Can the 500k in bank be spent/withdrawn after dtv approval or required to keep it in bank throughout?

No plans to extend in thailand after 6 months

DTV in HCMC: Approved

Big thanks to this amazing group, it really helped a lot!

Arrived 28.10 and applied as soon as I got to my hotel, it was almost 3AM when I submitted it.

Documents: photo + passport Company's registration + documents to prove that I'm the sole owner

Bank statement for the last 3 months with over 500k THB in there ( only 5 transactions in the last 3 months since I don't use that account much and it was fine)

Portfolio: my website links, YouTube channel links as well as screenshots from the studio page where it shows analytics and explaining only owner/manager could see that part of the channels)

Explaining that I own the websites and 3 of these YouTube channels + manage on YouTube channel for the client + what I do and it is all done remotely

Wise payment slip from my client that she paid me (through her personal account though and it was fine)

No extra documents needed. Approved Friday 22:53 (!!) I was surprised to get approved outside of the business hours but sure am glad I did and can go to Thailand today instead of spending the weekend here.

Edit: forgot to add proof of location. For that I gave them arriving to Vietnam visa stamp + Wise account statement where last 2 transactions are from Vietnam

I'm at the airport now about to leave Phnom Penh. I was here for 16 days but am leaving without a DTV approved.

The embassy asked for additional documents after 5 business days (on a Friday). My work took about 4 business days to provide the documents I needed.

Submitted with 2 business days to spare. Still pending approval.

Documents provided:

- Bank Statement showing sufficient current balances

- Booking confirmation (hotel in Cambodia)

- Letter of Offer from employer / Employment contract

- Standard passport-size photo

- Scan of passport bio page

Additional documents requested:

- Scan of passport entry stamp for Camobodia

- Certificate of Employment

- Company Registration from employer

Hopefully I'll still be approved for my next entry into Thailand -- does anyone know if leaving the Embassy country before approval had any effect on the outcome?

If I were to offer advice, it'd be to provide all the correct documents in the initial application. It'll save the time required to request additional documents. Allow 5 business days at minimum for each interaction with the embassy.

Not sure if this information is relevant, but I thought maybe someone might find it helpful:

DTV Approved

15 days total, including 2 weekends and a US holiday

They asked for my bank statements twice, but that was the only hold up

Washington embassy (from Texas)

Bangkok Thai Cooking school 2-week program provided the letter I needed with a $500 deposit.

Hi just had dtv approval thai embassy London does anybody know if they ask for onward travel ticket at airline check in
