DTV Approved!

I just had my application approved from the embassy in Jakarta.

Submitted on: 3rd December

Approved on: 14th December

Wait time: 11 days total (6 business days)

Submitted all the docs requested for the workaction route and additional docs based on the information I've seen this embassy requesting additionally just to anticipate the request.

Happy to guide people through my application if you want to send me a DM.

Hi, is there anyone who applied for DTV in Kuala Lumpur and got approval? How long is the processing time? And may I know the approval rate also? Thank you in advance.

Once the DTV is approved, is it effective immediately? I'm wondering if I will be able to go to Thailand before the "arrival date" I picked in the application.

Well, that was hard work completing the METV. Hopefully it’s approved or £150 down the drain.

I have my DTV interview next week in Vientiane, I have read that they will email the outcome before 2pm after the interview. What experiences have people had lately for the actual time you end up with the email?

Also if accepted, I understand printing out the acceptance email for entry into thailand is recommeneded. Would it be possible to get in with the emailed digital copy oinly? Cheers

December 3rd - Applied

December 4th - "Pending Approval"

December 9th - Approved

So all in all it took 7 days, but with the National Holiday and Weekend. A total of 4 Working Days.

I did the Soft Power Application. This is the following things I had.

Muay Thai Training Documents

Cover Letter

Company Recommendation Letter of Remote Working

6 Months of Bank Statements with Highlighted Income and ending balance over 500,000 ฿

Proof of location - Photo of Entry Stamp, Flight Ticket into Vietnam, Boarding Pass, Air BnB Receipt for Accommodation

I know that people who use an agency for the visa sometimes get slated and told it's a waste of money and so easy to do yourself, but if you are someone who is looking for that, I used A&S Visa Services AllSabaai Thai and they were first class. I flew into Hanoi on Saturday and my visa was approved yesterday! I honestly expected to be here at least a week (booked two weeks) so to have the visa already is awesome. Sent the agency my arrival stamp when I landed at 1am on the 6th and got my approval email at 6pm last night (Dec 8th). Any questions, fire away. Will be happy to answer.

DTV sponsorship letter

Hello, I want to say thanks alot for all the helpful information here.

Today my DTV was approved after about 5 weeks of waiting. I applied in Frankfurt, Germany using a sponsorship letter from my father, as I didnt have the required 500k baht constantly on my account. After 3 weeks it went to pending approval, and now 2 weeks later I got the DTV. They never requested for more documents. Just had to wait and stay calm :)
