Hi question please we are applying for dtv in uk my husband being the main applicant with me as a sponsor, does the funds have to be shown from his main bank account or can it be from other accounts like bonds and investments? We don’t know if we need to move cash around any help appreciated
Hi. I am a uk passport holder and will be applying for my DTV in Switzerland as I will be staying with family there. Does anyone have any experience of Swiss processing times etc and what proof can I send to show current location ? Thanks
Hi everyone, this is kind of a long question so please excuse me.
I wanted to clarify the qualifications of the DTV Visa. I would be applying for that in Taiwan, which is where I’m currently living at. In fact, I heard the embassy here is rather smooth and easy to deal with compared to other places.
What I particularly wanted to ask about was the ฿500,000 qualification. I’m not sure whether it makes a big difference which option to check between “workation” or “freelancer”, is one option easier to use than the other?
Also, when it comes to proving that you have the ฿500,000 does it matter how long it’s been in the account? In other words, if I just transferred it, and it shows that it’s been in the account for just a day or two, would they give me a hard time?
How strict are they when it comes to proving that you work as a freelancer? In my case, I would be doing private tutoring online, in addition to investments, but I’m not sure if they care about how much you’re bringing in per month for that job, or they only care to see if you’re working at all? If they don’t care, then I guess all I would need is proof that I’m working for that employer?
Sorry for the long question, and thanks in advance!
hi does the validity counts from the issue date (approval date) or from the date of entering Thailand; or maybe I should ask - when the visa is issued does it have the begging of validity as of the moment it was issued or is that date moved forward by the embassy to be closer to departure date? let's say I applied now but flying in 2 months, I would prefer the visa starts running either from arrival in Thailand or around that date rather than from next week, if approved next week
I'm currently in Vietnam and will apply for a DTV here. I intend to apply via the soft power Muay Thai option.
I will only have had the GBP equivalent of 500k THB in my primary account for 1 month prior to my application.
I can also show a monthly UK sourced income of the equivalent of 45000 THB per month. I'm not sure if this would benefit my DTV application in any way.
Would a 3 month UK bank statement showing the 500k THB for just 1 month be enough to satisfy the requirements in Vietnam?
Prior to this the money was scattered across different accounts and in investments.
Has anyone had a DTV approved in Vietnam with the money only showing present for 1 month?
I need some advice. I was helping my parents with their visa for Thailand and it got rejected for “incorrect travel document.” They are U.S permanent residents (green card holders) and they have a travel document “Reentry Permit” issued from US homeland Security. They were able to obtain a Lao visa but not a Thai visa? I called the Thailand embassy in Washington and they told me that they do not accept reentry permits. So what is the correct document/ travel document I need? Thanks in advance!
Are there any countries not eligible to apply for DTV. I got a client referred to me from Zimbabwe.. i seem to remember hearing something about certain African countries not able to apply. ( I run a Muay Thai Gym)
