Ok so I am looking to get a residency certificate to buy a bike and the immigration center I went to asked me for the usual stuff (tm30, passport, photo) but also for all my dtv docs, meaning bank statements and Muay Thai course. Problem is I am in an island in the south and my Muay Thai course is in the North. What to do?

Received approval for my DTV today from Hanoi, Vietnam. For anyone wondering, I submitted on the 20th of January under soft power using the Muay Thai gym called Tiger Eye (highly recommend).

I submitted a few months of compiled bank statements, proof of my passport stamp into Vietnam and all the documents supplied by the gym.

Vietnam New Year celebrations start from tomorrow onwards, so I was praying I’d get the approval beforehand. I hope everyone else also waiting like me gets approved today also 🙏🏼

Very grateful for this group existing, made me feel confident applying myself and not using an agent. Now it’s time to celebrate with 1 million bia hoi and as many banh mi as I can stomach before coming back to the place I can now call home - Thailand 😁

I want to thank everyone in this group for all the great information. I would also like to thank Fight EVO 360 in Pattaya for the support and quick responses. Applied with Muay Thai training.

Applied 20 Jan early morning

Request for more info 21 afternoon

Pending approval 22 Jan immediately after upload

Approved 24 Jan around 1330

* I provided 6 months of bank statements just to be sure

* Passport entry stamp to Vietnam and hotel receipt

* Fight EVO 360 provided a very thorough package with all required information minus the work permit.

The request for more information was because my original paperwork had the US director on it and they asked for his work permit info. He is on holiday so the Thai director assisted and provided his information. I was really worried because I forgot about TET next week and was thinking I would be stuck here for another week and a half. Again thank you all for all the great info as I was worried and overthinking things way too much.

I have basic saving account which is more than 500k THB in my bank statement but it is not my bank card money since it is a saving account which makes money if you leave the money on it

Just wanted to confirm my intuition that this bank statement is fine as a proof of 500k THB?

Hello everyone,

I have a question related to bank statement. As I know they want bank statement for 6 months and I have 13 pages bank statement each month. All of these pages is Spanish and i find an agency for translate it into English with 30$/ page. That means i need to pay 2340$ just for translation and it doesn’t make sense. Or do i just need to translate the main page that shows the latest money in my bank? Thanks so much

Question about the DTV application in Vietnam (I will probably apply in Ho Chi Minh), has anyone shown proof of funds in a savings account instead of a current account, and was this accepted? And did you need to produce 3 months of bank statements or 6? Thanks! It's been super confusing to work out with some certainly what we'll need

Argh, think I cocked up, seeing people saying mixed things about the bank statements (I applied from HCMC btw, in Da Nang atm).

I uploaded a 3 month bank statement with 16k GBP, reckon this will be all ok?

Anyone else get approved with just a 3 month statement?

I don't mind if they request additional ones for another 3 months but it'll be a bit of a pain. Many thanks in advance!

Hi all,

Just need some advice if possible:

Can you help with the below and how to respond:

Other request documents: - Your recent (balance within last 30 days ) personal (cash flow / current account )UK/Ireland bank statement shows your name, your UK/Ireland address, and a minimum closing balance of 11,000 GBP (Screenshots are not accepted).

As I live in between two countries I can provide my overseas account with the relevant funds but not my uk account. I can transfer money from my overseas account back into my uk account to provide the amount required but will the embassy accept this on short notice? I have already provided my overseas account with GBP in there also but this wasn’t accepted as they’ve asked again.

Other request documents: - Please upload your E-Ticket of your Flight booking showing your name as passenger , departure date, all flights en route from UK/Ireland/UK territories to Thailand

Is there anyway I can buy a ticket without paying for it for a month or so as I’m not exactly sure when I’ll leave for Thailand.

Any help would be greatly appreciated to overcome these questions.

Thanks in advance.

DTV advice please

I tried to do all the right things. Rang the Thai consulate in Australia, only got an automated message to email questions instead. Did that and they didn’t answer my main question.

Can anyone who applied through one of the Australian consulates please tell me how long the 500k have to sit in one bank account before you apply? We have savings in several different accounts and I don’t really want to move that money until we have to.

Is it enough to show 3-6 months of statements showing regular income plus transferring the 500k just before applying? Or does it have to sit in one account for 3-6 months?

Also, how many months of statements did you have to submit.

Thanks 🙏

I feel like I’ve seen the answer but I just want to make sure - I am applying in Hanoi and want to make sure I am correct about the bank statements. I will have the balance of over 500k in one bank account for one month ending balance. I have an other account that I receive my payments from work but the ending balance is way lower. Can I show two bank accounts? Will this be okay? Also would I have to keep the 500k in that bank while I’m applying?
