I know I’m about to get crucified for asking a question that has been asked before, but there are many different answers and also from long time ago.

When applying in Ho Chi Minh.

Has anyone been accepted with having the 500k only a 2-4 weeks prior to application? So three months statement but only the last month having 500k in it?

I read a comment that people who got an ED visa in the past are often rejected for DTV.

Is this true? For worcation DTV too?

Any reports from Hanoi embassy rejecting people with ED visas from years ago?

I'm a freelance and meet the DTV requirements but I was on ED visa going to Thai language classes during Covid, and had 2 METVs too, last one 2 years ago.

Wondering if it would be a waste of money and time to apply for DTV.

2 DTVs approved from Canberra Australia.

Both my partner and I had our DTVs approved from Canberra swiftly and efficiently.

Applied on October 7th end of day. Mine was approved with no further document requests on Tuesday the 14th.

My partner's was cancelled on the 14th due to passport issuing date being wrong (we're sure this was a tech glitch due to passport auto fill as my partner triple checked his application before submitting). Canceled at 1:30pm Tuesday the 14th. Reapplied at 9pm same day. Just approved at 11am on October 16th. No further document requests.

Workcation category.

We both run our own businesses.

I'm an employee of my business. He's self-employed through his business.

Showed proof of regular income, more than 500k BHT in bank account. Payslips for 6 months from our companies.

Company formation documents.

Employment contracts that detailed the work we do for our company.

Cover letters that detailed every item we uploaded (written very simply like for a 4th grader).

Proof of location was a GPS and time date stamped photo (with an app from app store), plane tickets, and my Australian PR visa (I'm from the US, he's an Australian citizen).

We did not have return tickets booked. Just picked a flight for next Tuesday and said in the

Cover letter we'd book once visa was approved.

Also included TM30 (not our lease) which showed we have a rental for a year (which we got just before we came to Australia to apply for the visa).

Much simpler process than anticipated (although putting together all of the docs does take time - we used AI to help us write the letters, employment contract, and create letterhead).

It was so fast to get approval!! We're so happy.

Thanks to everyone in this group. It's been super helpful.

Biggest lesson: Just be sure to enter your passport details manually. Paying the application fee twice was a bummer but in all no hassles!

Uzbekistani citizens will be able to apply for a DTV visa from Bangkok?

Just an update on my fiancés K-1 visa journey….Today was her Visa interview in Bangkok. She was asked 7-8 questions, nothing personal and was granted a Visa which should come in the mail in about 5-10 days….Happy day !!!

Update: uk citizen, applied via London embassy, approved in 4 days.

Got all docs prepared. Proof of work (UK business ownership, copy of tax calculation, and recent payslips). 3-month bank statement showing CLOSING BALANCE of appropriate amount (this wasn’t seasoned) and screenshots of other non-instant access accounts to show additional funds.

We had details for flight in. Nothing needed for flight out.

No additional documents requested.

Hello all, would appreciate your input!

I am looking to apply for my DTV in a few months, through the Australian Canberra Embassy.

I've very recently started freelancing (less than a month ago), so my current income is still quite low (indefinite/permanent contract for $1000 AUD a month, but potential to increase with more clients in the coming months). I'll also definitely be able to fulfill the 500k THB requirement.

Does anyone have experience as a freelancer getting approved for your DTV, especially with a "lower" income?

Hello Group.

Just an info share. I submitted a non O visa request via the website at the Thai Embassy in London on the evening of the 24 June and received it approved this morning, 1 July. 3-4 working days, Very efficient. I know a few people have been asking on timescales, so thought I’d share my experience. Flight leaves in 8 days time 😊

Can I add the 500k baht to my American bank account a week before applying for DTV in Hanoi?

I’ll be in Hanoi on July 7 and want to apply while there, but nervous about being rejected if the money is not seasoned. Would love to hear experiences like mine.

For reference I am going the soft power route (6 month cooking class).

Hello guys I own a us llc and a UK LTD I want to apply for dtv visa how can I write myself an employment contract and is it important to get a salary? In the 6 years I own my business I never send myself a salary but just sometimes random amounts of dividends to myself could this be a problem? Is anyone here with a similar situation that got his dtv visa approved? Thank you in advance
