I tried to get a DTV from a cooking school in Korea, but I was rejected. In this case, it would be meaningless to supplement the documents and put them back in Korea, right?
I applied for the DTV as a freelancer on July 1. Today they responded requesting one thing: Document indicating current location. I submitted my stay permit. Hoping there are no further issues and it’s approved swiftly! Jakarta.
Update: status changed to pending approval today, July 9
Update 2: received approval today, a few hours later!
Hi all , can someone sent me link to apply for retirement type O visa , I know it’s here somewhere as gets asked alot Thanks 🙏 I’m in Australia just finalised redundancy/super
Just an info share. I submitted a non O visa request via the website at the Thai Embassy in London on the evening of the 24 June and received it approved this morning, 1 July. 3-4 working days, Very efficient. I know a few people have been asking on timescales, so thought I’d share my experience. Flight leaves in 8 days time 😊
Has anyone applied for the DTV in Ho Chi Minh through soft power activities? I am currently preparing my documents now and would really appreciate any tips on making the entire application process smoother (Eg. Converting the bank account statements to Thai Baht, cover letter to explain how i can sustain expenses in Thailand.) Thank you in advance!
Hi guys, im about to follow my boyfriend in thailand. I work remotely for a chinese company who pays me on France. Is the dtv doable in my case ? What if within the 5 years dtv you stop freelancing ? Thanks !!
Question for anyone who’s applied for the Soft Power DTV through the LA consulate:
I transferred funds into my savings to meet the $16k requirement, but my final $2k deposit didn’t hit until June 2—so my May statement shows $14.8k, while June and July will both show over $16k.
Has anyone been approved even if one of the three required statements showed slightly under the threshold?
Wondering how strict they are about hitting the $16k mark *every* month.
DTV Approved (Soft Power - Muay Thai) - Singapore - Non Singaporean
Hello! This group has been super helpful and I wanted to share my experience. I was living in Singapore under a work visa and I applied under the Muay Thai category.
First attempt - 26 March - Rejected due to wrong Place of Issue. I put the issuing country of my passport but it was supposed to be the "Authority" field.
Second attempt - 22 April - Provided all the documents (my passport, rent contract in Singapore under my name, my work visa screenshot and picture, letter from my girlfriend stating I was going to live with her in Thailand, her ID and her rent contract, Muay Thai training contract including the gym's owner passport and banking statement in SGD).
Interview - 13 May - They asked me a lot of questions to double check my situation. Where I was working, how long I knew my girlfriend, my profession, if I ever had trained Muay Thai before, etc. After almost 2 hours, they approved it in the final of the interview.
Arrival in Thailand - 16 May - I arrived in Thailand and they didn't ask anything, just stamped the passport. I had also put my Thai visa number on TDAC already, this could have helped.
