Does my spouse have to have 500k in an account of their own? All of our accounts are joint. Can I submit the same proof for both of us? What about our son? He's under 8. We have an investment account for him but it's not in his name because he's a minor.

Has anybody applied for DTV as a spouse of a DTV visa holder? My husband plans to get it first and then I want to get it as his spouse. We are thinking of making a sponsorship letter to cover my financial evidence. Has anybody applied with that? What does that letter have to look like? Also, to complicate things even more, we are a gay couple and I am not sure if Thailand will recognize foreign gay marriages immediately after January 23 (when their law is coming in force). Any thoughts appreciated!

Has anyone received a DTV using a sponsorship letter instead of the B500k in a bank account? does this sponsorship letter come from employer, or can I as a parent provide that in the case of my daughter thanks

hello, i have searched this group for a couple questions but didn’t seem to find answers, can anyone help?

1. for the 500k proof requirement, there’s also the mention that this can be in the form of a sponsorship letter. what exactly does that mean?

2. how many consecutive months does the 500k baht need to be in your account?

3. i have heard of folks that were asked to do a Thai language interview if they previously had an ED visa. what level of Thai did they ask for?

Has anybody already applied for dependant infants and how does it work regarding the financial requirements?

Spouse DTV Approved! 🎉

I’m sharing my experience to help others navigating the process:

My husband got his DTV in Taipei, and it only took him 2 days —super fast and easy!

Since I’m Vietnamese and needed a visa for Taiwan, I applied for the DTV in Ho Chi Minh City instead.

Tips for a smoother process:

- Consider a short beach vacation: If you’re applying at the HCM consulate, flying into Da Nang or Nha Trang is a great option for a relaxing break while waiting for your results.

- Double-check your uploads: When uploading my passport page, the name order changed. Make sure to fix any errors and always click save before moving to the next page.

My Timeline:

- 5/12: Submitted my application with the following documents:

+ ID card

+ Vietnam passport stamp

+ Husband's passport and DTV scan

+ Husband’s 3 months’ bank statements

+ Sponsorship letter

+ Marriage certificate

- 9/12: Received a request for 6 months’ bank statements.

- 10/12: Submitted additional documents:

+ Uploaded savings account statements (opened only 4 months ago) and highlighted the last 2 months’ balances (over 500,000).

+ Also submitted a 6-month checking account statement and highlighted the transfers to the savings account.

- 11/12 Morning: Pending Approval.

- 11/12 Evening: Visa Approved! 🎉

It actually took me only 3 working days to get approved, as 5/12 and 10/12 were Thai holidays, plus the weekend.

I hope this helps anyone going through the process. Wishing you the best of luck!

A Muay Thai (soft power) DTV applicant here. My question is, some people claim that I can show the bank statement of my father, some people say it has to be my personal account,family account is not accepted. I read a few posts about people bringing a sponsorship letter from their parents and use their statements for the visa. What was your experience? Did any of you accepted this way?

Good day, looking at the requirements of 500k baht (or sponsorship letter) - what does the sponsorship letter entail? Can I for example get a letter from my father (who lives in Thailand) and give bank statements of his showing substantially more than the required 500k baht?

Effectively saying that he will support me while I am here? Would this be acceptable? Any feedback would be appreciated

Hi quick question! If I was to get the Thailand digital nomad visa does my partner who is in a civil partnership with me have to get one too?

Thankyou!

Hello, I want to ask if I can apply DTV at Lao Vientiane Embassy with sponsorship letter? Has anyone experienced?
