Hi everyone!

I'm applying for a DTV spouse/dependent visa at the Thai consulate in Ho Chi Minh City and just received a request for additional documents. I would really appreciate your insights.

Here's the situation:

I submitted my bank statement (6 months), my husband's bank statement (also 6 months), and his financial sponsorship letter. Now the consulate is asking for:

"Provide financial sponsorship letter along with transaction for 6 months and account balance not less than 500,000 baht."

I'm confused because I already provided exactly that - a sponsorship letter and both of our bank statements showing consistent activity and sufficient funds.

They also asked:

"Will you stay in Thailand continuously for 5 years? Are you currently working? If yes, please provide info. If not, what are your plans for the next 5 years in Thailand?"

I'm not sure what exactly they're looking for or if this usually means a likely rejection.

Has anyone experienced something similar at the HCM consulate (or elsewhere)?

Any advice would be really helpful!

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

I was refused a 60 day extension for visiting my Thai wife at my local immigration office on my one year Non-O. I now have 8 days until my visa expires. Can I still book an online appointment at Savannakhet to get a 90 day Non-O marriage visa from them? If not where can I go to acquire one while I wait 60 days for my 400,000 to mature (I was silly and kept it in our joint account).

Hello Everyone,

When proving the 500k bank balance what is the requirement for how many months it needs to show?

I am from Canada and will be applying in my home country.

Thanks in advance

I have a question.

I applied to the Japanese consulate in Fukuoka, but they asked for all pages of my passport and since I had already left Japan, my application was cancelled.

I will reapply in Kuala Lumpur where I am currently staying.

"Have you ever applied for Thai visa? Yes No"

Which answer should I choose for this question?

I chose "No" when I applied to Fukuoka last time.

Since this is a reapplication, will it be "Yes"?

Or, since I have never applied for any visa other than DTV, will it be "No" this time too?

**Additional Note

I would like to explain why I am undecided.

My application to Fukuoka was not "Status: rejected" but "Status: Cancel Visa Application".

Cancel = no application?

I was notified by email that the reason for the cancellation was that I had left Japan.

In other words, this DTV is my first time applying for a visa to Thailand, and the result of that first application was "Cancel" instead of "rejected", so I am undecided.

Hello, I’m in Thailand on a tourist visa and I wish to apply for a DTV. Do I must return back to my home country to be able to apply ? Can I apply whist I’m in Thailand ?

Hey folks! For those who don't fit the criteria for DTV but want to stay a few months, is there an option for 6-month tourist visa? I've heard of this and it feels like an urban legend because I'm not sure I know anyone who has actually gotten it (maybe I don't know anyone who has applied for it). If yes, which countries can successfully get a 6-month tourist visa? Thanks!

Hi everyone, I’d truly appreciate the group’s help.

I submitted DTV applications for my wife and kids (as dependents) at the Thai Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City 21 days ago (I already hold a DTV visa as a remote worker).

After 5 days, their applications changed to “Pending Approval”, and they’ve been stuck there for more than 2 weeks.

I’ve tried calling the consulate (no answer) and sent emails (no reply).

Does anyone know how to expedite this process? Or can anyone recommend an agent who has a direct line to the consulate?

Thanks so much in advance!

Both myself and my wife got the DTV in the last 2 months. Both of us used our Brokerage statements rather than a checking or savings accounts. I hear alot of misinformation here so I figured this may help somebody.

Both of us went through the DC Thai consulate and submitted Schwab Brokerage statements. She had around 50K USD in the S&P500 (VOO/SPLG) and I have around 150k in the same.

No idea if crypto or random sketchy stocks would work like GME.

Hi everyone!

I’m wondering if anyone here has applied for a DTV through the Thai Consulate in Dubai?

I already submitted my application with a 6-month bank statement showing the required 500,000 THB, but I just got a message from the consulate asking for “other bank statements to support for 3 months as well.”

The thing is—I only have one account, and the big deposit was recently transferred from a family friend who’s supporting me. It was a genuine gift to help me meet the visa requirements. Now I’m not sure if they’re asking for:

* Another account?

* Or just suspicious about the large transfer and want more proof?

If anyone has been through something similar or applied via the Dubai consulate, I’d really appreciate your advice or experience!

Thanks in advance!
