Hi everyone,

I’m applying for the DTV Spouse visa from Laos. I already submitted our last 3 bank statements as requested, but they are now asking for an “update” of the bank statements.

I’m not sure what exactly they want me to send this time. Should I just resubmit the same 3 recent statements again, or do they expect newer ones ?

thank you so much for your help.

Does anyone applied for DTV Spouse Visa in Frankfurt ? First application on 9.12 and than upload two more documents at 21.12 and it’s still on checking the documents. No chance to call them - tried hundred times - no answer on email. Has anyone make the same thing?

Edit - I got a visa today(16.01.2026)

Submitted Date - 06.01.2026

is there anyone who submits DTV spouse visa in HCM these days?

Since my application stuck at

the stage of “Pending Documents Checking “ for 5 working days.

Hi everyone

does anyone here have experience with the DTV workation visa application?

Specifically in a case where the main applicant applied for a DTV (Workation) and the DTV Spouse visa was submitted at the same time, but the main visa has not been approved yet. Immigration is now already asking for the approved main visa for the spouse application.

Do you know how long they usually wait in such cases, or do they simply cancel/delete the spouse application if the main visa is not approved yet?

Also, does anyone have experience applying for the DTV visa through the consulate in Frankfurt?

Thanks a lot in advance! 🙏

I applied for my wife for the dtv spouse

I have my dtv since last year. Now I got an email that the request got canceled because:

Your visa application has been cancelled. You have entered your name incorrectly.

The name is correct written same like on the passport also with middle name. I try to contact the embassy in Frankfurt Germany via phone and email since a week. No response

Any ideas ?

Hello 👋 I am applying for the DTV visa this week, but my husband cannot apply together with me because he is on a business trip and when he returns, his passport will need to be renewed due to having less than six months validity. Is there a gender restriction for the primary DTV visa? And can the DTV Spouse Visa only be applied for by a wife?

We are concerned that the visa office might ask why my husband is applying for the spouse visa and potentially reject the application.

Hi everyone!

I'm applying for a DTV spouse/dependent visa at the Thai consulate in Ho Chi Minh City and just received a request for additional documents. I would really appreciate your insights.

Here's the situation:

I submitted my bank statement (6 months), my husband's bank statement (also 6 months), and his financial sponsorship letter. Now the consulate is asking for:

"Provide financial sponsorship letter along with transaction for 6 months and account balance not less than 500,000 baht."

I'm confused because I already provided exactly that - a sponsorship letter and both of our bank statements showing consistent activity and sufficient funds.

They also asked:

"Will you stay in Thailand continuously for 5 years? Are you currently working? If yes, please provide info. If not, what are your plans for the next 5 years in Thailand?"

I'm not sure what exactly they're looking for or if this usually means a likely rejection.

Has anyone experienced something similar at the HCM consulate (or elsewhere)?

Any advice would be really helpful!
