Hello! Just a quick question if anyone can advise. I'll be submitting my application for DTV soft power and I have the 3 months of bank statements with the required $ but its a bit shy of 90 days since I didn't deposit it until a week or two into the 1st month. Will that be ok? Or do they require the full 90 days? Im in California btw.

Does anybody have any experience with the Thai embassy in Frankfurt, Germany ?

How long does the usual process take for a soft power muy Thai DTV ? What documents were def. Needed here more then elsewhere.

I’m unsure when to book my flight, because i need one to apply for the visa but don’t want to be in the situation, not having the visa approved before the flight is leaving..

thanks ✌🏼

DTV - Soft Power

I am unemployed and have just over 500k in my account. Another 400k invested. Will that be enough? Has anyone been accepted like this?

I get support from my family. Not regularly, though, so I don't want to give it as income.

Are there anyone who applied soft power but change to workation later on?

Hello everyone, when I applied for DTV using soft power, the embassy asked me to add this document. Where can I get it?

Other request documents:The Letter of Acceptance from Muay Thai course must be issued by Ministry of Sport Thailand (Essential)

Hi All,

I'm new to this group. Last month I visited Thailand for a week and loved to stay for longer. I'm planning to apply for DTV.

I started my company in my country 3 months ago but the operations are yet to start. It is an online business and currently products are under development.

Am I eligible to apply for DTV? Do they ask for monthly revenues?

or Is it better to apply under soft power category for now?

Kindly advise.

Thanks

Hi guys,

I’d like to apply for the DTV visa (soft power) in Vientiane, Laos. I meet all the requirements, but I am currently unemployed. Do you also need to show a stable monthly income in Laos, or is having a large amount of savings in the bank (well over 500,000 THB) sufficient? Thankyouu

Hi Members,

I have A DTV Visa. I intend to stay in Thailand approx 123 days.

I have an elderly mother who is 80 years old and relies on me as her carer.

I understand the spouse Visa is for a wife and Children under 20.

1 - Will they make any exception to allow me to sponsor a Elderly dependant parent if paperwork (Medical - birth certificate etc) is provided to show the dependancy.

2 - If this is not possible, and we apply for her own Soft Power DTV Visa, can anyone recommend a Thai cooking class Close to Pattaya who we can book with, Ideally a company that can provide the relevant paperwork for the Visa Application.

Any help would be appreciated, I just want to decide which is the best route to go down.

Many thanks

Jac
