Hello, I applied in Hanoi for a soft power visa Muy Thai on Friday around 5 PM. On Monday around 5 PM, it went into "pending approval" and I haven't heard anything since 😥

Can u open a thai bank account with DTV?

DTV Approved ✅

My wife and I applied from Bali at the Jakarta Embassy.

Thanks to all the information found in this group, it all went smoothly.

My wife (British) applied as the main applicant as a remote worker (our business is under her name).

We provided:

* Location: boarding pass, card on arrival, grab receipt from the airport to our Airbnb, Airbnb reservation.

* Finances: 3 months of bank statements (from a Wise account).

* Work: documents about the LLC + 6 months of contracts and invoices showing regular work with multiple clients outside of Thailand.

Applied on October 15th, approved on the 24th.

I (French) then applied as a dependent/spouse.

We provided:

* Location: same, with a newer Gojek receipt from the day I applied.

* Marriage certificate + translation.

* Finances: same bank statements + a letter from my wife stating that the money is for the both of us.

Applied on the 24th, approved on November 4th.

I used ChatGPT to write some things for each section.

Thank you for everyone here for the precious information which made our applications smooth and easy!

My passport expires in 2027. Should I renew my passport (10 years validity) then apply for DTV? How much hassle is it to have DTV attached to an old passport? Just have to bring 2 passports every time you enter Thailand?

If this is a stupid question I apologise - if I leave Thailand and return within my first 90 days…

A. Do I still need to visit immigration on the date I should visit if I’d stayed for the full 90 days? Or

B. Does my 90 day clock then reset and I visit immigration 90 days from the date I return to Thailand?

I'm trying to get to Thailand on the DTV but I'm having issues finding somewhere reputable for me to take a soft power course. Any help?

Just FYI to Americans in the Northeast, the NYC consulate appears to be very backed up with visa applications so I'd strongly recommend applying early and triple checking things before clicking submit. I applied for a 90 day non 0 retirement visa on September 15 and was finally approved *today while literally on the plane to Thailand.* The immigration officer accepted the PDF version of it on my phone as I had nowhere to print it out.

Would have been pretty funny if I hadn't checked my email upon landing.

Just a simple question: I have the DTV visa; do I need an ETA and DTAC? Can I apply for them 3 weeks before departure?

Can someone give me an example for a letter that my work need to generate for the dtv?

How many of you guys here have gotten approved using Wise?

I’ve seen mixed feedback on certain countries/embassies approving/denying. I’ve only got Wise that has the balance.

Thanks! I’m applying in a week so I’m pretty nervous 😬
