Hello, my dtv application needs further documents but I don't understand everything.

1. *"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 gave them my bank history for the past 3 months issued from my bank website, and over 500.000 THB and not in english. Is the problem only that they want 6 months now ?

2. *"Please provide details about your current work, including (1) your CV or portfolio, and (2) examples of your work, along with any supporting materials that demonstrate your experience and qualifications."* I am a video editor, how do I prove that ? I have a youtube playlist with all my videos but how is that a proof of anything ? Can I ask my main client a letter ? What does it have to contain ?

3. *"Please provide a business registration document showing the company name, the name of the legal representative, and a company profile that includes details about its history, vision, mission, products, and achievements."* I gave them the only document I can find on Urssaf (for french), which is my certificate of affiliation, including my full name, which is the name of my society.

4. *"Please provide the latest copy of your full passport, including all pages (even the empty ones). If you have a Temporary Resident Card (TRC), kindly submit it along with the passport. The photos must show the date and time they were taken."* What do they mean by that ? There is 30 pages in a passport. They just mean the first ones until there is no more stamps right ? How can I show the time my photo was taken ? They can just use metadata...

How frustrating this is!!! Im struggeling with this picture upoad where everytime the visa website says it's not free of lines

We detected that your photograph might fail to meet the guidelines.

Our suggestion(s):

* Background should be plain. No spots, lines or curves visible in the photo.

I went to a foto studio to get this pictures done.

Anyone tips? Dealing with this for 30 minutes now

So having been stopped at immigration last time I visited and advised to get a proper visa I am now in the process of applying for and SETV. Every photo I upload seems to have an issue although you can clearly see who I am it appears to be the background that's the issue is this likely to cause me a problem as I don't have any clearer photos? It requires flight details even though a visa has not been issued so do I book a flight and take a chance that I might be refused? It asks for accommodation details although my plans are fluid you cannot just put a one night stay in an hotel as it requires you to advise of all your intended stays for the duration of your intended stay which is 41 days in my case. Your advice is greatly appreciated TIA

Hi, anyone know what format is preferred for the family photos, when applying for the marriage visa extension. I read someone needed to print them on photo paper then attach them to a4 sheetw.

Also any details for the pics I need to know, dress, style etc. I know the rooms and places we need.

I'm doing it at Jomtien immigration, and have their info sheet but the office information doesn't give details on these specifics.

I'm trying to avoid getting sent away when we apply because the bank letters have to be from the day and it's all super time consuming. Thanks

DTV Visa Approved From Australia in 10 Days!

Hopefully this can help someone, I will go through my process.

1. 11:00 pm 20th January Applied for Visa directly through the official [members only]/ website and selected the correct thai embassy for my local Australian region.

2. 10am 21st January "document check pending"

- I sent the same photo as my passport which is a few years old.

they asked for a more recent photo taken within the last 6 months.

Took a quick basic photo with my phone with a white backround.

3. 28th January Status moved to "Pending Approval"

4. 29th January Approved

I own my own Australian company and I am the sole owner.

* Provided a 1 page cover letter explaining what I do in my business and screenshots of business payments such as Stripe and affiliate marketing.

* Provided the official ASIC business company extract current and historical. This was $20 from the government website and outlines who owns the company, who are the shareholders etc.

* I asked my accountant to create me a 6 month income statement showing my earnings from this financial year July 01 2024 - December 31 2024.

* Bank statement showing 500,000 bhat equivalent, I transferred the final 400,000 bhat into my account only hours before applying and showed 3 months of official bank statements where basically the balance was always well below 500,000.

* Current Photo

Guys I am reading the requirements for HCM [members only], and I have a few doubts.

2.2. Photograph taken within the last six months

What kind of photo, same than the photo for the passport? same size?

2.3. Document indicating current location

This is the hotel booking in HCM, for example?

2.4 Document stating purpose of visit:

Is there any template to have a look?

3) in case there is no employment, professional portfolio showcasing digital nomad, remote worker, foreign talent or freelancer status.

Should my portfolio showcase my entire career, like a resume, or focus only on my work from 2024?

Should my portfolio showcase my entire career, like a resume, or focus only on my work from 2024? I'm asking because, in 2023, I worked as an employee, and this is my first year as a freelancer.

Thanks

Is it okay to do your own photo and submit to the embassy? Will they say something?

Dumb question but I scanned my 4x6cm photo and it has the photo in the center of a white background (sheet of paper) so it looks fairly small. Does this work or I need to crop the white background and make sure the actual jpg file size is also 4x6 cm?
