Applied for a business visa. They asked for a document indicating current location (Filipino who traveled to China for business). Submitted my entry stamp as a proof. Few days later, my application got cancelled due to "Inadequate support documents or explanation."

What else do they need or is there anything else I failed to provide? I don't have a hotel booking either since I'm currently staying in the company dormitory here in China.

when apply non immigrant O visa, I only plan to buy the inbound air flight. However is the outbound (return flight) required?

Hello all, are confirmed flight tickets required to apply? and do they ask for a return flight ticket as well? or would an Itinerary suffice?

Infant as a dependent — what did you guys use as proof of location?

Thanks 🙂

Hi everyone, I've reached out to the Thai Consulate General in New York and spoke to a live person last month, today the phone extension for visa applications says the mailbox is full, perhaps I'll try later in the day or another day this week when they've had time to clear out the mailbox.. But my question is, if applying for the DTV visa from the States does one need to provide prove of health insurance for the DTV visa application? I have US health insurance, but will be joining my son and granddaughter on a family health insurance plan once I get to Thailand.. My son and granddaughter don't have Thai health insurance in place yet as they are waiting for me to arrive, and my son is not returning to Thailand until 1st week of June.. An AI Google search says, yes, you have to have insurance in place, but that's not really an official answer, so I will follow up and keep trying to reach someone at the Consulate General in NY in the meantime to get the right answer.. I just thought someone here may know if you need to provide proof of health insurance when applying for the DTV visa from the US..

Thank you in advance, everyone, for any input you may have to share.. 🙏🏽🌿

Hi :)

I plan to apply from France (soft power "thai cooking school"), and I'm surprised to see that the following is required :

"Proof of salary slip/monthly income for the last 6 months"

I found this information on the following website :

This doesn't appear on the official website ([members only])

Did anyone experience this request when applying from France or another country ?

Thank you for your help 🙏

Hello, I am a currently employed remote worker. I have applied for DTV from the US. I have a salary of around $70k yearly. Do I have to have 17,000 in savings or will 6 months of pay stubs and W2 suffice as proof? I watched a couple of YouTubers interviewing Naruchai Ninnad with Thailand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and I thought your monthly salary would be proof of financial requirements. Am I wrong?

Hi everybody,

A few questions about DTV:

- firstly: does it matter how long I have had the minimum 500K in my bank account?

- does anybody know if index funds also count as part of the 500K?

- is there any checklist of things that are ALWAYS a good idea to check before applying?

- how big is the difference between embassies and what are the best ones to go to right now?

Hello! I contacted the Vancouver consulate to get some questions answered about the DTV and they were fairly helpful but still didn't quite answer the question: do I need twice the 500k baht for me and my husband or just 500k for one? They said we can apply as a couple and one of us would need to submit a sponsorship letter because our bank is a joint account. Has anyone had to do that letter? Thanks!

I have been doing the 800000 in the bank since I got here but am send over well over well over 800000 a year to live but not always 650000 in a month obviously watching the exchange rates and send more over when hi and topping up when need. My bank statement will show this. Can this be used as the 650000 per month as I herd they add all amounts together and divide by 12. But also herd they take monthly amount and go on the lowest amount sent. Can anyone give my best options to get my monthy income cover my visa requirements rather than the 8000000
