Out of curiosity:

If you hold a DTV Soft Power, do you have to prove a 5 year course? From what I see on the Internet, the packages normally include a 1 year course plus visa support. What happens on re-entry after this first year? Do you have to book another course?

I know, the DTV isn't old enough to answer this questions. Just wondering ...

LOS ANGELES THAI CONSULATE:

Applied March 6th. Submitted further documents March 25th. Have not heard back since. It is now April 14th 2025

I applied for the DTV Soft Power on May 6th with all required documents and triple checked all information was submitted correctly word for word.

13 days later (March 25th) I get an email asking to submit a bank statement requiring a MINIMUM of $17,000 USD, with my name clearly printed and it cannot be an investent profile. My name was CLEARLY PRINTED on my bank statement, it is a statement from a SAVINGS/ CHECKING ACCOUNT with my BANK which also has the banks name and address cleary printed on it. I submitted the statement with $15,300 USD AS THE E-VISA WEBSITE and every other resource available online stated the requirement was a minimim of $15,000. I could have submitted the statement with $17,000+ the first time if thats what made clear anywhere but it wasnt.

I resubmitted a new bank statement with $17,500 1 day of recieving that further documents requested email (March 27) and ever since status has been in "Processing Document Check (1) ". I underatand as of now it Songkran in Thailand, but that document was sumbitted way prior to the holiday.

I also submitted the documents for my finacé's DTV SoftPower on April 4th 2025 with all the same required documents except I made sure her bank statement has well over $17,000 USD. We applidd to the same consulate as me. Her status has been "Pending Payment" ever since. Its been 6 business days and no status change.

I'll continue my patience but wrote this out slight confusion & frustration.

It’s an overwhelming amount of information in here so I apologize because I know this may have been asked but I am planning to possibly relocate to Thailand but as for now I would like to go ahead and apply for my visa due to me wanting to stay 2-3 months this time prior to officially relocating

I was interested in the DTV Soft Power

How far in advance should I apply if I’m planning for December to start my 2-3 month vacation

Are there any Indians here who have applied for DTV Soft Power from Jakarta? I'm planning to apply from Jakarta in the 1st week of April. How was your experience? Did they ask for "detail on sources of income"? Did you have 500k THB in your account for more than 3 months?

For context, my previous visa application was cancelled by New Delhi Embassy after additional documentation request about "sources of income" thing. I got no response to my calls and emails asking for the reason for cancellation. Unfortunately, I couldn't visit the embassy in person. ([members only]/)

I have been maintaining over 600k THB balance in my Indian bank account since March 6 and applying for DTV Soft Power with Muay Thai classes. Thanks to my stupidity, balance dipped just under 500k on March 5th because of auto-pay and currency fluctuations. I'm currently in Thailand and will be flying to Jakarta in April. I'd love to be back in Thailand before May with DTV.

Have a tax filling question related to the DTV Soft Power option. I have not applied yet.

I have seen posts stating being asked to submit the previous years Tax Filing. Is this a requirement for everyone and is it posted anywhere?

I have comprehension issue reading so I may have read it and misinterpreted it.

For the past 5 years I have not been legally required to file taxes in my home country, so I haven't. My current retirement income is tax free and I am to young for a Thailand retirement visa.

I can file taxes in my home country if required for the DTV.

Thanks for any knowledge.

Hi, I'm a freelancer planning to apply for the DTV Soft Power visa in Hanoi as it seems less complicated. Since my income comes from various accounts, would that pose a problem? Do I need to provide a detailed 6-month bank statement showing all income and expenses, or would a 6-month summary statement be sufficient? This is beside my 500k.
