What is the feedback of recent DTV E–Visa applications submitted at the Thai Embassy in Manila?

Are there any seasoning of funds (minimum time period) requirements for the 500k for DTV E–Visa applications at Manila?

Is only submitting a Sponsorship/Guarantee Letter by the Primary DTV Visa Holder sufficient or does the Thai Embassy request recent Bank Statements of the Primary DTV Visa holder?

This is the most recent E–Visa Guidelines released from the Thai Embassy in Manila, dated 5 March 2025

Hi guys,

sharing my experience of applying for my Partner's DTV visa as a digital nomad/business owner.

Applied on a saturday through Thai Embassy in Manila, early monday morning got a message from them asking for additional documents and we submitted them immediately, on the same day the status changed to pending approval and we got the DTV visa the next day (Tuesday).

Documents we submitted:

1. Passport Copy (US passport)

2. Photo

3. 6 months bank statement

4. Proof of residence in PH

> Visa Extension Slip

> Electricity & Rent Bill

5. Photo of latest arrival in PH stamp

6. Cover letter mentioning the documents we submitted and explaining her current residency in PH and her interest for applying for the DTV visa

7. A letter explaining how her business would run while she is in thailand (detailed business description

8. Business license/permit from the State of Nevada

Additional docs. They requested

1. CV/Resume

2. Screenshot of her company website as proof the business is active.

The letters we submitted were in her company's letter head which she signed as the owner.

Overall, the process of applying for the DTV visa was super quick and easy in comparison to other visa applications I had to apply for back when I was working for my old boss as a PA and handling their visa applications.

If you have any questions, I suggest reaching out to the Thai embassy in Manila. They were really friendly, helpful and helped clarified my confusion about what type of documents I should submit to satisfy the additional requirement docs. they asked for.

P.S: added the screenshot of the official list of documents that the Thai Embassy in Manila listed on their website.
