Does anyone have advice for me trying to be the US financial sponsor for my friend in Pakistan trying to get a tourist visa to Thailand?

This question is not for getting a visa into Thailand, but for a Thai person getting a tourist visa to the UK. She is working, 50 yrs old and will have a return flight.

Has anyone had any problems with a Thai friend getting into the UK for a holiday, and meet a friend?

I submitted my DTV application at Thai consulate Dubai with all documents including a bank statement (6 months) and closing balance certificate. I got a request for uploading additional documents which also says "Financial evidence: an amount of no less than 500,000 THB (e.g., bank statements for the last three months, sponsor letter) (The other bank statement to support for 3 months as well.)". I am not sure what do they mean by "other bank statement" since I only have 1 bank account and already uploaded the statement. Can you someone please help or share a similar experience ?

I'm planning to apply for a DTV (soft power) in a few months and also my partner from the Philippines will also apply.

I'm wondering if she needs the equivalent of 500,000 THB in her account or whether I can write her a sponsorship letter. We are not married. I've got more than 1,000,000 THB in my bank so I can cover both our applications. We've known each other for 2 years and have loads of evidence that our relationship is genuine.

I don't really want to transfer the money to her account for three reasons. 1) The cost of the transfer 2) Lower interest rates 3) Our lack of trust in Philippines banks.

We are planning to make both applications in the Philippines.

Has anyone had any experience of applying with a sponsorship letter when the person being sponsored is not married (or not a direct family member) of the person sponsoring?

Thanks in advance

EDITED: P.S. my husband, who as stated below,, already has his Non-b and a registered business in Thailand, and will be my sponsor. My remote work is commission based.

To obtain a DTV visa, there is the 500,000 thb required, some people stipulate that 30 days are accepted while others stipulate 3 months are needed.

The 500,000 thb is not a problem, however, there is also the "letter of sponsorship" option. Has anyone applied with the letter of sponsorship?

My husband has a Non-B with work permit and registered business, and I work remotely for a company in South Africa.

Initially we were going to go the Non-O dependent visa route, but due to the remote work I'd actually prefer the DTV (can't work on Non-O obviously).

I'm currently in Thailand on a 60-day visa exempt and realize I would need to apply from outside of Thailand.

My ultimate would be to find employment over here and also just go the Non-B route, but it's a bit tougher than expected because I unfortunately don't hold a degree.

Thank you, and looking forward to receiving positive and helpful comments.

If I am sponsoring my spouse and had well above the $$ needed in my account, plus showed a high monthly income, why did their dtv come back wanting them to have $ too? Spouse has no independent earnings beyond ssdi and not much in bank.

I am a HK PR and would like to apply from HK. I have the $150k required but it hasn't been in my account for 3 months. I am not currently working so would a sponsorship letter from my partner along with their bank account statements suffice?

I should also add I am pregnant and planning to have the baby in Bumrungrad in Oct/Nov. Has anyone applied for the DTV under the medical route to give birth? I have already talked to the hospital and they have said they will provide letters etc.

If HK is too picky, would Taipei be a good next option as they mention they accept sponsorship letter on their website.

Me and my girlfriend want to get a DTV visa. I meet the requirements (business owner in UK, 500k+) but she doesn’t.

It is possible for dependents to also get a DTV. How can she become a legal dependent without marriage?

If my wife doesn't work, can I sponsor her on my dtv visa.

I'm a digital nomad that has been traveling on tourist visas and surviving on less than THB 500k for the last few months. At the end of this month, I will receive a "top-up" that puts me over the 500k requirement for the DTV.

Am I not eligible for DTV until I have 3+ months of bank statements showing that amount in my account?

I read some posts in this group where people mention writing a cover letter of sorts to explain your situation. Perhaps that could improve my chances.

Maybe sponsorship is the better approach. I will be applying at the embassy in Hanoi.

Any advice is much appreciated.
