Hello, it’s my first time applying for DTV, I was wondering if it’s necessary to submit and house tenancy agreement as part of my application for the Visa? I was planning to either stay at a hotel and look for a more permanent place once my visa is approved. Is it a common thing to do and could I get some advice on it? Thank you very much

Is anyone else have a tough time getting this visa out of Singapore? I am being asked for proof of income far in excess of the publicly stated requirements, among other hoops to jump through. I am a foreigner in Singapore on an employment pass. Any advice welcome.

If I apply for the non o-a visa in Australia can I use the 65k thb option instead of the 800k bank acc option

2 DTVs approved from Canberra Australia.

Both my partner and I had our DTVs approved from Canberra swiftly and efficiently.

Applied on October 7th end of day. Mine was approved with no further document requests on Tuesday the 14th.

My partner's was cancelled on the 14th due to passport issuing date being wrong (we're sure this was a tech glitch due to passport auto fill as my partner triple checked his application before submitting). Canceled at 1:30pm Tuesday the 14th. Reapplied at 9pm same day. Just approved at 11am on October 16th. No further document requests.

Workcation category.

We both run our own businesses.

I'm an employee of my business. He's self-employed through his business.

Showed proof of regular income, more than 500k BHT in bank account. Payslips for 6 months from our companies.

Company formation documents.

Employment contracts that detailed the work we do for our company.

Cover letters that detailed every item we uploaded (written very simply like for a 4th grader).

Proof of location was a GPS and time date stamped photo (with an app from app store), plane tickets, and my Australian PR visa (I'm from the US, he's an Australian citizen).

We did not have return tickets booked. Just picked a flight for next Tuesday and said in the

Cover letter we'd book once visa was approved.

Also included TM30 (not our lease) which showed we have a rental for a year (which we got just before we came to Australia to apply for the visa).

Much simpler process than anticipated (although putting together all of the docs does take time - we used AI to help us write the letters, employment contract, and create letterhead).

It was so fast to get approval!! We're so happy.

Thanks to everyone in this group. It's been super helpful.

Biggest lesson: Just be sure to enter your passport details manually. Paying the application fee twice was a bummer but in all no hassles!

For those of you who applied for DTV in Malaysia, and got approved, did you guys really have 6 months minimum tenancy/ lease agreement in Thailand?

If I am unsure of how long i want to stay in Thailand, doesn’t seem feasible to have this information for the DTV application right?

Were u guys all sure about how long you were gonna stay in Thailand?

Or do you guys have other ways to go about this?

Please advise. 🙏🏻 I’d appreciate it a lot.

Note: I can only apply my DTV from Malaysia.

Hi all, I have 2 questions about the additional documents requested by the Fukuoka embassy for DTV today. If anyone knows anything or has experienced the same thing, please let me know.

1. A bank statement showing transactions for the past three months.

Can this be just screenshots of the bank transaction history and a translated version? I submitted a bank statement provided by the bank, but it has no transaction history shown. I already asked my bank to send me the version that shows the transaction history, but it takes 7 days according to the bank.

2. Accommodation booking document

I have a partner there in Thailand so I wrote the name & address of the condo that my partner is renting. So it is not under my name. I am wondering if I should just attach the condo contract and my partner's ID photo while telling that she is my partner etc, or ask the condo owner to put my name in the contract which might take time, or book another hotel or something for a few weeks with a letter saying I changed the accommodation.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Ok Im new here, trying to sort through different visas and requirements.

I'm 64, in Texas, there no embassy near me but there is a " Royal Thai Consulate" in Dallas. I'm planning to retire next year and looking to move to SEA. I dont like the idea of a large amount of my money held hostage as in Philippines. I'm thinking the DTV would be best. So here are some thing I cant get straight.

1-as I understand it the DTV does not require the big deposit, is that correct?

A-it requires proof of minimum of 65,000 tbht

B- does it have to be to a thai bank or can i show statements from my US bank?

2- under soft power there is mention of use of medical facilities or wellness resort can qualify. can someone clarify wellness resort?

3- do you have to continue to prove income every time you renew for the 5 year term? Not a problem, just clarifying

Hi, Coming from America interested in DTV I am unmarried accompanied by partner and 12yr old child. Main question is, due to us being not married would we both have to show 500,000 baht in separate bank accounts? And would my 13 yr old need a visa as well? Also read that there is no actual income requirements to prove after recent change? Any and all help is greatly appreciated! Thank you.

DTV - Soft Power

I am unemployed and have just over 500k in my account. Another 400k invested. Will that be enough? Has anyone been accepted like this?

I get support from my family. Not regularly, though, so I don't want to give it as income.

Hello. I’m a U.S. citizen in Thailand trying to get my dtv visa. I was planning on going to Cambodia for this. I need the 3 months 500k baht bank statements. Do they ask for proof of income, I am an investor/trader (stocks and crypto). Any advice would be appreciated
