Hi all,

I applied for DTV online via Thai embassy in Ankara, Turkey.

Well, I applied on May 21, and today's date is June 27.

They're not replying to e-mails and the document's state hasn't changed.

Anyone else have experience with the embassy in Ankara?

I understand gold can be used as proof of funds as it is a liquid asset

But how do you show this in an application for the DTV?

Cheers

Has anyone attempted applying for DTV while on a business visa in another country?

I applied for DTV on May 22, 2025, and my current status is still "Pending Document Check". I calculated that it has been 11 working days. I feel very confused. I applied at Royal Thai Consulate General, Shanghai. I sent an email to“ thaiconsular.shanghai@gmail.com ”There was no response. Can you give me some advice?

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!
