Super anxious after applying for DTV in Kuala Lumpur over a week ago. Blowing up money on hotels, trying to do things outside but it just stresses me so much I can't as I have bad feelings. They hit me with requirements which I didn't expect earlier and sadly I didn't read this group before and anyway have tickets to KL for planned short trip so I thought I will apply here.
I have very complicated work situation. Company I worked for is registered in one country (there is not even consulate of this country to authenticate; they inform on website it must be done in embassy in... Bangkok, as they don't provide such services) and contract with address from another country (as they hire contractors from country with low taxes, most likely), digitally signed by both parties using Docusign.
I uploaded all of it a week ago but not exactly like they want from this very demanding list...
Any success stories from KL, Malaysia to cheer me up?
In one year, the Norwegian embassy will stop providing income verification letters. This article was posted on ASN:
"The Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the phase-out plan in response to a parliamentary inquiry. Minister Espen Barth Eide confirmed the service cut, explaining that it is not a legally mandated duty. The embassy will discontinue the letters in a year, providing time for adaptation.
Thai immigration practices have shifted, previously accepting foreign embassy letters, now requiring verification through Thai bank accounts. Thai authorities favour either a balance of 800,000 THB or monthly deposits of at least 65,000 THB. Many countries, including the UK, USA, and Australia, have already stopped offering similar services.
The Norwegian Ministry advises citizens to consult the Thai Immigration Bureau and Thai Embassy websites for accurate guidance.
The decision aligns with a broader international trend. Norwegian retirees in Thailand must prepare for direct compliance with Thai financial requirements going forward.
The recent government white paper further clarifies these consular changes. It confirms Norway's alignment with other Western countries' consular practices in Thailand. This shift signifies a new norm for the verification of income for Thai visas."
I was asked for documents such as bank statements in English, but my bank does not produce them. In your experience, how were they able to send the converted documents?
How I can request a residence certificate in Thailand (commonly used for visa, driving license, or banking purposes), along with the documents required, steps, and how long it takes?
