Can you help me quickly? My wife is applying for a DTV visa in Laos or Malaysia, and once she gets it, I'd like to apply for a DTV visa as her spouse. What other documents do I need for my application? We only have our marriage certificate in German 😬 Do we need to have it certified in English? Or is a translation sufficient? It's all a bit chaotic right now. I hope you can help.

Hey!

Arrived in Bangkok smoothly today.

Visa approved

· Thai Embassy in Ho Chi Minh

· 6 business days Processing

Soft Power Route with Cooking Class (6-month course) in Bangkok

Further information requested by the Embassy for your reference.

Good luck everybody. 🤗

Approved in Manila

US passport

-Applied via agent using Muay Thai soft power.

-Asked for additional documents the very next business day:

1. Proof of ongoing income. I have read other reports of Manila asking for proof of income from other applicants in this group. Note that this is in addition to the 3 months of statements showing 500k baht and that this is for a soft power Muay Thai app, not workcation. The embassy did not specify how much income they were looking for but apparently I met that threshold.

2. Proof of Muay Thai payment beyond the receipt (I provided a credit card statement showing the payment).

3. Thai translation of business registration for Muay Thai school.

-All documents submitted the same day they were requested. My visa agent also prepared a cover letter explaining my source of income.

-Approved after a total of 4 business days. No interview or further questions.

Overall a smooth process. My agent and Muay Thai provider were very helpful and responded quickly to questions and requests for additional documents. I used Siam Legal as the agent and FitFac as the Muay Thai provider for a 9 month course.

Hi anybody applied for dtv in laos, my question is did you have to take documents with you to the embassy and if so what documents did you take

Ps I know I submit documents online I want to know if I need to take anything to the embassy

Cheers

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to apply for the DTV visa as an American selling on Amazon and eBay. I run the business under my own name (sole proprietor), filing taxes in my name with a Schedule C (profit & loss form for a business).

I’ll be applying electronically through the Thai Embassy in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Does anyone know if Amazon and eBay stores screenshots (that show my name) are accepted as sufficient proof of a business? Or do they usually require additional documents like W9 from Amazon, bank deposit records from Amazon or IRS tax filings?

Would really appreciate hearing from anyone with similar experience or who’s gone through this process. Thanks in advance!

I just received an email for requested documents for my DTV application, but I don't know what to submit. Even tho I submitted most of supported documents in the original application.

Here is the list of requested documents:

1. A copy of the company's registration/business license along with GST registration

I do not have a registered business. I work as a freelancer with independant monthly contracts. What documents should I submit here? Can I submit my client's LLC? What else should I submit to support my case?

2. Flight details and Hotel accommodation

I had submitted the flight number (no tickets) & agoda hotel bookings. Do I need to book a flight now and submit the ticket itself?

My hotel bookings were booked on 'pay later/free cancellation' option. And they have expired, do i need to rebook or should i just submit the pdf that was submitted in the original application?

3. A foreign employment contract or employment certificate

I do not have a employee certificate, although I do have a few client's contracts. I was also advised to add a letter head and stamp of your name at the top of the contract. What do you suggest?

4. Copies of all pages of the passport

I can submit these.

PS. I am applying at the Mumbai's thai consular in India. From other's experience, they tend to look for strong proof of regular employment and if one can sustain themselves in thailand.

I am very grateful for this group and the people in this community helping each other out 🙏. Thank you so much to everybody! All respectful opinions are appreciated!

I applied for the DTV in the Netherlands. I got rejected because they were missing a document from the Muay Thai gym. But no one knows which document that is and the embassy can't clarify it more than:

a certificate issued to the school/gym from office of boxing sport board, sport authority of Thailand

Does anyone know what document they are talking about, what it looks like, or any information that can clear this up? All the official documents have been submitted but this one seems to be a mystery but they need it anyway.

Any clarification will be much appreciated.

Everyone applying from Taiwan in Person. Do you just have print outs of your documents?
