Hi everyone. I'm sharing my husband's DTV experience to help those who might or are going to be in the same boat.

Nationality: Singaporean

Embassy of application: Hanoi

Method: soft power (medical)

As you can see from the calendar how long it took from start to finish.

For those applying under medical, do note that they will ask for your doctor's medical license number and ID and a history of your medical appointments. I thought I'd mention this so you can submit with your application and don't waste precious time to get it and resubmit.

Best of luck to everyone. 🍀

I have 300,000THB in my bank and I am doing the other 200,000 THB letter of sponsorship from my mum!

Anyone got any tips? Anything in particular to say? I’ve asked chat GBT to help me write a letter and I’ve got her bank statement and the letter is worded well and is formal

It’s got way more than 300,000 in it so hoping we won’t have any issues or delays 😅 I’ve not spoken to anyone who has done a sponsorship letter

When applying for DTV, what address should I put in Thailand? I only have a hotel booking for the first 3 weeks but don’t have an apartment rented yet.

I'll be applying from Hanoi for the DTV1 (workcation) soon! Has anyone had issues with applying with 500k in the bank for less than a month?

Documents:

Freelance contract

Portfolio of freelance work (10 pages of work samples)

Status of remote work (signed by boss, dated July)

Proof of monthly income / payslip for (Wise bank)

Proof of 500k in banks (amount would have been in bank for a week or so)

Appreciate any advice. Thank you

I will be visiting for 6 weeks in February what type of visa do I need and where do I apply and how long before my trip do I apply.

Earliest date to apply for DTV visa?

Hey everyone,

Does anyone know what the earliest date is that you can apply for a DTV visa? I’ve been trying to find a clear answer online but there doesn’t seem to be any concrete information anywhere.

It seems like the tourist visa can be applied for up to 3 months before your intended arrival, but I’m not sure if the same rule applies to the DTV visa.

Has anyone here already applied or been approved who can confirm?

Thank you

Hello to all members.

I want to apply online for the O-A visa. I have the following question. On page 4 of the online application form, it asks for the upload of supporting documents for health insurance, criminal record, bank and others. How did you proceed if you had to upload multiple documents related to a position? I can only upload one page even though I have several to upload. Thanks to everyone who replied. I also received an email from the Embassy earlier advising me to combine all 3 bank statements into one PDF.

Hi , my non-o e-visa application based on retirement has been on processing, pending approval since 1st October at London thai embassy. I've not been asked to submit any further documents or photos. I put an expected date of arrival in Thailand as 29/11/25 . Is this normal ?

For folks who applied in Vientiane, Laos for your DTV- where did you pay the 10k baht? Googling address and receiving different addresses. Want to ensure I go to the right place, so I get an interview ASAP. Thanks in advance to anyone who responds ☺️

Best of luck to everyone applying for a DTV!

Hello,

I am about to apply for the DTV ( softpower ) in Hanoi. I often read that people have to send them ALL passport pages. Should i send them everything already or just when they ask about it? Because in the application form they just ask for the first page with all your data.

Thank you 🙏
