Hi all,

I recently had my DTV approved in just 72 hours! I’m from the UK and applied from London.

This forum has been incredibly helpful during my process, so I thought I’d give back by sharing my experience and offering to answer any questions about the process.

For my application, I was asked to provide an employment contract and a recent utility bill, and I was approved the next day.

One piece of advice: Be super thorough when checking the details on your application. For example, the numbers automatically uploaded from your passport can sometimes be incorrect and may need to be manually corrected.

Also, don’t leave anything to chance. If you’re unsure about a particular question, don’t guess—take the time to find the correct information.

Hi, with the SETV if you don't have a definitive itinerary...what is the best way of uploading accommodation details for UK applicants. I've got the first night booked in Bangkok and have evidence of that but want to be quite flexible after that......i understand only having one night may raise the question of why 60day visa is needed. Thank you in advance.

Another question for uk applicants of non-oa retirement visa. The UK disclosure and baring police background check is too big for my A4 scanner .. how did you deal with this? Just scan as much as you could ensuring key elements like name address were included? Or…?

Thanks
