Has anyone applied for the DTV Visa as a family? We are hoping to apply as a family of 5 in November and are wondering about the process. Can we all apply online at the same time? My husband would apply with myself and our three kids as dependents. Or does my husband have to apply first and get approved and then we can apply as dependents? Is proof of funds needed per person or just one total for the whole family?

Hi, has anybody show the bank statement with Revolut or Wise?

I use a personal Revolut account and my wife as a personal Wise account, has anybody successfully used one of the 2 to submit the proof of funds?

We will apply in Czech Republic as we are currently living here.

Hi everyone!

I am only interested to hear opinions from UK DTV visa holders, as it seems every embassy has its own set of rules, thanks.

This is my second attempt to get a DTV visa šŸ˜Š (my first try was in Penang this August). Iā€™m currently in Thailand, and due to work, Iā€™ll likely be flying to the UK in the next few days. I have a couple of questions:

1. Can I apply for the DTV visa online through the London embassy within the first or second day after my return to the UK?

1. For proof of residency, I have UK bank statements (personal account), a UK driving license (although it shows an old address), and *settled status* for living in the UK. Will this be an issue?

1. My main concern is proof of funds. My funds are in a WISE business account under my US-based company, where Iā€™m the sole owner. This led to my rejection in Penang, as the account wasnā€™t in my personal name. How is this handled in the UK? As a freelancer, itā€™s common to use a business account, and with an LLC, the funds arenā€™t directly in my name. Despite providing proof of ownership, it wasnā€™t sufficient in Penang.

Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know if the Thai consulate at Cebu asks for proof of funds when applying for a 3 months Non-O marriage visa? I plan to visit the Philippines with my wife and process my visa at the Cebu embassy.

Here is my DTV story. I am Canadian and have been living mostly in Thailand since January, 2022. This is my 5th time applying for an evisa in Canada. 2 SETV, 2 non-ED, and now the DTV. I had planned to apply for the workation category but I had a few concerns.

1. I am a non resident of Canada for tax purposes (I don't pay income tax in Canada). I saw many posts here of people either being asked for or voluntarily submitting their tax returns with their applications. As a tax resident of Thailand with no assessable income besides bank interest, I don't really have anything to submit in this regard.

2. Most of my income is from my own company registered in Hong Kong. I saw some posts here saying that some embassies were asking for company registration documents to be notarized by the embassy of the country where the company is registered or even not accepting a company registered outside of your home country or the country where you apply.

3. The workation category asks for too much personal information in my opinion. I suspect this information may be shared with the revenue department for future income tax collection if staying in Thailand over 180 days per year. Especially if they change the law to tax income not brought into Thailand, which seems to be under consideration.

After reading many posts here I realized that the soft power medical treatment category was the best option for me. The requirements are much simpler with much less scrutiny.

I was planning to apply a few weeks before my return to Thailand in October so I could use the visa for 1 last entry in 5 years from now and get 5.5 to 6 years out of the visa (I usually spend the summer in Canada and go back in early October). However I kept thinking that this visa is too easy and surely they will change it soon to make it more difficult. The anxiety was getting to me so I decided I better apply sooner than later.

I applied to the Ottawa embassy through the evisa system on Sept 2 and was approved today (Sept 10).

For my medical treatment, I started doing immunotherapy for allergies (allergy shots) at an allergy clinic before I left Thailand. I completed 15 out of the initial 40 weekly injections for the initial phase.

I had some documents with me from the clinic because I planned to check with a doctor in Canada about continuing the injections here. I asked a friend in Thailand to go to the clinic and ask for another document showing that I have a confirmed appointment in October to continue the treatment.

After the initial 40 weekly injections, there is a maintenance phase which requires injections at less frequent intervals. I feel confident that I can justify my continued use of this visa over 5 years if immigration starts asking for proof of continued medical treatment upon entry.

For the proof of funds, I used a statement from a Thai bank account. I requested a statement for August through the SCB app and it was sent to me by email. The only complication is that the PDF is protected with a password which is your date of birth. To remove this password, open the PDF, print, and then choose print as PDF. This will create another PDF without the password.

For proof of current location I used my Canadian drivers licence.

These 3 documents were the only documents requested by the evisa system. My application was approved without being asked for anything additional. No air ticket was required to be submitted but I had to enter a date for a flight out of Thailand as part of the application. I entered around 180 days out from my fight into Thailand but I don't think this really matters. I haven't booked a flight out of Thailand yet and not sure if I will bother. My understanding is that the flight out is not a requirement when entering with a visa, it's only required when entering on a visa exemption?

I'm very grateful for this new visa category. As someone under 50 and not married, this is exactly what I needed. I applied for an "elite" visa last year before the price increase but I was denied for having a previous ED visa even though it was from a real school and I was really studying. Turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Saved myself 1 Million baht!

Bank Details...

(this might be a silly question, but...)

When you provide proof of funds, are you just giving them your statement. With your account number, sort code, address etc all visible?

Or do you black out all the numbers except the last four digits or something?

And the same goes for printing off your bank statements...

how do you do it without sending a stranger in a shop statements with all your bank details on it??

Please advise on a visa agent that will get the DTV done with certainty, using ā€œsoft activitiesā€ as a basis. Proof of funds can be presented but proof of consistent monthly income may not.

Hi guys,

Iā€™ve had a lump sum of Ā£20000 (880k baht) in an Isa for over 6 months would that be ok as showing proof of funds?

Also my only work is hands off property investing through a Ltd company.

Do you think Iā€™d qualify for the visa?

From my research I would but just wanted your input!

Thanks!

Would someone please be able to confirm.

Does the 500k THB need to be in my account for 6months?

Or can I give them 6 months balance with the closing balance totalling 500k? If I transfer (top up my account to 500k) can it be freshly there?
