Hi All,

Has anyone from UK succesfully applied for the DTV at the embassy?

If so, what proof was required for the proof of funds in the account? Thinking of possibly lending the 500,000 and putting in my account for the application until it is successful. (I have a remote job with regular income so will afford to live but just dont have that amount of savings just sitting there)

Thanks in advance

Hi. Wondering how many successful DTV holders here from London embassy ? Or if any one from Uk had problems obtaining. My personal experience is only for NON B multiple entry in April this year. Instead of multiple I only get single entry but was charged x3 for multiple and I know I can forget about the refund.

I applied for the visa and received it within 5 days. I applied on Monday evening, received an email requesting additional documents by Wednesday midday, submitted them straight away, and was approved by the end of the day on Friday.

To be honest, I approached it quite casually and didn’t put much thought or effort into it. When I first submitted the application, I included some documents, but as I said, not much effort: I attached a plane ticket for an onward journey (I wasn’t sure when I actually wanted to travel yet), one bank statement, one payslip, and one of my contracts (which was only for 3 months). They then requested additional documents (as shown in the picture).

For proof of remote employment, I wrote the letter myself (with help from ChatGPT), explaining that I do contract roles remotely, etc. I didn’t use anything fancy, just a Word document, and signed it as the director of my company. I didn’t even sign it manually—I just typed my full name and added 'Director of [company name]'. I then took screenshots of my last 3 job contracts (3 months each) and included them in the letter.

Note: I only established my company in January this year, and I started contracting the same month. I also submitted a bank statement showing three times the amount of money they required. For the photo, I took a selfie with my phone and edited the background to white as requested.

I also bought a proper plane ticket and sent the proof of it.

Settle status doc as proof of address.

That was it. It was for the UK embassy. I hope this helps!

Following my DTV approval last week from the Uk embassy London (took 3.5 days); I applied to a dependant DTV for my child, which arrived this morning. The dependant DTV took 36 hours to receive from the point of payment. Both cost £300 EACH and needed seperate applications. I submitted the same proof of funds for both my application and for the dependant visa. Process for both was very straight forward, the dependant visa needed a Birth Certificate but apart from this, both were almost identical. Hope this helps. Good Luck.

Right everyone… I’ve been to apply for the DTV visa in Penang, Malaysia…

I have to go to KL to get a stamp from the UK embassy on my employment confirmation letter. For some reason payslips, a contract, and employment confirmation letter isn’t enough.

It must be stamped by a UK embassy or by your company(original document with stamp). I assume this will apply to anyone who is applying is person.

The documents needed are as follows for those applying for the workation option:

-Visa application form (you can fill this out at the embassy)

-Proof of 500,000 THB (I used PayPal statements)

-2 Passport sized photos of yourself

-Employment contract

-Employment confirmation letter with a stamp from your company or home countries embassy.

-Passport

It seems like they are ensuring there is no way people can lie about their employment or whatever with this measure… it’s a logistical nightmare though.

I recommend anyone coming to Malaysia to just apply in Kuala Lumpur as your embassy will likely be located there (check before hand)

I also called them to ask if I can provide any other documents instead of having to go to my embassy and they said no. 🙃

DTV done ✅

It wasn't as hard as you might think. There was only one bit about the company and what to show as evidence that I had to check again ...I did ask on here (but got a smart arse reply from someone but I got banned a day for replying back to them ...but that's another story)

Two days through the UK evisa from start to finish.

A retired UK national in Thailand about to do the "Extension of Stay" at Hua Hin Immigration Office having arrived on 90 Day Non-Imm O visa. Was told that I need to have the following but then someone else told me that this is not the correct list -

Must be 50 years old and above - I am.

Passport (signed copies of each page) - is it really signed copies of ALL pages or just the biodata pages?

Non-Immigrant O Visa - assume that this just means a copy of the passport page showing the O visa stamp?

TM30 receipt - this would be the current/last TM 30 receipt?

Proof of meeting Financial Requirements such as bank statement (for income) - would this be the same bank statements that were supplied when applying for the "O" e-visa?

Income Certificate from the embassy in Thailand (applicant’s nationality) - been told that this is not necessary? Is it and if so, why?

Thai Bank Book showing deposit account (original)- does it need to be all pages showing all the transactions on it?

Letter from your Thai Bank (certificate must be signed by the bank official) - to say what? Is a letter/certificate from the bank also needed or not necessary?

Three (3) 4×5 cm photos, with full face taken within the last 6 months. I have.

Proof of permanent accommodation in Thailand such as lease or rental agreement. I have.

Anything else 'missing"?

Multiple Re-entry Permit - can I get this at any airport e.g. Hua Hin?

Thanks all

I live in Nakhon Phanom, I want to open a Kasikorn or Bangkok bank account but I am finding it very difficult, they're asking for a guarantee letter from the UK embassy in Bangkok. I'm on an AO visa. Any advice would be appreciated, even info on the letter and how to get it.
