Hi, I meet the age and financial requirements for Non-O and DTV. As I plan to do some remote work I think the DTV is better for me. I've not started the remote work yet so I will be applying for the DTV by going the soft power route and taking a cooking course as I love Thai food and cooking! I read a post somewhere that the Embassy required them to show a profile. I do not have this and wondered if anyone has recently successfully applied from London Embassy without needing to show prior proof of professional cooking skills? Also can you swap between the soft power options? Eg start with cooking, later have some medical appointments when returning to Thailand?

I'm doing my DTV application now. And I have accommodation with the muay thai gym I go for the soft power visa.

So, in the section where you put your accommodation, I have one night in Bangkok, then the day after, I will travel to the city where the gym is and have three nights' accommodation somewhere else before I go to the gym.

I only have 2 accommodation types I can fill in.

What is best to do? Skip the second accommodation in the form and just do Bangkok and then the gym?

Hope you understand my question.

Hello, are payslips a mandatory requirement for the DTV Visa?

I am currently unemployed as I'm in the process of launching my own remote business so a regular income statement is not possible.

However, I have more than the equivalent of 500,000 baht in foreign currency in a bank account from my home country (Australia).

If anyone has any prior experience or advice that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Has anyone applied for a soft power (medical) DTV visa in Tokyo? What was your experience and were you successful? Did you have to visit the embassy or could it be completed all online? I'm currently in Japan on a tourist visa. I have seen some older information stating I require residency, though newer embassy posts seem to just require an entry stamp.

Hi guys, just looking for some advice which would be highly appreciated. I am on an education visa atm which is due to expire on the 7th of July. I have to go back to Australia as my father is sick. I fly out on May 12th and return on May 25. I was wondering if anyone has applied for a soft power DTV in Australia and how long the process could take? Do you guys think this would be a smooth process.

Thank you
