Hello everyone

Please don't roast me 🥹

My flight is scheduled for 24th December but I applied for my single entry visa to Thailand on 13th Dec(Friday) and made the visa fee payment successfully. My application has been on processing pending document check(1) since then.

I am feeling nervous about it 😓

Hi everyone,

I was just denied the DTV visa at Savannakhet because they wanted the original remote work letter from my company, and I only had a printout (and presumably they needed original bank statements also). They needed the documents to have signatures, although not sure if that means original signature with ink, or a copy of a signature. And from the previous posts here it seems to me that other people submit simple printouts and that gets accepted?

So my questions to who went through this already are:

- When you applied in-person, did you have to bring all originals with signatures/stamps, or just printouts?

- How would you possibly get an original bank statement if your bank is in Europe? You'd have to get it mailed to you?

And lastly

- Since they're moving to an online system next month, do I understand correctly that they won't be requiring originals anymore? Since a PDF file is not an "original" in a sense that it doesn't have a genuine signature, unless we're talking about digital cryptographic signatures (which is probably not what they're looking for).

Help - DTV visa

It's been 11 days on 14 days and they request for the thrisd time my company registration (I have all the document and submit them every time). Anyone facing the same issue?

Do you know if it's denied if I lose my pavement?

Thank you

I'm super stressed don't understand why it's not working

If you applied with children dependents, what document did you provide for "Document indicating current location"? On my application, I used my Driver's license for that question because it had my address. My kids don't get mail and their IDs don't have their address on them.

Soft power (cooking) approved in HCMC, Vietnam.

Sharing my experience last month, all thanks to this group which has been a big help. Background: I am an Australian who live in Thailand. I filled out the form, uploaded as many documents on the evisa website as I could prior to my flight to Vietnam. As soon as I arrived in HCMC I uploaded the arrival stamp. The embassy did not ask for any further documentations.

Nov 22nd, Friday 1am: Applied online.

* Passport photo 4x6, taken at a passport shop

* Copy of the biometric page of my passport

* Manually filled out all my personal details, rather than use the the pre-filling option

* Permanent address: Thailand address

* Current address: VN hotel

* Copy of my arrival stamp, hotel key with its name and business card in the background. I would have uploaded a hotel booking if I had one, but my accommodation was booked under my husband's name as we were in Vietnam for his work trip. I was worried they were going to ask for one but they didn't

* 6 months bank statements in my name only with at least 500k THB each month (overseas bank). Because it was Nov 22nd, I only had estatements for May-Oct. I did not upload current bank balance of that day. The website didn't ask for 6 months, but from what I read in this group I decided to upload 6 months of statements just in case since I already had the savings.

* Cooking documentations from Bangkok Thai Cooking Academy. Acceptance letter, payment receipt, business registration and copy of the director's ID. I highly recommend them for anyone wanting to go through soft power cooking course. They're very responsive to emails and experienced with the DTVs. I love to cook so am looking forward to the classes.

* Flight details: picked a random date in the next 2 months and looked up a flight number. I wanted to wait for the DTV before buying flight tickets. I wrote that I planned to stay in Thailand for 175 days (because the entry stamp is only for 180 days).

* Accommodation in Thailand: my condo address as I already live there. I did not upload any lease documents or hotel bookings.

Nov 26th, Tuesday 1pm: Status changed from 'awaiting document check' to 'awaiting approval'. I did not receive an email regarding status change, I just kept checking the website periodically so I'm not sure on the exact time.

Nov 29th, Friday 5pm: Approved via email.

In total it took about 6 business days. I would recommend anyone who wants to apply in HCMC to stay longer than '5 business days' to allow some time in case it gets delayed or they ask for more documents. Double check the form and maybe have someone else go over it (luckily my husband caught a mistake on my form) and never use the pre-fill setting. Type your passport details yourself!

If anyone has any questions, please let me know! Happy to help :)

Visa approved today in Hanoi, soft power Muay Thai

I applied on the 2nd December. They asked for more documents today (6th December) I sent the required documents and my visa was approved 2 hours later.

Thank you so much to this group you made the whole process much easier!

If anyone has any questions I am happy to help.

The wait can be frustrating. Those who have applied and received a feedback, how long did it take you all? Can you comment the location and the processing time it took?

DTV approved in Berlin Embassy in Workcation category 🥳

Hello lovely people! I promised to give a big update when my application is approved. I got a lot of info and help from this group and lovely group members. So I hope my post can help others too.

I applied on 11.10. at Berlin Embassy. I am a German citizen with a private Limited Company registered in UK and I am the Company Director of it.

I provided:

- Business registration (PDF Download from companies House)

- Self written Statement letter giving all Information about the Business activities of my Company, that I have no Business in Thailand and dont intend to Build any, that my stay in Thailand will be only for Personal reasons and that I will work Remote during my stay in Thailand (signed and wet Company stamp)

- business contract between my Company and a customer, including which Services my Company provides for that customer (b2b)

- 3 invoices from my Company showing that my Company Generates income

- flight ticket

- booking confirmation for a rented condo for 6 months

To proof 500.000 Baht I downloaded a PDF Bank Statement of my WISE Account, showing around 15.000€.

On 21.10. I received a request for further documents, explaining that my Business registration can Not be accepted, because it is Not a German document. International documents had to get legalised by an official of the State Where the Company is registered plus by the Thai Embassy in that state.

Besides that they didn‘t accept my passport photo, because I scanned one and uploaded it. So you really need to go to a Professional Studio and get a digital foto.

Because I stay in Germany at the moment I had to Order the documents from companies House, send them back to UK to get them legalised and again send them to UK Thai Embassy in London to get them legalised by them. That took me more than 4 weeks despite express shipping.

After I had all documents legalised I uploaded them and got approved on the next day 🥳

I am very happy and hope that my application story can help you. If you have any questions, just ask in the comments 😊

See you in Thailand 🙏🏻

Applied for visa yesterday, got asked for extra information.

Only a better quality photo, and copy of companies house info.

Now it's back to pending approval.

Applied from uk

Did anyone else have similar,

And was you nervous during this stage?

Never felt so anxious 🤣

They asked me for additional documents 2 days ago, i submitted that and then now they ask me for guranteed letter? Why would they let me apply in the first place? Now there is no any embassy or consulate of nepal in vietnam, i guess they know it. Can i change the application location or i just donated them the fees???
