DTV & DOCUMENT TRANSLATION 🇮🇹🇬🇧

Hi everyone! 😊

Do the documents required for the DTV have to be issued in English, or at least with a certified translation? 🙏🏼

In Italy it is almost impossible to get documents in English from public offices (tax certificate, marriage certificate for my wife) and a sworn translation would be exorbitantly expensive (I would be better off getting the Elite visa at this point 😅)… while with private institutions (bank for the banking status etc) I would have no problems.

Do you think that if some of the documents were in Italian and I provided a translation of those pages (easily verifiable, they are all personal data) it could work? 🤞

How many people have applied for a second time and got accepted their second time round?

Just a short update on the 6 month Multiple Entry visa. I recently applied for this visa for the 3rd time in three years. It is perhaps not as neccessary/useful as it used to be as you can now receive a 60 day visa waiver on arrival and it seems that you can most likely enter and stay this way several times a year without incurring the £150 visa charge. However, as a frequent visitor, I like the certainty and, as I also like to country hop not just stay in Thailand, this visa suits my needs for now.

Previously they required six months of bank statements and there were lots of odd requirements such as submitting an invitation letter, the i.d. of a Thai National, and a photo of you holding your passport.

Now it is much more straight forward; passport details, picture, proof of country of residence, flights, hotel booking and then simply pay the fee. Applied Monday night, visa approved Thursday night.

I am a UK national.

Seems like Thailand is pushing tourism hard again, as well as wanting to attract wealthier and active long term residents.

I have a question, coming to Thailand on vacation in December for a few months. But then leave for work in February for a few weeks. Return to Thailand for 2 weeks end of Feb but then in March go to China for 2 weeks work and then back to Thailand again for a few weeks then leave Thailand in April and return to the uk.

That will be 3 entries in 5 months. Will tourist visa’s be ok or should I look for a DTV

Just received the approval for my DTV. Applied on July 18th via the LA consulate in the US for $400. Provided an employment verification letter from my company that explicitly mentions I work remotely and a copy of my Singaporean bank statement to show funds. Used an account statement from my American bank to show “proof of location” - a managed mailbox in Seattle.
