Hello!

I applied for a DTV VISA but I got a TR VISA for 6 months. I don't know why?

Is there someone like me?

And do I need to leave after 2 months or can extend in Thailand ?

I applied for soft power. After about 2 weeks of document check pending status, they requested more documents. One was employment letter, I don't know what that has to do with soft power? I work freelance so can't really provide this anyways. The other requested document was bank statement, which I already provided that was well over 500k. Not sure what to do next.

I successfully completed the visa application with Seoul Embassy (very strict)

We applied for soft power category and they asked us a lot of documents that we didn’t have it like a tax document from own country (my gf worked in foreign countries for 3 years)

So I decided to write letter to explain everything about the situation and our plan to make the financial stable,

So I just want to share that aside all documents you provided you can also write them letter to explain with the attached evidence to show them your words is true.

I got approved after submit additional documents in 3 days, so happy.

So if you have any questions and your intentions to come here is not dirty😂 you can ask me any questions if you would like to

We've been hearing a lot of rejected attempts in Hanoi over the past few weeks, both from soft power and workcation. But are there lucky people out there who got it successfully in the past month or so and how long did it take? Share with the rest of us your experience and give us some hope. haha.

French citizen rejected in Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam for soft power with 1 month course in a reputable Muay Thai gym in Phuket. I shown 3 months of >500k bank statements and highly-paid freelance invoices as proof of funds. I don't know what to do more, contacting an agent? I have only 2 weeks left in Vietnam, I can maybe modify my plans to have 2 weeks more.

Hi, has anyone on a DTV soft power visa been asked to show proof of ongoing classes when reentering after the 6 month period? And how did you handle the situation if yes. Thanks!

Hello! My DTV visa for Thailand was just approved! I applied for Soft Power from Hanoi! Although many told me it wouldn't be worth the investment, I submitted my pay stubs to Revolut and already had a checking and investment account. To enter Thailand, would I just need to present the visa? Thank you so much for your help.

Need some advice. I applied for the DTV (Soft Power – Thai language) on July 31 and arrived in KL on August 3. So far, no updates. I called the embassy and was told:

* Proof of 6 months accommodation in Thailand is mandatory for all applicants (they’ll request it later)

* Most applicants are called in for an interview

* Processing time is usually a month

I own a condo in Thailand but don’t have the title deed or blue book with me — didn’t realize they’d be required. Given that, is it worth scrapping my KL application and restarting in Hanoi instead (same visa type)?

KL is draining. The embassy here is 100% stricter, and I’d rather not waste a month waiting for an interview that doesn’t guarantee approval. Open to any thoughts.

Just got approved for my DTV visa for soft power (cooking school) through the Los Angeles consulate in UNDER AN HOUR (~45 minutes)!!!!

I was so stressed while doing the application because I was worried about making a stupid mistake that would get my application rejected instantly. I almost fell out of my chair when I saw the first and only status update was to approved.

If you are trying to get a DTV through the LA embassy now seems to be a good time because they seem to be moving fast!
