Hi everyone!😊

This group had been super helpful for me, so I wanted to share my DTV application experience and give some motivation because when applying for the visa I felt some anxiety after having read lots of negative experiences before applying and almost did not dare to try it. So if you resonate then this is for you:

I applied for my via when I was in Cambodia, Siem Reap. It took me around 2 weeks to get approval.

I have my own online business and had to explain (in 2-3 sentences) what exactly I am doing. I sent them my website, very easy.

My bank account statement was 500,000 baht for one day only. Before and after it was about 500$ less. I had to show my bank statements of 6 months, though.

At the border it was very easy and they were friendly as well. Officers at the border did not ask me anything and simply approved my entry and smiled at me. I felt that they were happy for me to be able to enter on this visa.

I hope this gives hope to others as well who are a bit afraid to try and apply since there are lots of negatives experiences described here. But I think that like with every "review sections" above all negative experiences are shared and those people who do not have application problems don't share that much about their process.

Wishing everybody good luck with their application!🙏

I was denied a DTV Visa at the Vancouver Thai Consulate, I am self employed, doing all my business online, I had previously called the consulate to ask if I would qualify, the person I talked to before I applied said I would be OK, now the consulate is saying I am not approved, I paid teh $650, no idea what to do now. I'll call them monday and ask what I can do, maybe sign up for cooking classes, I'll find out how many classes ect. I spent a lot of time getting my business documents for them, in the end they said I did not qualify. I don't understand I do all my business online, self employed, and was told by an employee at the consulate that I qualified (before I paid the fee)

I'm currently living in thailland I studied 1 year Thai language ... And I want to change my visa to DTV VISA

1) is the 500k THB should be in a Thai bank account or a foreign bank account is also acceptable ?

2) my online business is registered with my company in my original country , can I use my company bank account for the 500k proof?

3) we are 2 people in this company can we both apply for DTV VISA ?
