Soft power “how you intend to support yourself and future plans”
Hello everyone, I am applying for a 6 months Muay Thai course.
I practice this sport in Europe too, therefore a soft power DTV is perfect for my goals.
I currently have 800K in bank account, so over the 500K requested.
Plus I get every month from normal part time work in my country about 1000 euros.
If the embassy asks “how you intend to support yourself”, is it okay to simply say savings? Connecting it to their second question “what’s your plan after the 6 months course” basically I would like to keep practicing Muay Thai in Thailand, but I will probably need to come back to my home country for at least 3 months to finish my job contract. I am focusing on opening a business for online income for the future, but right now a normal job is the only thing I can do.
Is it okay for the application to state savings & come back to my country? Or should I say something different in the Cover Letter like saving & apply for a new Muay Thai course?
I have tried multiple times to submit my question about our situation which is obviously too complex for anyone to answer. But I will try again. Everyone is saying “Just get the right long term visa”and we would if we could. We are Kiwis so our visa application fees are literally four times the cost of every other country. Yes $2,000 for DTV or Retirement. DTV is not a great option for us because while we qualify for it, (I have ongoing contract software dev work) we do not know if we will want to keep going back for five years. So a rip off if we only use it once or twice for two months stay(s). Retirement is just a complete rip because we have to keep reapplying for it every year if we do keep going back to Thailand. We spent 140 days there this year and planning two x 60 day stays in 2026, who knows for 2027. Can’t work out what to do. Given the costs, what would be the right visa for us?
I'd like to ask you guys if I'm allowed to apply DTV Visa or what to do to get this visa.
I'm not working remote for company but only for myself. I have portfolio as I'm web designer and I have also real estate for rent in my country. But I'm not sure if this is ok for DTV visa. I have ofc 500k in Thai bank.
If above information is not enough what another way can I use to get this visa?
My friend applied for his marriage visa on the website in America. Took 6 weeks to get it. He got it the day before his flight. I got my marriage visa the same way took 4 weeks. I'm reading all about the crackdowns and difficulties people are having. Any thoughts on why this is getting more complicated in recent years?
How are you guys able to get your documents under 3 MB. They asked me for pcitures of every page in the passport book, hotel booking receipts, flight receipts, etc. I merged it all into one pdf file that wight around 35mb. I then compressed it to maximum 4 MB.
I’m applying for the DTV visa from Turkey. To avoid currency depreciation, I want to keep the required 500,000 THB in my USD savings account, but the account has almost no activity.
