My DTV application failed. They asked me for additional documents that I do not have. They increased the tenure of bank statement to 6 months, which I don't currently have. Cairo consulate.

What are the steps for DTV application when children are involved?

Do I apply and then apply for kids afterwards or at same time?

How quick or slow can the process be with kids involved?

Can I add kids on at a later date if needed?

Any recommendations for the embassy that don't need the funds of 500k baht in the bank for a longer period of time?

I was considering the stay vacation option, but very open to a soft power as well due to the high funds required.

I have a question regarding the DTV application under the workcation category.

I’ve been living in Thailand for the past 6 years on a Non-B visa while working full-time, but my visa will be canceled on January 31st. Then, I’m planning to apply for DTV from Ho Chi Minh in early Feb.

I plan to provide employment documents from two companies that I’ve worked with intermittently. However, since these are my friend’s companies and I haven’t received a formal salary, I’m wondering if it’s okay to create new employment contracts starting February 1st to show it as a new opportunity?

For proof of funds and bank statements etc., I'm planning to provide salary slips from my full-time job for the past 6 months.

I hope that makes sense! Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Would anyone happen to know how see the processing times of the various embassies and consulate for the DTV please? If there is no website that shows this information, could someone please tell me the three fastest consulates in Southeast Asia for the DTV please? Currently living in Thailand on a Non O Visa with annual extension and need to change to DTV. Thank you! 🙏

Hi team, dual passport holder here thinking of applying via Vietnam. If my Vietnam entry stamp is in my Russian passport, will I be able to get a DTV in my New Zealand passport?

Has anyone applied for DTV in Malaysia? How long was the process?

I am preparing an online DTV application, the workcation category. Do i need to add my ticket / flight confirmation and hotel/accommodation details, and if I do, where should I include them? I don't see any specific fields for those documents.

Soft Power qualifying

Does anyone know which sports training qualify for the soft power. DTV application, apart from Muay Thai?

If a person’s DTV application gets rejected, can they still visit Thailand a few days later leveraging the visa on arrival (60 day VOA or Visa free option)

Hi All,

I have a quick question regarding the DTV application. I meet all the requirements (assuming the rules haven’t changed recently! 😄). Specifically, I’ve already transferred the required 500K THB from my business account to my personal bank account (WISE) 15 days before applying.

Should I provide bank statements for both my business account and my personal account, or is the personal account sufficient? For context, the business account is under my US LLC, where I am the sole member, and it’s where I receive payments for my services. Additionally, my company also has investments in crypto and other assets. Would providing this information help strengthen my application?

Thank you for your guidance!

Best regards, and happy new year!!
