Approved in hcmc about 2 weeks ago, landed in bkk, no questions asked. Personally, I don't worry about any questions on future entries. I'm pretty sure Muay Thai training will become a habit and I'll continue the activity that gave me the DTV.

Finally approved! After 24 days in Penang, Malaysia.

I did the process on my own without the help of an agency and that's probably why it took so long.

I arrived in George Town on the evening of February 15th, submitted the visa application on February 16th.

February 20th 1st request for additional documents, but I only saw it on the 23rd.

From February 23rd to March 10th every 2 days I was asked for additional documents, or the same ones but to be modified, without explaining what didn't fit well, so I went a bit randomly, a bit with the help of some answers here on the group.

My photo was rejected 2 times, due to some shadows, I was asked for the bank statements several times, my money was split between multiple accounts, in the end I moved them all to a single account.

On Monday 11th morning I went to the consulate in person, they didn't let me in, but I had the chance to speak to an assistant, showing him my bank app because he told me that it was possible that they thought my bank statements were fake.

After saying goodbye to the assistant, 90 minutes later my visa was approved.

Documents submitted:

Photo, passport, proof of residence in Malaysia, employment contract, 3 months bank statements with more than 500,000 THB.

Additional documents requested:

Financial statement + total balance with 500,000 THB (requested 3 or 4 times on different days),

proof of my work, my letter explaining my work in detail (already explained in the employer's letter (the company is mine and my husband's), why I want to live in Thailand, how long I will travel to Thailand and if I have an office in Thailand,

extract of the company's trade register + cover letter of the company,

passport photo with the Malaysian stamp.

DTV Visa approved in Helsinki

Applied through e-visa system.

Fee was 350€

-Sent my current balance ( required was 15000€)

They asked additional last month's bank statement, was my ''savings'' account, so I had just a few transfers there. Sent and was good.

-For proof of location sent a telephone company bill

- Proof of digital nomad status/portfolio

At first sent a picture of my webpage where I had collection of my works, but that didn't do. Then sent my business register info. That wasn't enough as well. Wrote to them and asked what was needed, I was told I needed a letter from company head stating i was doing remote work as a freelancer and job description in a few words. Wrote the letter to myself as the head of my company, just a few sentences that I work remotely as a freelancer and what I do. Sent, accepted.

Hope this helps someone 😊

Asking about DTV Visa Application

Has anyone applied for a DTV Visa at the Royal Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, and been approved?

I'm planning to apply there soon and would love to hear about your experiences.

Thank you.

Last section in e visa application has a couple of requirements, for documents to be uploaded to prove your resident of that country that your applying from.

Previous uploads prove this, with bank, pension and utility statements.

Can you upload the same document twice, I'm in the UK.

I can't remember what I uploaded in 2021, or has it changed.
