Hi everyone,I applied for DTV in Vientiane today ,do you know how long it take to approve the visa after you went for interview?

First of all I want to thank you all for your support!

I applied on the 8th of January in the morning in Taipei (remote work) with all documents.

As information my money is split to 2 different banks!

After few hours they asked for contract, bank statement including salary proof of the last few months (I provided everything with the first turn) and company paper (which I order by the company) and certificate of residence (or similar) and submitted everything again on the 10th, Friday evening, and got an appointment on Tuesday the 14th for next day.

They asked to explain what I want to do in Thailand, about my company I work for, my salary and explanation why my money is splitted and my monthly salary.

After 10min the interview was done, got my passport and told I will get approved within the next 2-3 days!

Got the email with approval 5 hours after the interview!

Thanks again!

DTV in Prague

Applied as Freelancer, applied on 18th October received 1st November.

Documents required:

- Confirmation of stay in Thailand (5 months Bangkok + 4 months Phuket, both via Airbnb)

- Receipt of payment for accommodation (from Airbnb)

- Flight ticket to Bangkok

- Flight ticket exit before 180 days

- Bank statements (6 months) with 500.000baht from Revolut (saving account)

- Bank statements (6 months) with payments from clients from Revolut (Eur account, different from saving)

- Local Bank statements (6 months) for proof of tax payments

- Trading licence in Czech + google translation in English

- Portfolio

- CV

- Contracts with clients signed by both parties

- Czech residence card/proof of residence (also gave Czech driving licence)

- Interview even if it was an E-visa just to talk and explain basically everything I submitted, my intention in Thailand, why Thailand and so on

Staff was quite nice during the interview, they sure ask for a lot of documents compared to other places, but if you have all your cards in order you will get it, if you try to cut corners because you don't have all the requirements, well, you will have issues.

Hi..

I have a thai friend that lives in Phuket and he gonna apply for a visa to Sweden 20 for a 20 day visit. . He is employed in well paid company and I have did an invitation letter and all other documents. Does he need to hire a agency to help him with the application. According what we here is that he need to go to BKK 2 - 3 for interviews too.

Any one know how to do this the best way.?

Thanks

I'm an Aussie living in Thailand and thinking about taking my Wife (Thai) for a short trip to the USA. I can enter the USA Visa exempt, however I would like to hear of any difficulties in getting a Tourist Visa for a Thai citizen. As my Wife speaks only a little English, are translators available for the interview process, or could I accompany her? TIA
