JAKARTA DTV Success Softpower Muay Thai.

This is for myself and my son.

Main applicant:

May 18th - arrived in Jakarta, submitted mine

about 9pm. Status maintained at

pending document check the whole

time.

May 27th - status changed to pending approval

around 5pm, then APPROVED and

visa received an hour later!

My dependent:

May 27th - applied as soon as I got mine

approved. Submitted 8pm. Again,

stayed at pending document check

all through.

June 9th - status changed to pending approval

around 5pm, and APPROVED by 8pm!

Just in time for our flights the next day 😍

There were 2 holidays during my dependent’s submission. All in all, they are consistent in their timeframe of 7 working days for both our applications.

Documents provided:

Proof of location

-Boarding pass

-Flight booking

-Hotel booking for initial 5 days

-Stay permit from the autogates

-a selfie of myself in front of our hotel

Financial proof

- a cover letter explaining very briefly what I provided

- latest conversion rates from google, bangkok bank and wise

- highlighted screenshot of current balance and amount of 500k for the past 2 months. I provided 3 months of full bank statements

Muay Thai documents

- a cover letter stating my intention to apply via the softpower route

- a complete visa documentation package from Muay Thai Fever. It is a 6-month course.

For my son (dependent), I used the exact same financial documents with a sponsorship letter from me, his proof of location and his birth certificate translated to English.

I did call up the embassy a couple of times to check on our applications as the status remained unchanged. They were very friendly and assured me I will get updates soonest they can. They process everything by the date of submission.

HUGE thanks to everyone in this group especially Andi Traveller 🙏🏼

The waiting is hard, so we’re all very fortunate to have this group to keep us in the loop and entertained too! Good luck everyone!!

Hi, I am needing advice and guidance please.

1. What documents is required and do I need a Thai Visa.

2. How long is the process

Many thanks

Hello everyone, I'm just curious about the "soft" Muay Thai DTV visa... if my wife were to obtain this visa, is it possible for me to apply to be a dependent on her visa? Or can you only be a dependent for the other types of DTV visas? Thanks for any info!

Does anybody know usually how long does it take after your status changes from “pending document check” to “pending approval” that you receive your actual approved visa?

Hello,

My husband and are are planning a move to Thailand. We plan on spending 5-6 months in a row in the country each year.

We are US citizens

We make 2,000 a month (social security)

We have 210K USD in savings

My husband is 69 years old

I am 39 yrs old.

We currently live in France.

We are planning on purchasing a rental property that will increase our income to 4,000 USD per month.

Can we get a DTV as retired people?

Has anyone gotten the non immigrant O visa for a husband and wife who are both non-thai citizens? I am wondering if the expectation is for husband and wife to share same bank account or is it required to have two bank accounts with 800k each?

Also I see some places say that a spouse of a non immigrant O visa holder can apply as a dependent and receive the non immigrant O visa as well. But I do not see that option on the online application.

Any insights on this will be greatly appreciated. Ive been trying to reach someone on phone with no success yet. Thank you.

I have a question and I hope someone in thr group has had a similar situation. My daughter, granddaughter, and myself are moving to Bangkok next month. I do not work, but am in school wrapping up my Masters and plan to teach. My daughter does work and is also wrapping up her Masters. My grandbaby is only 3. I am her other primary parent since my sil was murdered before she was born.

With that said, can we apply for a family dtv using her work and my savings? If so, do we each need to have 500k baht in the bank? Can she still be listed as a dependent at 32? Can I be her dependent?...not sure which route to go since she has the jon, but I have the funds

Hi guys. I want to ask if a married couple wants to apply for DTV visa. Should they apply simultaneously? or whomever is applying for spouse visa should wait for the other to apply and get first?

Has anyone here successfully obtained a DTV for their spouse or dependent?

I recently received approval for my own DTV and have submitted a separate application for my wife.

I’m curious about the typical processing time for dependent applications.

How long did it take for your spouse or dependent to get approved?
