S/EA consulates which accept brokerage statements

Hello, I’ve read about there being a hard rule with the proof of funds being required to be in a checking account. But as some consulates seemingly require different lengths of proof of funds, perhaps some are more willing to accept brokerage statements? Barring volatile assets, I currently have about 80k usd in mmf us government bonds (which has been held for longer than 3 months) and about 18k usd in a checking account for maturing in case securities aren’t allowed.

Thank you for your time and assistanceg

Hello to the group,

I would like to know if it is still possible to apply to a non-immigrant O visa directly at the embassy (Kuala Lumpur for instance), or if the only way is to use the e-visa platform.

Thanks in advance for your feedbacks.

I would love and appreciate to hear some recent success stories!

I’m a DTV holder, my spouse has a 90 day tourist visa expiring at the end of the month. Both US citizens.

My spouse is applying as a dependent.

I’m trying to figure out the best place to apply in SEA or close.

I’d like to know:

-your country of citizenship

-Where you applied

-application and approval date

-specifics on bank statements (how many months/if funds needed in account the whole time or can be transferred in the last month like it was when I applied in Taiwan)

ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS

EVisa online system UP and RUNNING (y)

You can now select, the thai consulates in Singapore, Taipei, Burma, Lao, Philippines along with the rest of the S/E Asian consulates that went online before

Keep in mind there are NO thai consulates in S/E Asia that have walk up, apply in person service any longer

ALL are on the eVisa system for applications

Vientiane, Savannakhet, and Yangon have in person payment systems at this time you cannot pay for the visa thru the online application portal

Hello, we’re 4 Americans for the DTV Visa. I expect to get approved for my DTV via eVisa process through the Los Angeles Consulate. I made the mistake of not realizing the eVisa process is 15 business days and don’t have enough time in the States to apply for my Spouse and dependents before we head to Thailand. Therefore we need to pivot.

Now the plan is that I will enter with my DTV. It looks like we need to do an eVisa as a tourist visa for each of them before they arrive in Thailand. Can anyone confirm this? I’ve heard it just rolled out this month. I assume I will also need to show a flight of them leaving Thailand within 60 days on the day we enter.

We’re now looking at going somewhere in SE Asia to apply for their DTVs in that 60 day window. So far we’re looking at the consulates below. I know you need to book an appointment for several of them.

* Phnom Penh, Cambodia

* Vientiane, Laos

* Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Does anyone have a recommendation on what Consulate we should go to and if there is anything crucial we’re missing? Thanks in advance.

**ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS;

EDIT; (Oct 8th)

All three countries (Cambodia, Malaysia & Vietnam) are all online on the eVisa system.. !!

**The following Thai consulates in S/E Asia will go to online eVisa applications ONLY starting the 8th of Oct.

They will discontinue any walk up/in person visa applications at that time.

Actually some of them stopped accepting in person applications already and have consular services closed until they open on the eVisa system on Tuesday

Vietnam - Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City

Malaysia - Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Kota Bharu

Cambodia - Phnom Penh

The follow consulates are NOT going online with the eVisa system, are still "walk up consulates" BUT you need to book an appt online to get in the gate

Lao - Vientiane, Savannakhet

Burma - Yangon

The following consulates are NOT going online with the eVisa system (at this time) and are "walk up consulates" no appt needed

Indonesia - Jakarta

Hi everyone,

I’m a USA citizen and want to do the DTV Muay Thai visa . I would like to do it in South East Asia. Someone told me that in Laos they require the 500,000 thb to be in the account for a minimum of 6 months. Does anyone have the experience of any consulate in south East Asia that doesn’t require it to be in there for 6 months. I was told that in Australia it wasn’t required.

Thank you in advance.
