Hi everyone!

I’m preparing my DTV application through the Thai Embassy in Rome (E-Visa) and would love some feedback on my financial documentation strategy. I’m applying under the Soft Power category (Thai Culinary Arts/Cooking Classes).

I have well over the 500k THB requirement in my personal Bank account, but my funds were recently moved from a Time Deposit (within the same bank) back to my Savings Account and finally to my Current Account to show the total balance for the application. Has anyone recently applied at the Rome Embassy? How strict are they currently with the "3-month history" if the money was internally moved between accounts (but stayed within the same bank)?

I’m applying as Unemployed since the Soft Power category doesn't strictly require current employment proof, unlike the Workcation route. Did you face any issues applying as "unemployed" as long as the 500k THB was present? Could the embassy deny the application without proofs of a stable income?

Thanks in advance for any tips or recent experiences!

Can anyone tell me what one is supposed to put under 'employment details' when doing the application for a child aged 5? Do I put my employment details as her mother or do I choose 'unemployed' and 'no income'?

Hi everyone, for those who have applied in Hanoi, Vietnam as Muay Thai applicants and submitted 500,000 Thai baht of savings, did you state ‘unemployed’ with zero annual income on your application, or did you approach it differently? How did you handle this part of the process? Thanks in advance!

Planning to do DTV evisa under Muay Thai in Hanoi. Currently not working. Is it not a problem to put under occupation "unemployed"? Will it not damage my chances to get the DTV? Although I do plan to register income as I have income from rent.

Or is the occupation filed just to understand what you do in life as I'm applying under Muay Thai course.
