Hi everyone!

Has anyone here applied for the DTV under the remote work category through the Thai Embassy in Taipei? I’d love to hear about your experience. How long did the process take, and how was the outcome?

I haven’t seen many posts from applicants based in Taipei, so any insights on their approval rate or how strict they are would be really helpful.

For context, the applicant is a Taiwanese national.

Thanks in advance!

1. Does it matter which immigration office (softpower)?

2. TM30 never filed, Problem?

I have the softpower Visa, do I have to go to the immigration office near my muay thai gym (Phuket) or can I also go to (Koh Samui)? I mean do they check if you actually train there?

Also I have been living with my girlfriend, that owns a house and she has not filed a TM30 in 3 months, is it a problem? Or just stay at a hotel for one night and get a TM30 from there, no questions asked?

How strict are they at the immigration offices about softpower DTVs there?

Thanks!

Hi everyone, I applied for DTV (softpower) in Hanoi on October 6th. It's been in processing since October 9th. Awaiting approval. Is anyone in the same situation as me? In Hanoi, of course. Thanks.

UPDATE approved now🥳😍♥️🇹🇭

Approved today in Hanoi!

I went with softpower (Muay Thai) using Wildcat Muay Thai gym in Chiang Mai.

Details:

* Applied: Aug 18th

* Approved: Aug 25th

* 3 months bank account slips provided, 500k in all 3 months

* Picture of arrival stamp + selfie outside Hanoi Airport to prove being in Vietnam

* No request for additional documents. Status went from Pending Document Check -> Pending Approval -> Approved

* Ed visa canceled before I left Thailand, just to be safe

I highly recommend Wildcat Muay Thai gym - I have been training here for a long time and the owner helped me with everything, even set up the application for me and uploaded all documents, so all I had to do was log in at the end to submit and pay the fee.

So happy! Huge relief to have a 5 year visa! 🇹🇭

I applied in Jakarta this Monday and the status changed to pending approval this afternoon. However, I received an email saying the application was rejected. Anyone has similar experience? I am really confused. No document was requested

So I new to this process for the Softpower ( muy thai ) visa. Does this notification mean we dont need to go to embasy to get approved? Do we just provide the douments needed online and no longer need to show up in person? Can amyone shed some light on this? Thanks

Hi Everyone,

I applied for SoftPower in Jakarta on 8th of May at 4 pm. I didnt calculate that they have a holiday on Monday and Tuesday. In my application and invitation and my flight says I am flying to Thailand on 15th - which is Thursday after 4 pm.

Do you think there is a chance my visa is going to be accepted and issue by that time?

Thank you!

Hi. Did somebody applied for DTV at Taiwan recently ?

How many days it took to get the DTV ?

If they have any special requirements that not in the DTV documentation list ?

Many thanks for reply 🙏

UPDATE: Today, 18 Feb 5.12PM My visa got approved!! Goodluck everyone! As promised I’ll make a detailed video on all the docs I submitted which would help self employed freelancers like me!

Abit worried about my DTV status for softpower, muay thai, applied in HCMC.

Feb 10 5.30pm - submitted

Feb 13 12pm - additional documents requested ( 6 months statement and proof of income) I’m a freelance graphics designer and am worried they think im sus for applying via softpower, but i did provide proof of income with invoices attached and my portfolio, indicating i want to learn muay thai during my free time whilst working my job.

Feb 13 11pm - submitted additional documents requested

Feb 18 today - still pending document check…

Is this normal for it to take so long? Losing hope… been seeing people get moved to pending approval within like 3 working days…

Applied in Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam) on the 10th for softpower muay thai, I have 6months course 2x per week.

Today (3days later) they ask for complementary information

-proof of mensual income

I'm a bit surprised that this is being asked after yi showed 6months of bank statement and i'm applying for soft power.

Has anyone had the case?
