Hubby and I are about to start the DTV process.

1. Do we need to show proof of income plus the 500,000bht or either or?

2. Can anyone suggest a Visa specialist they've used?

In order to respond to all those who asked me what additional documents the embassy asked me for before approval, see the summary of requirements below:

Requested Documents:

1. Biodata page of your passport

2. Official bank statement issued directly by your bank (via official website or physical branch).

Must include: your full name as account holder, transaction history, and most updated balance.

Note Screenshots are not accepted.

3. Proof of current location in Spain. Examples include: electricity bill, municipal registration certificate (padrón), or rental agreement under your name.

4. Proof of last 3 self-employment payments (autónomo). Official receipts or confirmations of your last three freelance/self-employed tax or social security contributions.

5. Concise overview of your professional activities in Thailand. A short explanation of my business or professional engagements during my stay in Thailand.

Include how you will generate income while residing there.

6. Concrete evidence of your job. Documents that demonstrate and verify your professional status (portfolio, client list, contracts, content, etc.).

Is there any way to find out which embassies accept just 3 months of bank statements? Or could we start putting together a list that shows which ones accept 3 months and which ones require 6? It would really help people trying to prepare the right documents.

I am American trying to get O-A visa. I am getting grief about the medical form I submitted. The embassy staff in Washinton are asking for a stamp with proof of the doctor office.

I requested this from my doctor, but they do not have any type of stamp. Everything is electronic. My doctor was surprised to fill out a paper form.

I attached his business card to the form and it is not being accepted either.

Any advice? And be respectful please.

The embassy in hcm asked for further docs. I have to wait for my bank's approval for additional docs. Do you guys know how many days we have time between that? after how many days will they cancle it?

I went to the Immigration office in Cha-am to apply for non-O ret extension a couple of days ago.

I had all the papers needed,,,,but,,,,yes,,,its a BUT,,😁

I had the paper from the Norwegians emdassy for proof of income,,,,but the lady told me that since it is the first time applying fir this,they also want that same paper from the Thai consulate in BKK.

As time is about to be an issue and I can not go to BKK,,,She told me that if I pay 2000thb extra,,,they will give me the stamp and fix the paper for me after,,,,

I never heard about needing this document from both places,,,,,so maybe it is valid information for others to notice 👍

Hi, Please can I ask -- When an embassy requests additional documentation for an online application for DTV, do you know how quickly we have to submit it? (I mean after how many days or weeks do they scrap/annul the application if they are still waiting for the additional documents?) I don't have some of the stuff they want immediately to hand, but I reckon I can arrange it, with a bit of time... I applied via London embassy (online). Thank you!

Also... They have requested a UK tax return or accountant's letter (or similar). They say I can black out everything bar my name. I haven't yet submitted my tax return for year from April 2023 to March 2024 (i.e. the latest year)... (It's due January 31 latest). So any tax return I give them would look more than a year old. I am thinking of submitting an accountant's letter, therefore. Do you know what the letter should say? Maybe she (my accountant) knows how these things are done... but in case she needs instructions, I'm wondering what I should say....

I applied for the DTV visa. Now, they’re asking for my tax returns from the last two years. Do they want to assess my income, or do they just want to know if I’m paying taxes?

My thai embassy requires a letter of Ministry of education of Thailand for DTV muay thai program
