Hi all,

This might be a silly question, but what if I get approved for a DTV visa now and only travel to Thailand at the end of 2026? Would the immigration officer mind that I waited so long to enter the country?

Thank you!

Has anyone used investments as proof of funds? I only keep 6 months worth of money in banks(I have low outgoings), the rest is invested. Just need to know if someone has managed to use proof of capital via investments?

Has anyone applied for a DTV with Phuket Muay Thai gym (location Rawai)?Please share your experience. Is it a trusted gym for DTV?

Any other gyms on Phuket support DTV applications (I also found Phuket King gym, but they have no refund policy according to their website)?

Hi!!

I am currently in Germany and have applied for the DTV visa. However, I would prefer not to wait for the approval in Germany. My plan is to travel to Thailand in the next few days under the visa exemption scheme. Once the DTV visa is approved, I would then travel to a neighboring country such as Vietnam or Cambodia, and re-enter Thailand a few days later—this time using the DTV visa.

Would this be possible?

Buzzing just got the email. Approved. London. Used Siam Legal. Very good. What part do you print & laminate? Thanks

I will need to apply for a DTV from the UK embassy.

What are peoples experiences of applications through there?

Having looked through a lot of posts etc, I am still confused by what is actually required by the London embassy as requirements seem to differ greatly between locations.

I have been told that London only requires the bank balance on the month of the application, not 3 months, that they do not check previous earnings ( I do have them ) and other diffferences in some requirements.

I would be applying as a freelancer with a portfolio of apps and my marketing business.

Could people who have actually applied through the London embassy please confirm what the emabasy actually requested so I can be fully prepared.

There is so much conflicting information out there that I need a better perspective from people that have actually done it.

Thanks

Hello!

We made application for Thai E Visa 13.10.25(two adults) for 20th days,our holiday in January 2026.

Only once Thailand Embassy in Ankara ask us for some documents to attach,we do that.

One of us already they send E Visa,but the other still in progress,and we wait!?

They didn't answer on mail!?

How long can we wait them for answer,get E Visa?

Thanks

Me again folks... I started from scratch and got it right this time. I will apply for a non-immigrant O visa. I'm already in Thailand, as I said yesterday, so I plan to go to Vietnam in a few weeks to send my application to the thai embassy in Hanoi.

According to what I just read, it can take between 3 to 15 days to get the visa. Is that accurate in most cases? If not, it makes it hard to plan a return date.

Also, in the requirements it says I need financial evidence showing monthly income of no less than 65,000 THB, which I have. But the canadian embassy does no longer give a certificate of income. The pension fund I have gave me an official letter stating how much money I get from them monthly. Is that good enough for the thai immigration or will I need a balance of 800,000 THB (e.g., bank statements for the last three months, sponsor letter)? Thanks again for your help, it's very appreciated.
