Hi everyone, for those applying for the DTV visa from Hanoi,Vietnam — has anyone received their approval in the past few days?

I submitted my application on March 19th, was asked to provide additional documents on March 20th, and my status changed to “Pending Approval” on March 21st. But there’s been no update since then.

From what I’ve seen before, most people got their visa approved within about 5 working days, so i just want to ask the situation…thanks

Awaiting paperwork from my home country which may take up to 3 weeks to process... But this freaking message is lingering! Haha.

**Incomplete applications over 14 days will be automatically removed from the system.

**How do I contact IO to get an extension on the 14 day crap?

I recently applied for DTV (Remote Worker)

I'm from USA and applied to the Washington Embassy

I originally applied for LTR-T WFT which is currently pending.

Impatiently waited 2 months for LTR so I applied for DTV too

While I wait for LTR to be approved, I now have 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.

Does anyone know if the embassy in Hanoi works on applications over the weekend ? Thinking of flying on a Saturday and submitting that night or Sunday am.

Hello. I am interested in the Thailand retirement visa, I know the details, it just seems a bit complicated and now it is also getting quite difficult to open bank accounts. I am considering getting a Cambodia retirement visa for a year, and after I open it, I can get a bank account quite easily. I may do this and then try to get the Thailand retirement visa when things get a bit easier. I am wondering if I might have difficulty getting a Thai retirement visa if I also have a similar one in my passport from Cambodia. Might this raise eyebrows from Thai immigration staff? Anybody have any experience with this? Thanks.

Hey good morning. Anyone else get asked for tax return as a document to upload?

💰 Time Deposit as Liquid Asset for Visa Applications? 💰

Hey everyone! Based on your experience, does a time deposit account count as a liquid asset for visa applications? 🤔💳

For the past 6 months, I have had over the required amount in a TFSA (tax free savings account). Would this technically qualify as proof of "bank" statements? It's a TFSA managed under a private wealth and asset management company in Canada. I'm so new to this. Thanks for your input guys.
