I got rejected & want to share my experience + hopefully get some advice on what to do next 🙏

I applied for the dtv visa at my Norwegian embassy as a remote worker. I had over 500k in my account and i showed proof of earnings from a foreign company.

I got rejected due to not holding 500k over the past 3 months, as i acquired the final amount the same month i applied. (This is understandable, even tho it did not state i had to keep it for that long in the application)

The other reason i got rejected was because i was earning too little compared to the average Norwegian salary. (They stated the average salary should be around 70k $ a year...)

I now plan to re-apply in desember as i have then held the money for over 3 months. The initial plan was to apply in Saigon but i have recently read its a high case of denied applications. Therefore i was wondering if anyone has any recent experience with the embassy in Manilla. If so, i would be really happy for any advice ☺️

I also plan to change my application to soft power activity (Muay Thai), because it seems like this way has a higher chance of getting approved.

I am wondering if anyone here has had experience with applying for a dependant on your DTV visa that is an adult child that has a disability. I know normally the requirements for a child dependant is under 20 yrs old, but I was told that as long as I can prove that I can financially support my son and have a letter from his doctor confirming his disability (since he can not work) that he can be approved . Any information would be greatly appreciated!

I am a UK citizen currently working internatiinally offshore on Oil Rigs. I work a 28/28 day rptation on a permenant contract.

Can I apply for a DTV visa on this basis and if so has anyone got any advice or tips to help smooth the way for me

Cheers

Hi everyone,

I want to briefly share my situation and ask for genuine feedback from people who have been in a similar case (please, no life advice or lectures 🙏).

Recently, I was denied entry to Thailand at the airport because I had done 3 border runs. One month later, my DTV application was rejected without explanation, even though I met the official criteria.

I still have important matters and all my belongings in Thailand, so I’m considering the following:

* Using a VIP service to re-enter on visa exemption (I hold a Spanish passport).

* Once inside, applying for an ED visa to gain more stability, attending classes every week.

How viable is this path in practice (VIP → ED)?

Do you recommend going straight for ED once inside, or any other legal option to stabilize my situation?

Thanks in advance for any genuine feedback based on real experiences.

Hello to everyone. I hope you can recommend me to find the best option for me in my situation. Thank you very much in advance...

I'm currently in Thailand and planning to leave the country in order to apply for the DTV visa. I'm self-employed in Spain and can show a bank account with regular income and a high current balance.

However, I see that the application might require bank statements from the past 3 months, and that's a problem for me, because in May I made a large investment in Spain that temporarily reduced my funds (I wasn’t planning to be applying for the DTV visa at that time).

Is there any country where they only will check the current balance and not the last 3 months? Or do I have no other option but to wait until 3 full months have passed?

I'm flying to Japan in 2 weeks, but I don't think it's the best place to apply.

Would it be better to go to Laos, Vietnam, or Malaysia, etc after Japan, before returning to Thailand (ideally already with my DTV)?

Thanks so much for your time and help!!

Applied in Jakarta from Bali on April 30th.

On May 6th it went to pending approval.

Just now I received the email with the approved DTV 🙏🏽

I do have one question. I need to apply for my 2 kids as dependents. Do I do this from my account or do they need to have their own? 🤷🏽‍♀️

Hey everyone l’m applying for DTV in tokyo's embassy but l’m only staying there for a work holiday visa. I'm french so my bank account statement is from a french bank and it seems like it's not being accepted by the embassy (They want a statement from japanese bank but i don't have japanese bank account). Also I've been submitted my employment contract but it seems like it's not good. Do you have any advise ? Is there a way to contact the people in charge of my application ?

Hi everyone,

I applied for my DTV visa on April 1st via the official website in Hanoi, Vietnam, and my visa is still pending approval. My flight back is scheduled for Wednesday at the end of the day, and I’m getting worried about the timing because Monday its holidays in both countries 😢

Has anyone experienced a similar situation? Should I contact the embassy immediately to get an update, or is it normal to wait a little longer? I’d really appreciate any advice or recommendations you might have.

Thank you very much!

I need a bit of advice.

I extended my 90 day O visa to a one year extension of stay on 15 Feb 2024. In the photo two dates are shown, 15 Feb 2024 & 26 Feb 2025. Do I need to apply for another extension of stay by Feb 15 or Feb 26?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Hi

My lady of almost 2 years and i are about to make application for her to travel to Australia

Shes on her 3 passport for travel to other countries mostly italy

Wondering if best moove is a tourist visa. A spouse visa partner visa. Or should i marry the girl if it makes it easier for her to come to Australia ?? Ive been told marriage visa is so much more expensive than other options.

Any advise on a successful application would be appreciated

I assume that shes travelled in the past may be an advantage

But also well aware Australia is tough to get into even though ive paid my taxes my whole life they choose who and were i can have a partner

If it makes any difference i hold a thai retirement visa mutiple entry drivers licence in Thailand etc 🤷
