Question: what documents are required (other than the 400K in the bank) to get a spousal visa? Any specific process or "unusual" things to expect?

Hello, we would like to apply for the DTV Softpower visa. Our story in brief:

We applied for the first time in Germany at the end of April. It was rejected because the course only lasted 12 days instead of the minimum 6 months. The cooking school recommended this course to us, and to date, no other course has been rejected except for us.

We entered Thailand on May 21st. We left on May 29th for Vietnam, Hanoi, and applied again there, but this time for a 1-year course at the same school.

Rejected again in Hanoi – this time without explanation. However, our cooking school told us today that the exact week we applied for the visa in Hanoi, the consulate was very strict and there were sometimes up to 6 rejections a day.

We submitted both applications through the Issa Compass agency.

On June 4th, we entered Thailand without a visa, but I returned on June 4th. I left immediately due to a death in the family and traveled to Germany, re-entering Thailand on June 14th.

We would now like to extend our visa-free stay by 30 days and then try to apply for the DTV again in September, as the agency advised us not to do so again for another three months (it was rejected on June 2nd, so we’re commuting to September).

Which consulate is the „best“? Better saying: Where did you have the best experience?

Thank you for your help! 🙏

If you had to apply for the DTV visa again, in which Southeast Asian country or at which Thai embassy in a Southeast Asian country would you submit your application, considering the overall process, such as providing bank statements and other required documents?

All embassy's are closed for songkran until 16.4 right?

DTV

Does anybody know an embassy where are full month of a thai bank account statement with 500k + is enough?

Confused. I applied for a DTV visa around a month ago and some days ago i just got a mail saying ”Approved” but when i check it says that i have a tourist visa?

Do anyone in here knows what this means? Is this a DTV visa or did i get a normal tourist visa instead?

Awaiting paperwork from my home country which may take up to 3 weeks to process... But this freaking message is lingering! Haha.

**Incomplete applications over 14 days will be automatically removed from the system.

**How do I contact IO to get an extension on the 14 day crap?

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?

Just reading on some different embassy sites about documents and i quote from Vientiane embassy" Copies of agency/school/institution/company documents must be signed by an authorized person and stamped with the agency/school/institution/company seal.

Does this mean any business number registration or letter head needs to be notarized by an embassy in home country or just have the letterhead stating its origin EG company letterhead

Will the change to evisa on jan 1st also affect process time in countries that already only do evisa? Or only for the countries switchin? thank you so much
