Hey guys, if my current savings bank account doesn't have the sufficient amount but my Amanah Saham Bumiputera (ASB) has more than enough. ASB is a fixed-price unit trust fund (not a traditional bank). ASB is designed as an investment vehicle for long-term growth and capital preservation, with a fixed price per unit and no sales or redemption fees.

Can I:

1. Apply using my ASB account

2. Move the sufficient amount of money from ASB account to my current savings account , show the proof of transfer and then apply for the DTV the next day. (But it wouldn't have the 6 months past record of 500,000 baht).

I am a Malaysian and thinking to apply in Malaysia.

Thank you 🙏🏼

Can you apply for a marriage visa from outside the country, and if so, how do you obtain the necessary bank statement (etc.) without being there in person?

Hi

```

i got my application rejected from Thai Embassy in Munich. I applied MuayThai and put a cross in the box unemployed, as i live from rental income. After a week they wanted to see a certificate of employment, which i don´t have of course. So i sent them a copy of my tax return form to show them my yearly income. Some days later i got the rejection without any further comment. Unfortunately i cannot reach anyone on the phone or via e-mail to find out what the problem was. Does anyone know if it makes sense to apply again and fill in maybe different or what is best to do? Thank you for some advice.

I believe it'd be a good idea if we could post the pros and cons of every embassy. I'll start with my experience in taipei/taiwan:

Pros: they are pretty fast when it comes to check the documents. They usually reply to the emails within a few hrs.

Cons: EXTREMELY picky when it comes to check the documents, they require payslips and everything about your job even you apply for soft powers. They ask for a certificate of entry/exit in the country which requires to go to the local immigration office. They often ask for an interview which is everything but friendly. They want to check that your company pays you regularly and they want to see the money going into your account for a few months (even under soft powers)

Would I recommend this embassy? NO, It was a very stressful process, I got asked for a lot of extra documents (also from the gym) and some of them didn't even make sense. After mailing them dozens of pages, I still got asked to have an interview which took place 10 days after my documents got checked. The interview felt like a police one (why are you going to thailand, how many times have u been there, why do you want to train, have u ever trained before? where are u going to stay, how long will the contract of your condo be, how long do you want to stay in thailand, how will you support yourself, why did you apply in taiwan, how can you live there without a job and so on). I repeat, Taiwan isn't a good place to apply for a visa, it's actually a very stressful embassy

It helps to answer interview in Thai 💕 officer will be nicer 💕 first applied last year in my home country, confident with bank account n yearly income but was met with (we don't have bilateral agreements with Thai govt so we don't know what to charge)

So to rush to get in I did ED visa which helped me to learn Thai เรียนภาษาไทย but 😩 unable to travel out. So I took the plunge & one way ticket out. Lesson learnt to check on bank holidays it was a grueling 18 days wait with just an appointment date. But I think 2 points to learn from this

1) Glad I got an agent, pay 100USD to save on headache, help me check on docs & even advise me retaking photo showing my ears and no teeth to prevent rejection. They help to push along documents.

2) Sometimes you just have to push through, follow instructions, be there early not on time, before office opens (everyone had appointment at 9.30am) what a cute arrangement 😂 just persevere. Be prepared for the weather (correction : thks for helping below, so I be sure not to miss deadline reporting save fine money 😊)

Hi everyone,

May I kindly ask for your advice — if I am already in Thailand, am I still eligible to submit a DTV (Destination Thailand Visa) application from here? Or must the application be submitted from outside the country?

Thank you in advance for your guidance!

Applied on May 4

Sent additional documents on May 26

Los Angeles Consulate website says it takes 5 business days to process additional documents. Today is the end of the 5th business day and I haven't heard anything. I sent an email yesterday but no response. Any advice on what to do? My departure date is June 9

Good morning,

I remember hearing the non-imm B visa application process had gone online. I cannot see it on the Thai immigration bureau website. Does anyone know if this happened, please?

If so, what does it entail now, as obviously we would still have to leave the country if we are currently in Thailand?

I would imagine I would still have to go to the Thai consulate in Penang (or similar office). This was formerly an expensive 4 night minimum stay to lodge and receive a visa.

Also, it appears to apply for the Visa, we must be outside the country. Given that it takes 2 weeks to process the Visa, that implies that implies we must stay outside the country for 2 weeks.
