Hey there,

If you live in the U.S., can you visit a neighboring Asian Country and apply for your DTV from there?

If so, I would love any information on affordable places nearby!

How are exchange rates dealt with usually? If I transfer the equivalent of 500k THB in another currency to a bank account and the currency depreciates against the THB over the next 3 months until I will apply for the DTV will they use the exchange rate at the time of application for every historic month or will they use the exchange rate for each month so I have a chance to top up the account to cover for currency fluctuations during these 3 months?

Alternatively do they allow using bank statements from several banks for the application so I can add a statement from another bank as well if needed to get up to 500k THB?

I've gotten a reply from Thai embassy for my DTV and I have 2 questions

1) does anyone have experience on what to put in the business case request?

2) do you need to have 500k consistently for 6 months of bank statements? Or just the latest the reflect the right amount? ( other months were shown ( ranging from 35k - 190k).

Applying from hcmc embassy.

Thank you.

Hello,

can someone share his experience in Topping up his Bank Account before applying for the DTV which the Embassy can see on the Bank statements? For Example if i am applying for Soft Power and they see in the last 6 Month Bank Statements that i topped up my Bank Account for like 200k THB in 2 different Payments. Could that be a problem or are they don t care that much as long as it s not a one big payment?

Hello, I applied for Thai DTV visa. After two weeks I was asked for additional documents which I submitted and it has been about two weeks since I submitted additional documents that I haven’t heard anything. My question is since I already booked my ticket, is it ok to travel to Thailand while my DTV visa is processing? Of course I will leave Thailand and re-enter if my DTV is approved to activate it. But I am not sure if this is ok or it might get my DTV application rejected.

Hey there,

I’m applying for my DTV soon and will be leaving for Hanoi in a couple of days. I had a few questions before I go and was hoping to get some help here, as I’m a bit nervous about the process:

1. Is it okay to apply online just two days before traveling to Hanoi?

2. Has anyone recently done this in Hanoi? If so, how long did the process usually take?

3. Do they require you to visit the embassy there, and should I be prepared for that?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi everyone, I looked in the group already but couldn't really find an answer. We're going to apply for a DTV in Jakarta with my family. I know that they are fine with us having 500,000 baht for the whole family and that they want 2 months worth of bank statements. I'm just wondering if the 500,000 baht needs to be in the account for the 2 months or if it's ok if it's there for 3 or 4 weeks 🤔. Just asking because they want the money on a bank account in my name and I only have a wise account, not sure I want that much money on a wise account for so long 😅

Thanks everyone for your help!

If I apply for a DTV and my wife 'follows' do we need to show 1mil baht or is 500k on a joint account ok? Also, do you apply for both at the same time? Anyone here have experience applying with a follower on DTV?

Thanks

I am a HK PR and would like to apply from HK. I have the $150k required but it hasn't been in my account for 3 months. I am not currently working so would a sponsorship letter from my partner along with their bank account statements suffice?

I should also add I am pregnant and planning to have the baby in Bumrungrad in Oct/Nov. Has anyone applied for the DTV under the medical route to give birth? I have already talked to the hospital and they have said they will provide letters etc.

If HK is too picky, would Taipei be a good next option as they mention they accept sponsorship letter on their website.

Hey! 👋

I'm currently locating in Georgia (country) and want to apply for DTV, but there is no Thai Embassy in Georgia.

If I will apply from Georgia and visa will be approved, then I can receive the visa in any other country that have Thai Embassy? Or how does it work?
