV successfully a few days ago from the Thai embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia (took 4 days) using Muay Thai Fever Gym in Chiang Mai (B15,000 for 6 months -1 private lesson per week[or fewer months if you choose to have more lessons a week, I guess]). Derry (the gentleman who does the admin) turned out to be extraordinarily thorough in doing the paperwork; he provided everything necessary and the embassy only looked at a few of the documents. The gym also has champion 🏆 instructors, really really positive people and very good equipment. 👍 10 mins from Nimman Hemin Rd.

Jakarta was full of really nice and friendly people who bent over backwards to make sure I was OK/happy; people in the embassy, restaurant workers, taxi drivers, kids in the street saying hello to me and giving me hi 👋 5's. Only downside was the pollution. It was also very cheap to stay there. I stayed at 'Ameera Inn' for 6 days (B2,000).

Hi wanted to mention Quees Victoria Inn on Soi 6 did a great job yesterday orchestrating a quick visa run to Penom Phen Cambodia for a quick in and out exchanging my tourist visa stamp to my new DTV one that got approved almost two months ago. I'm sure some could have figured out how to drive themselves there, but I was more concerned with not wanting to spend a night or more there if I didn't have to. Queen Vic got 7 of us there and back by 2:49pm comfortably. It seemed like the first time the Immigration lady saw a DTV printed out as she asked me how much I had to pay for it.

Yay!

Submitted online to Budapest embassy on November 11th

Status changed to “pending approval” on November 12th

Received email confirmation of approval on November 13th

Thank you to all who have shared their experiences and insights beforehand. You really helped make this a seamless process!

Got approved for DTV Visa finally! After 2 weeks in Phnom Penh 😅. Wanted to share my experience and what documents I submitted because I never found any clear advice on this for my situation.

For reference, I make my money online through my social media so everything was kind of vague because I don’t work for a company and don’t really have any contracts or anything.

1. Business Portfolio

I created a document that gave a breakdown of my business (social media and digital marketing), I gave them my EIN Tax ID, and a copy of a letter that I got from IRS with my EIN on it. I don’t have an LLC. Described my products and services with screenshots of my social media and website. Showed screenshots of my sales reports from my payment processors. Lastly, a letter from US Embassy in Bangkok that shows they are not able to verify my income while I’m abroad.

2. Bank Statements

They don’t specifically give any timeline for bank statements or how far back you need to go. So I submitted 6 months of bank statements. I took a screenshot of my current balance. Then the first month (September) had the full statement, the other 4 months had just the cover page showing my balances.

3. Proof of location

Cambodia gives you a sticker in your passport when you arrive that has your name, and tourist visa information. I took a picture of that, and also included my hotel reservation and flight booking into the country.

Summary from my experience. The e-visa system makes things really unclear and you’re not able to get any validation before submitting documents. So my advice is to just overkill the paperwork. Especially if you’re like me and your work is not so cut and dry. I know I went way overboard but I hope that’s what got me approved. I know the turnaround times are different for every county but Phnom Penh took exactly 10 business days which is 2 weeks. Wayyyyy too long. They updated this waiting period after I booked my flight and hotel lol. Had I known, I definitely would have spent the extra money to go somewhere quicker.

Hello everyone! Has anyone applied for a visa in Tokyo? I'm currently in Thailand on an O visa, but I want to get a DTV visa when I return to Japan. (I'm a Japanese citizen)

Once the DTV visa is obtained, anybody has experience if the documents (e.g. bank balance etc) are checked again upon re entry or upon extension within Thailand ? Thank you
