I was recently approved for the DTV by the London Embassy - soft power.

It wasn't an easy application for me. I found the uploads difficult. I diligently printed out pages and pages of bank statements but, in the end, could only upload one page - a summary of my current account.

Following my application, I was asked for evidence of my flight. I hadn't bought one as had been told it wasn't necessary. I then felt I had to buy one that left within three months, which was earlier than I wanted to leave, due to the time limits outlined on the application page.

The Embassy then wanted an eticket. Norsk does not provide them apparently and, in any case, I couldn't get through to them. I rang the Embassy and explained the situation. I then cancelled the flight and bought another ticket that leaves in 4 months' time. The Embassy employee said that would be OK as long as the start date of the course corresponded to the departure date.

I also had to send another photo taken with my phone. That was also rejected and I was asked to resubmit it - a glitch in their system it seems.

Anyway, I'm writing this just in case any of it is useful to someone else. I found the whole process a bit of a nightmare, despite the form itself not being too difficult. I found being able to speak to someone at the Embassy helpful.

All the best!

Hi. I’m applying for DTV via soft power Route in London. My bank I use and have my savings in is Revolut. Will I be able to use this as my financial proof? I recall seeing somewhere that revolut isn’t allowed in some countries

Hello everyone, I need some advice. I’ve just applied for the DTV in the UK embassy, but I accidentally selected “freelancer” instead of “employee.” Now, they’re asking for supporting documents: a self-assessment tax return, statement of accounts, or an accountant’s letter, which I don’t have.

Would it be ok to submit my payslips instead and explain that I made a mistake in the application?

Thanks in advance

Has anyone used a CNI issued in UK to get married in Thailand

When applying for DTV in London, how long do you have to have 500k in the bank?

London embassy just said my husband has to be a UK resident to apply for the DTV. Nowhere on the Thai evisa website does it say you have to apply from your country of residence. I've emailed them back saying this and that there is countless evidence of people applying with hotel bookings, and asking for more confirmation. Did anyone else get a response like this?

Thank you

Has anyone applied DTV from the UK? How long does it take to get approval from there?

Thanks in advance!

I've been applying from the UK for a Muay Thai DTV and have been asked to go to the Embassy for an interview. Has anyone had this experience? All my documents are in place and everything was sent to them as requested.
