If you fly out of Thailand before your non-O visa expires (based on husband's non-b visa) then enter again as a tourist. Would you be able to apply for a new non-o visa through a new sponsor (based on mother's non-b visa) without the cancellation stamp in your passport from your previous sponsor? Fyi, sponsors visa are from different immigration offices.

Report from Manila. Successful DTV application.

This is quite an unusual application I guess so thought to share.

I got my DTV from London about a month ago, I'm a UK citizen. My partner is from Philippines, she has just been granted a DTV too, application in Manila.

We are not married, and she has not got the funds in her account. I wrote a sponsorship letter and provided proof of our relationship (3 years, lots of photographs and history of communication). Both on soft power (cooking class in Chiang Mai), also sent lots of evidence of my time in Philippines (passport stamps), and copies of my finances.

Approved in 6 working days after request for some secondary info (not complicated).

Any questions then fire away. I'm happy to answer anything if it will help other people.

I'm looking to bring my partners niece to England for a 2 month holiday.

Roughly how long does the process take?

I know that might be like asking 'how long is a piece of string' but maybe someone who has gone through the process could give me a rough idea?

And what is the starting point?

The UK or Thai Embassy?

Thanks

I applied for soft power. After about 2 weeks of document check pending status, they requested more documents. One was employment letter, I don't know what that has to do with soft power? I work freelance so can't really provide this anyways. The other requested document was bank statement, which I already provided that was well over 500k. Not sure what to do next.

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to apply for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) at the Thai Embassy in Jakarta.

Does anyone know if they accept sponsorship for the financial requirement?

Specifically, can I use my father’s bank statement together with a sponsorship letter and proof of relationship, instead of my own bank statement?

If you’ve done this or know someone who has, please share your experience.

Thanks in advance!

I have a question for the “sponsorship” part of the application if we choose to go that route, will be handling my girlfriends DTV visa and does the 500k baht need to be from her account? Or can i sponsor her showing proof of funds in my account? We are not married. Im guessing its a long shot but just curious to hear if anyone has gone this route

Officially from Ho chi minh in Vietnam for DTV Workcation, the information I read says we can use a sponsor for the 500k bhat in account.

After paying for the application they have stated that a sponsor is not allowed, and the funds need to be shown in my account for a minimum of 6 months.

Can anyone clarify why the sponsor cannot be accepted when everywhere I've looked it seemed a legitimate path?

Is this a glitch in the system? Did the rules change?

Hey everyone, I recently applied for the dtv visa and I got approved. Now I need to apply for my spouse, my question is do I need to provide financial proof for her that she has 500,000 baht?

If yes, would my personal bank account work if I have 1m baht and I write a letter sponsoring her fully for any financial needs? Thanks

Does anyone happen to know if I obtain a DTV and sponsor my son on it (He’s 20 yrs old) will his Visa be good for 5yrs as well? Or will it only be good until he’s 21? Thanks in advance 😊

Hi all!

New to this group and this whole visa process😂 quick question however!

Im about to apply for a DTV (Muay Thai) visa for myself, and sponsor my wife on a spouse option. Im just wondering, I have a personal bank account under my name exceeding way over 1 million baht, however, my wife’s personal account shows less than 500K baht, as we both only use ‘my’ account for all our expenses.

When applying for her visa, will we need to deposit xx amount into her personal bank account to reach the 500K minimum? Or will the bank account under my name only be sufficient, exceeding the 1 million baht?

I emailed the embassy, but no response, so just trying my luck here.

Many thanks!!😁
