Question for anyone who’s applied for the Soft Power DTV through the LA consulate:

I transferred funds into my savings to meet the $16k requirement, but my final $2k deposit didn’t hit until June 2—so my May statement shows $14.8k, while June and July will both show over $16k.

Has anyone been approved even if one of the three required statements showed slightly under the threshold?

Wondering how strict they are about hitting the $16k mark *every* month.

Thanks in advance!

I have recently heard about needing to have the required 500k for atleast 6 months in your personal bank account.. By the end of this month I have well over 500k but not for 6 months yet..

Do any of you have experience with this? If this is true I have to wait a lil longer to apply😩

Planning to submit for Muay Thai soft power DTV in Hanoi, I’m a full-time forex trader. What doc can I use to provide, has anyone who’s trader got approved?

Can you guys please guide me. I heard that immigration officers sometimes ask for showing 500k Thai baht when doing border run.... On dtv it is not allowed to open bank account, then how will I show that I have 500k Thai baht? Can I show my funds in dollars in PayPal or wise or payoneer? Will they accept it?

Quick question -

I was asked the followings as extra documents to provide -

* "Document indicating current location: Documents without an English version is recommended to be translated at an official translation office in Vietnam. A financial statement is required, including bank transactions from the last 6 months and an account balance of at least 500,000 BHT."

I did share way more than that as a proof of funds in my Interactive Brokers accounts (financial institution). and I attached a proof of the ownership of such account under my name. I even highlighted the numbers and name... And yes, everything is in English.

Could someone explain me what am I missing? I might have skipped the bank statement for the previous 6 months, but even if I share it, I don't hold such sums on my checking account, it's not gaining any interest there...

Did anyone experience such thing? Would appreciate some wisdom...

I got my DTV approved on 9th April from thailand embassy in HCM vietnam then arrived at Bkk airport on 10th April no question asked the officer did not even look at DTV visa on my phone as I believe it’s already on their system when they scan my passport. I left bkk on 13th May through autogate then came back to Bkk on 17th and again no question asked as quick as hundred of times I entered Thailand with visa excemption.

Hello all, has anyone encountered any issues during a visa application when submitting proof of funds from a Credit Union account rather than a 'high street' bank?

# ✨ DTV Workation Visa *– Approved 12 days – No question asked!** *

Here’s how it went:

* Applied online (Jakarta, Indonesia): Sunday, May 4th

* Requested additional document (proof of stay in Indonesia): May 15th

* Approved: May 16th at 10:00 AM

As a self-directed portfolio manager with 80% of my assets in crypto, I wanted to be as transparent and detailed as possible. My application included:

* A 1-year transaction history from three traditional bank accounts supported by screenshots of those bank statements.

* A 3 months transaction history of my neobank account, also supported with a screenshot (used for daily expenses).

* A screenshot of one of my crypto portfolios

* A cover letter explaining my financial situation and lifestyle.

* A brief overview of my digital nomad journey through dozens of countries.

* A summary of my funds, how I manage them, and all values converted to THB.

The process was surprisingly smooth — just 12 days from start to finish, knowing that it includes one full weekend and 3 days holiday!

I have a us llc that has 0% tax, but the company is new so i still havent had my yearly tax fill. Will this give me issues with dtv application (applying in bali)?

i can prove the money in the bank, send my freelancer info and invoices but not much in terms of taxation

I'll try to make this as succinct as possible:

* 15Mar: Arrived BKK on a Non-O, staying in a private residence, TM30 submitted

* 25Mar: Got the "official" TM30 from immigration, this allowed me to open bank account, deposited 800K THB that day.

* 30May: Planning visit to immigration to get 1 year extension for Non-O

* 12Jun: Current Non-O stamp in passport expires

Questions:

* What do I need to do to have a smooth experience with immigration on 30May?

* I know I have to go to my bank and get...something??? Official letter? Stamp in my passbook? Something else?

* Do I need to do ANYTHING else other than proof of funds? Refresh the TM30? Etc?

I assume I can initiate this as soon as the funds have "seasoned" i.e. 2 months in bank. I don't want to wait until the last minute and have my current visa expire due to issues with immigration.

Thanks...
