Hello everyone, I have a history of a lot of Visa Run (1 year and half) but never overstayed. Does someone got his DTV rejected because of long history of visa run?

In your point of view which place is the best to apply DTV? Which soft power get accepted more easily (Samui) ?

🙏🏻

My DTV was approved! 🎉

Thanks to this group, I got a lot of useful information. I’d also like to share my experience here in case it helps others.

Embassy: Hanoi

Visa type: Workation

Nationality: China

Timeline

* Dec 9 – Applied

* Dec 10 – Asked for additional documents (bank statement & more proof of income)

* Dec 13 – Submitted required documents

* Dec 22 – Application approved

My biggest lesson

I did not keep the 500,000 THB in my account for 3 months. I transferred the money at the beginning of December(which I do not recommend). It’s safer to keep the funds in your account for at least 3 months.

If you’re preparing to apply, I suggest reading more posts in this group to understand the requirements better.

But I spent a lot of time organizing my portfolio and bank documents to make sure everything was logical and clear to read, and I also demonstrated a stable source of income, maybe that helped😅

Documents I submitted

Bank statement section

1. Cover letter briefly explaining what documents were included

2. Bank statement showing 500,000 THB (last 6 months)

3. Income bank account statement (last 6 months)

4. One-year fixed deposit of 500,000 THB to compensate for the short holding period

Portfolio

1. Brief self-introduction (what I do and where my income comes from)

2. Proof of financial stability:

* Monthly income records (last 6 months)

* Professional profile page

* Income platform backend statistics

3. Statement of intent

Tools I used to prepare the documents

* ChatGPT & Gemini – to structure documents

* DeepL – to translate documents into English (free trial works well)

* iLovePDF & PDFgear – to compress and edit PDF files

Hope this helps, and good luck to everyone applying! 🫶

Started a Non O visa application 27/11/25 after getting various emails requesting further documents. I sent my final document 16/12/25. The web site still says processing application. I fly Christmas Day with no NON O visa. I’m will be in Thailand for 59 days. What can I do if I receive the visa while in Thailand. I was hoping to have it in place at my time of arrival as I need to open a bank account.

TIA of any help

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Hey everyone! 👋

I'm planning to apply for the DTV (Destination Thailand Visa) from Vietnam and have a couple of questions for anyone who's done it there recently.

I know they ask for 6 months of bank statements and 500,000 THB in savings, but:

1. Does the money need to be "seasoned"? By this I mean — does the 500k THB have to have been sitting in your account for a certain period of time (e.g. 3 months), or can it be a recent deposit as long as you can show the balance?

2. What documents did you upload to prove remote work? I'm a freelancer/run my own company so curious what actually worked for people — employment contract, invoices, company registration, portfolio, etc.?

Would really appreciate any recent experiences! 🙏

Hello there,

You guys know if having lots of stamps (due to constant border runs) on my passport could be reason to get my DTV denied?

Thank you!

Hi, I think it was a question before but I need some help. 😄 If you just started an online business but you dont have any income yet can you still apply for DTV Visa. Is there any chance to get it? Im a sole proprietor in my country (not like a company) and i just started a business, i dont have any income yet, but i have around 40k € on my bank account and can put more if needed.

As a United States passport holder with driver's licenses from Arizona and Georgia, I receive the majority of my US mail at a Georgia address. I am inquiring whether I can submit an application through the Los Angeles consulate, where the estimated processing time is approximately three days, or if I must apply through the Washington, D.C. embassy, which has an estimated processing time of three to four weeks.

Hello guys,

can i apply for dtv if im 37 years old, i partly receive some early retirment pension (health condition) and i have some income from renting properties back in my country?

Thank you

Just curiosity about procedures at Ho Chi Minh embassy

I have been asked for extra documents:

- Proof of being in vietnam, which i submitted already with the application, and i did add my flight and accommodation booking and payment

- email confirmation sent to the embassy from the muay thai school. (A 10 page document with all references was already submitted with the application)

- photos of all pages of my passport

Questions:

Is there any soecific reason about these requests of submission?

Does the embassy usually requests extra documents twice?

Thanks
