Hi we will travel to Vietnam to apply for the dtv. My husband will be the main applicant and me and our 3 children will be the dependants and will apply once his has been accepted. I have read each country has different requirements for the funds. Can the money just be in my husbands bank for us all? Thankyou

Any tips or recent experience would also be really appreciated.

Thank you so much! 🙏💗

Hi everyone, has anyone applied for a DTV from California with a spouse and 2 children? I cannot find solid information regarding how much we need to have in our bank account for the 4 of us. My 2 kids are under 10 years old.

I see a few articles and blogs saying we need to show proof we have 500,000 THB for the primary applicant - but I also see some articles stating we will need to show proof that we have 2,000,000 THB for the 4 of us. Eek.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks so much!

Hi all,

My wife and I are planning to base ourselves in Thailand for the next 2–3 years and (fingers crossed) start our family there. I’m a remote employee for a U.S. company and my wife freelances. A few questions on the DTV process:

1) For the 500,000 THB financial requirement, will bank statements from investment/brokerage accounts be accepted, or do they need to be from a cash/checking/savings account? We have sufficient funds, but one account dipped below 500k recently due to an investment.

2) I’ve seen people mention an employer letter confirming permission to work remotely from Thailand. Is this actually required, and what wording do they expect?

3) I’ve also read that some consulates ask for recent payslips. My wife’s income varies as a freelancer. Because of Trump's shenanigans, lots of business (her clients) put a pause the last six months so he income has been very low to 0. Things are finally kicking in back into gear and she is signing up a few clients, but they won't likely start right before we apply for the DTV visa. Would this be a problem for her application even though we cover the minimum $ requirement? Would you recommend to have her as a dependent, rather than apply for her separate visa?

4) If we apply for her as a dependent, does that mean I have to first get my DTV visa approved and then apply for her as a dependent? Is there a way to do it simulatenously?

Hanoi embassy approved dtv

I think the embassy in Hanoi is working very consistant. I saw someone posting to receive approval for muay thai softpower dtv on the 10th Nov - submission on 3rd Nov.

I also submitted mine on 3rd November, softpower muay thai, but towards end of the day. I received approval this afternoon on 11th Nov. I submitted all documents that are requested at once and went into Pending approval status until today.

This DTV page really helps a lot, as it gave me an idea of how far the "queue" was at the embassy in Hanoi. Cheers to all.

Is normal i receive stamp on my passport no big sticker with dtv ?

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
