I have two questions that I have looked for and I couldn't find any answers. If I missed something, I apologize.

1. If I apply in my home country and leave to another country (not thailand) before the approval, could that be an issue? and

2. I was asked for 500k THB (12500 Euro) which is less than 500k THB - did anyone get approved with only 12500 Euro instead of the 500k thb equivalent in Euro? I could get the money, but I wouldn't sell more stocks to realize gains/pay taxes and have it sitting around in a savings account if it can be avoided :D

Thanks a lot

DTV Visa Approved in Taipei with Investment Account Statements

Background:

My friend has been doing unpaid volunteer work for an NGO in Southeast Asia and applied for a DTV Visa using investment account funds.

Embassy Choice:

After researching several options, we chose the Taipei embassy (out of Ha Noi, Ho Chi Minh) for its more flexible approach, and it turned out to be the right choice. The embassy was very responsive and helpful.

Procedure:

- Several emails correspondence with them about the required documents for my friend’s case. We even printed them out for backup

- Arrived before 9 AM, no appointment needed.

- The officer questioned the NGO work and whether funds were in cash or stock, consulting her supervisor to see if my friend could apply. No money accepted.

- Returned at 4 PM to find the application accepted, and my friend received the visa the next afternoon.

I’m not going into details of the documents as you can find them online in their websites but just a few key points to my friends case:

1. Proof of funds:

- Money 13,000 GBP withdrawn from investment into investible cash 1 week before applying

- Provided screenshot of current investment account statement to show the money is in investable cash and can be liquided. Showing the same owner and transaction

- Bank statement in the last 3 months

- Statement of assest from the investment advisor to verify the ownership of the fund

2. Lots of proof (resume, profile, contracts) to validate the remote work, even its unpaid

3. A personal statement clarified how my friend met the DTV requirements without strictly fitting the standard rules.

I hope this is helpful.

DTV approved.

Danish citizen so applied through the E visa system Copenhagen.

Pretty simple and just submitted what was in the form:

Remote work.

Applied and paid the fee last Monday.

Work contract (Taiwan employment).

For the 500,000 i just took a screenshot of my account with current status.

As expected they asked for further documentation as my contract does not mention remote work, so a follow up document from my line manager sorted it out apparently.

Good luck out there

Hi,

I'm planning to apply for the DTV under medical treatment (dentist) at the embassy in Vientiane next week.

I've searched through all related posts in this group but there's limited info on this specific scenario, so I'm looking for some input/advice.

1. Has anyone else applied for the DTV under medical treatment (dentist) at the embassy in Vientiane?

2. If so, exactly what information did you need to provide?

3. Is there any reason why I should go to a different embassy instead? (I'm able to provide 6mths of bank statements >500k thb so that isn't a problem)

I've contacted the embassy directly and am waiting for a response, they usually redirect to their website though which doesn't give further info.

I'm currently in Bangkok, so before exiting I want to make sure I've got everything in order for a quick approval.

I'm yet to visit a dentist here in Bangkok, but will do later this week so they can send a summary of the work needed unless simply 'having a confirmed appointment' is enough.

Any input/advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Hello, has anyone been rejected for the DTV visa even when they brought all the required documents? My partner and I brought everything and were told that we pay but we might won’t receive the visa and there would be no refund.

Guys need some guidance in getting DTV approved. I have the documents ready to submit as self employed. Need some gudiance on

1. Which neighbouring country of Thailand have smoothest and fastest approval process

2. How can I apply and submit the documents to them?

3. Do I need to be that respective country during the process?

4. What’s the estimated time from application to approval.

Would love to hear from you guys, thanks

I'm heading to the UK for 2 weeks with my Thai girlfriend for my cousin's wedding, so she'll need a visitors visa, can I do it from here or do I need to go through the UKGOV site? $152 WTF isn't that a bit steep for a visa.

Interested to know (now that Savanakhet consulate Laos has stopped issuing ME Non O visa)

What documentation is required for the Proof of income (40,000 baht) per month for 12 months at local immigration offices to obtain the marriage to a Thai national and get the equivalent 12 month stay??

Good afternoon,

I am visiting Chiang Mai with tourist visa and I have only one month vacation. I want to change my visa to Non-immigrant O visa. I have some questions about the required documents:

1- Do I need a tenancy contract for one year or just TM30 registration receipt from a hotel room with one month period of stay?

2- is one month enough for the process to get the 90 days Non-immigrant O visa?

Thank you so much for your help

Hello 👋 I’m trying to apply for a 60 day tourist visa and have ran into a few problems.

For document 4. Do I need accommodation booking for my whole stay? For document 5. I’m going as a tourist so don’t have a confirmation letter? And I’m travelling solo so I don’t have an invitation for document 6.

Has anybody else had trouble with this? And how did you work around it?

Thanks in advance!
