Hello, for all who have applied and successfully added their spouse to their DTV, can you please say what the requirements are for the sponsor letter?
Is there anything else required other than the usual (Cover letter was mentioned), do i need to show financial proof again, or anything from the business I work for to say about the dependant, or is my DTV enough?
Hey everyone, I’m currently in Hanoi waiting on my DTV (Soft Power – Muay Thai) to be approved. I submitted all my documents and paid the fee on June 4th, and as of June 6th, the application is marked as pending approval.
I know things likely slowed down because of the public holidays and a backlog, but it still feels like it’s taking a while. I’m aware the embassy doesn’t respond to emails, but has anyone had any luck going there in person to check on the status or get an idea of how much longer it might take?
Hanoi’s been great, but I’m more than ready to get back to Thailand. Appreciate any advice—thanks in advance!
Hi everyone. I plan to apply for the DTV visa at the end of July/ start of August. However, I'm a bit worried about the 500k baht.
Right now I've got 350k in my bank account, but won't receive the rest until July 20th ish. Will it still be ok if I technically just have the 500k 1.5 weeks before applying? Or you would advise that I gather the funds a bit quicker / delay my application date a bit?
I have used the search function of course but just want more definite confirmation. Thanks for all your help and support on this group!
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?
