Has anyone applied for DTV from Indonesia? I am thinking to spend some time in Bali, & at the same time apply for dtv visa. I’d like to know how is the approval rate and processing time?

Hi! I just joined this group. I just wanted to say, it is odd to join a group for giving advice/sharing experiences if you find people seeking advice/sharing information "stupid" or "inept." I've refrained from asking questions because the aggression in some of the responses is unhinged and unnecessary. Hope this helps 🫶

Hi all, so I was planning to get my Non O visa in the UK and fly out next month to Bangkok, the intention was to get the 1 year extension visa on this trip.... given all these issues getting a bank account, is it now going to be impossible ? I didn't intend on using an agent and I was going to try and sort it myself in one of the bank branches...I would be grateful for any advise, as I'm currently stuck in limbo..

thanks.

Please could someone clarify exactly what this means, they have asked me for more info:

A deposit account shows the transactions last 6 months and the account balance or a combination of a deposit/saving account totaling not less than 500,000baht. Stock/Crypto/Bitcoin/Investment/Business/PayPal account and sponsor are not accepted

I previously sent them a statement from a brokerage trading account showing over 500k thb of assets. Do I have to sell my investments and transfer the cash to a checking account, and then show the latest statement from that? Is 1 month ok or do they need 6 months? Alternatively can I leave the cash in my brokerage account and just submit that? Thanks in advance.

Hello, I am thinking about applying for the DTV visa, but I wanted to know in which country the application is easiest to do, fastest and most likely to succeed. I see a lot of people doing it in Vietnam. I live in France but my file is not really complete
