Can you edit the application at the embassy? I put the place of issue as Shanghai since this is where the passport was issued. Doesn't make sense to me that I would need to put America because it's an American passport, they know it came from America. Same with any other country. Why have that on there if the answer is just the country of the passport?

It's a holiday here so no one will look at it until Monday. So I plan to go there first thing in the morning to change it.

Hello,

I'll be heading to laos next week(Vientiane) to submit my application and I'm not really sure what to do under the occupation part. I'm not yet at state pension age but do get a small monthly private pension (not a great deal) . I haven't worked for a few years but I don't really need to, so was wondering should I just put unemployed? I have more than the required 500,000 in one account that has been in there for around a year but if I put unemployed I wonder whether they will see the small monthly deposits from the pension fund and get a bit curious? I know no one can say for sure but I'm torn between the putting retirement or unemployed.

Thanks

When applying at London embassy for soft power DTV Muay Thai it says employment status i am currently unemployed with no income but substantial savings in crypto/bank

even when you choose the unemployed option it still asks for annual income any advice what to put .. there is a “no income” option or a “below $20,000” and other options with higher income brackets

Not sure what to put if i put below 20,000 will they want to see further proof of that income even if it is soft power

will i risk being denied the visa if i choose the no income option even though it is soft power and i have the 500,000 available

Can I apply for the DTV via e visa process in Da Nang? How long does the process usually take?

Hi everyone,

I just got a request to submit further documents.

1. I submitted sponsorship letter from employer and bank certificate showing only balance. (I have spendings in EUR, USD and local currency, so bank statements will be in 3 currencies separately if I submit like that). I can also submit only salaries for whatever period, it’s not even specified. I transferred 500000 from savings account to show before applying (Jan 14). Please advice what’s the best approach?

2. I submitted employment certificate and organization registration papers both in English, not sure what to do here.

Any ideas please?

Thanks a lot!

Hi all. I wonder where is better to apply for DTV visa in Cambodia (Phnom Pehn) or Laos(Vientiane).I'm in Bangkok now. Do I need visa for Cambodia or Laos and can I get it when I arrive. How many days should I book a hotel. What currency should I take with me and can I use my credit card there.Where is better for tourism and can I go to see another city until i wait for visa approval.Where in Bangkok can I make photos of me for the visa.Thanks in advance.

Dear all, what do you input in the "duration on Thailand" question❓

Sharing an experience about being rejected without reason in Cambodia after supplying all documents and meeting all requirements.

Applied Jan 14

Pending Approval Jan 15

Rejected Jan 28

Canadian Passport

Soft power with Discover Thai Nature

No additional documents requested. Birth date, passport number, expirations all correct, 500k in the account with 3 months provided. Same soft power invitation that others were successful with prior to the new year.

I went to the embassy in person to try to talk to someone and they just kept saying to apply online and call the phone number. They also said just fly to Bangkok and they will sort me out at the airport (lol). When you call the phone number it just hangs up when you request to speak to an operator.

You can see through the window that they are just eating oranges and playing iPhone games.

Some reports of others as well just being arbitrary rejected for all soft power ever since the change to 10 business days processing time.

Hey everyone. I'm planning to apply for dtv from Los Angeles for muay thai classes. Do I need to sign up for 6 months? Or is one month enough to get approved? The school is saying 1 month has been approved specifically from Los Angeles but I'm wondering if anyone has personal experience.

Hi everyone is it applied last night and got this email this morning. I uploaded these exact documents yesterday lol. I did use pdf merge tool so they were part of about 5 other forms. Should I just send again separately?

Anyone else have similar situation
