Hi US folks, I am applying from LA embassy.

My company has a remote work policy to work for 1 month. Should I print out a whole page of that policy and 1 recent payslip to apply?

How should i prove them im working for that company if payslip does not work?

Thank you in advance

Hi All, thanks to everyone on this group. Received my approval today via soft-power Muay Thai Fever from Derry McCourt.

Applied from Batam, Indonesia.

April 18th 5PM - Submitted Docs

April 24th 640PM - Approved, received email

6-months bank statement, last 2 months only 500K above.

Passport stamp and hotel key card photo as proof of location.

I stated unemployed and didn't provide Thai address or any flight details going to Thailand.

Total 4 business days only since April 18th is a holiday (Good Friday).

No additional docs/interview requested.

Had my DTV approved in 3 business days via Online application through Canberra Australia consulate. Very smooth process. If you're an Aussie, I reckon it's better to apply from home rather than a neighbouring country.

Has anyone printed their DTV in a reduced size, lamintated it AND been back through customs for a re-entry (with no problems)?

If so, what size did you have it reduced to?

Looking to see the smallest size i can get away with, hoping for A6!

Thank you all so much for the help! Successful got my DTV.

Applied from Ottawa April 11th

After a couple back and forth requesting documents

Received DTV only one week later Apr 18

If you have specific questions regarding my application to help with yours, feel free to ask.

Now I'm working on dependents

Before giving you the key points on obtaining my DTV Muay Thai visa, I would like to thank this wonderful community for providing us with all the necessary information.

Key points:

I applied for my visa in Hanoi

I found a Muay Thai club in Koh Samui

I had part of the 500,000 baht in cryptocurrency, and it wasn't a problem (contrary to what I had read on this group, in HCMC)

I provided my bank statements (for the last 3 months) in French

I received it in a week (from Monday evening to the following Monday afternoon)

I then had it printed in A5 format and laminated, I presented it at the airport, and my passport was stamped for 180 days

There you go! Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions 😉

Hi,

I am applying for a DTV and just got asked for more information. They are requesting both a company registration and DBD. I received the DBD form from the school, but they don't know what else would be required as the paperwork for the DBD form is their registration according to them

Does anyone know the difference between the 2 things, or what else they could mean as company registration? Thank you!

Does anyone have any actual knowledge on how long one needs to have been freelancing before applying?

I've seen conflicting statements here:

"You have no chance applying with a "new" business"

"Need to show 6 months minimum of income"

"Need to show tax return"

"It doesn't matter as long as you can prove you're a business".

So does anyone have the real deal info on whether someone can be accepted if they started getting clients, say, 3 months ago?

Hello, can’t see how this would hinder my application at all but thinking to go down the soft power route as I am interested in both cooking classes and cosmetic treatment in Thailand which I know falls under the medical category. In my cover letter would it be okay to evidence both of these or would it be better to just stick to one and provide documentation for it. I am applying through the London embassy.

Thai embassy in Sweden is amazing. I applied for the DTV visa online and two days after I received a request for additional documents. They asked for payslips and a letter verifying my remote work status. While my employment contract clearly states that I can work remotely, I also provided a letter from my CEO confirming this. I recieved my approval letter the same day I sent in the payslips.
