DTV Vias Approved. UK Passport. Foreign Company.

Yesterday I received my DTV as a freelancer and thought I would share the procedure as best as I remember and documents I provided.

Applied on line:

Passport page scan.

Sacn of UK driving licence - Proof of being in UK.

My linkedIn profile in PDF form - from the website.

Address in Thailand - I have a condo so used this.

Screenshot of Thai Bank statement with over 500k - I went back 3 months.

Paid £300 that's 13500 Baht, not the 10000 quoted.

A day later I was asked for further documents:

* Other request documents: Self assessment tax return / Statement of accounts / Accountant's letter / Personal tax calculation or computation statement from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC)

Here I sent them my companies latest receipt of filing my company accounts and Business registration.

* Other request documents: Flight details showing the applicant’s name, departure date, all flights en route from UK/Ireland/UK territories to Thailand (E-Ticket)

I had a flight from Germany (Current work place) to Thailand so I sent them the itinerary.

A few days later I got a email again requesting documents:

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

Additional return flight itinerary from UK to Germany either side of my Thai flights was sent.

* Other request documents: - Your Accountant's letter to confirm that you have earn your income from outside Thailand.

Got my accountant to provide a letter confirming that my income is made outside of Thailand.

* Other request documents: - Your Professional portfolio (please explain if you could not provide any required documents.)

I had already sent them my linked in profile in PDF, this time I screenshotted my LinkedIn Profile, showing my experience and different locations and sent them my CV.

A few days later I had my visa.

One piece of advice when you supply documents, I could only upload one document so for my work portfolio I merged my LinkedIn Profile screenshots and CV together using some free software on the internet, just google free merge PDF and a whole bunch of sites come up.

Good luck

I need some advice about a retirement visa.

I am currently living in Thailand on a B visa and am shortly to apply for an O visa so that I can apply for a retirement visa. When I apply for the retirement visa, I will have the required monthly income of 65K coming into my account for the previous 12 months. I can get a statement from my Thai bank showing this plus a letter from them. Here’s my question: some people have told me that in addition to these proofs of income I will require a signed affidavit from my embassy stating what my income in my home country is e.g. pension or other source. Is this correct? My problem is that my embassy seem unwilling to provide this.

Is it necessary to have your Thai bank statement or passbook showing 800,000 in the bank on the day you apply for the Non-O?

Hello to everyone

first ,

New to this site .

I Could do couple of

Advices .

Has this happened to anyone before ?

I am planning a

Non OA

visa over 50 .

Embassy wants a

Statement thai Bank with 800 k

Or they won t issue it .

The Thai Bank

never allowed

internet banking .

They say ,

Must come in person

to Get one ..

With no Visa seems

Hardly possible ..

Also any tips about insurances ,

6 months or a Year

Reasonable pricing ?

So far I see

Talking 80000 o

And more

Minimum for both ):

Or any one knows one Insurance would cover all at once .

I believe it needs

Two seperates insurances

one covid ,

one required also

for the Non OA .

There is a Thai form

Could be filled by any insurance anywhere ,

Would it be Any cheaper to find Local Thai insurance private ?

Thanks for advices ,

Phil .

With regard to previous closed post regarding Thai Bank Statement request while attempting to obtain second SETV in Vientaine, was there any mention of what balance they were looking for ?
