GOT DTV in 1 day 🙏 . BIG thanks for the group and all , My Experience with the DTV Visa - Applying from New Delhi ,India

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share my experience applying for the DTV Visa under the muay thai. I was worried too since it was my first time and i was also thinking to apply from Indonesia if i get rejected here .

I applied for the DTV Visa on 8 april late evening time from India, selecting the New Delhi embassy. I paid the visa fee of 10,000 THB via bank deposit at a DBS Bank branch on 9 april , yesterday and emailed the embassy for payment proof and waited few hours. I received an email back from embassy requesting me to also send them payment summary acknowledgement since i forgottl to send before so i did that and tbh i was very worried about it since i read many posts here and some of them are disheartening. But with all luck and support, I received an email this morning that my visa was for approval in just 1 day .

Documents Submitted:

1. Muay thai acceptance document with 6 months course booked .

2. Bank certificate showing my balance of more than 500k baht . It was a certificate not a statement and also added 2 months of bank statement.

My recent income tax return, showing my annual income and also screenshots of my youtube analytics.

For proof of current location, I submitted my national ID and then a cover letter stating that i am a content creator and getting revenue consistency from fb and youtube .

That’s all I submitted.

I hope this helps. 😊 Thanking you all .

Approved through US Consulate.

Applied Feb 18th. Requested additional documents March 3rd, Approved March 5th.

I applied online through the evisa site on the 18th through Workcation catagory.

I am self employed but did not have the funds required for the visa application so I had my dad sponsor me with his savings account.

Was initially worried about that being under workcation catagory but after I applied they just needed an employement verification letter signed (by myself) and they approved it.

I submitted:

Letter of Intent, Employment Contract, Proof of Work (Link to my site and invoices), Sponsorship Letter, Bank Statements (I used 6 months), Copy of My Dads Passport for ID verification, and Employment Verification Letter. I had already purhcased my flight and made a hotel reservation for my travels (March 31st is my flight out)

I wanted to say thank you to this group as I combed over tons of posts before submitting my application. I have never been anywhere outside of the US and Mexico (right across the border) but this has been a dream for going on 10 years now so I am so hyped to make it happen.

I used ChatGPT throughout my process to help me draft letters and follow the requirements with the DTV. I had ChatGPT make editable templates of all the letters I submitted if that would be helpful I put them here in a shareable folder (just make your own copy of them as needed).

Hello

I have a question about extending my non-immigrant visa.

I have a 90-day visa to visit family, can I extend it by 60 days at the Buriram immigration office, for example?

I am now with my wife visiting family in Satuek and we would like to stay longer in Thailand.

I heard somewhere if you are married to a Thai woman that you could extend 60 days to 150 days once, if that is possible, which documents should I show/submit?

I hope I get the answers here that I haven't been able to find anywhere .

I’m traveling to Thailand on May 3. I need a 60/90 day tourist visa for a yoga course. I am American so I get a 30 day visa, but in terms of extending.. I fly into Bangkok, then off to Koh Phangan. Where do I need to go in Bangkok to get a tourist visa and what documents do I need? I do not have access to printer. Thanks ahead of time :)❤️
