Hello,

I have a few questions regarding the bank statement to prove the 500k THB, although I scrolled the group posts by searching, I couldn't find something similar to my situation (apologized if my questions were actually already answered):

1. I'm a French citizen, with Permanent Residency in Taiwan. I have worked in Taiwan for 6 years, so I can show my salary slip until June 2024.

2. I recently started a new job. It's a consultant contract, with a Singaporean company, starting from July 2024 to December 2024. Same here I can show my contract and my invoices for July+August payment.

3. The thing is, I made few big operations with my Taiwanese bank account so currently my Taiwanese account doesn't have 500k THB.

4. However, in France we have a family shared account, (I have the power of attorney for this account but it's not under my name, my parents'), where we do have more than 500k THB.

Questions:

1. Would you advise to transfer money from the family account to my own personal account? Or a statement proving that I have the power of attorney would be enough?

2. If I do need to transfer on an account under my name: Is transferring to my French bank account would do, or is it better to transfer directly to my Taiwanese account, which I used daily for the past 6 years (I received all my salary on this account)?

3. I understand that each embassy/office have different rules regarding the period we have those 500k THB in the account.

Let's say I do the necessary transfers next week, would you recommend Taipei or Vientiane? I have family in both cities so its convenient for me to stay there few days, hence those two options..

Thank you in advance for your answers!

Has anyone submit for spouse and dependants on DTV in Taipei? Just wondering if we can submit the same day as the DTV holder or do we wait until the next day upon approval? trying to plan accordingly to book flights. Thank you in advance🙏

Can you edit a dtv app after submitting

Hello,

Has anyone had to use a certified translation service to translate their documents into English or Thai for the DTV application at a Thai consulate?

DTV Apllication Australia . Online application

1.Applied and paid . Status *Pending Document Check

2.Stayed like that 7 days .

3.Updated status to * Pending approval

4.Stayed like that for 4 business days .

5.Updated status back to *Pending document check again

Not confusing or frustrating atall ... Grrrr

Anyone else seeing proceedings like that ?

I am preparing DTV application and have a question regarding bank statements. Can any one confirm if just the summary is sufficient or the whole months transactions for the three months. On-line E-visa from UK. Would appreciate replies from successful applicant’s that have followed this route. Thanks 🙏

Hi everyone, I'm Alex from 🇮🇹 🤌

this group is amazing and I would like to have some tips for my situation.

I just bought a return ticket from 11/24 to 02/25 (3 months).

As italian I know that I can apply for a VoA and get 60days free (but italian Thai Embassy website says just 30days yet), but since I want to stay 90days, what's better?

a - extend my VoA when in Bangkok

b - apply for e-visa and extend it later?

Later in 2025, if nothing change in Thailand 🤞, I'll apply for DTV, so looking also at this, A or B (or is it irrelevant)?

Thank you 🙂

Just got DTV approved!

USA-based. Washington DC embassy. Single member LLC. Contract video editor.

Applied: August 15

Documentation requested: September 4

I forgot to include a letter stating my name, job description, digital nomad/remote, length of employment. I will attach pic of the template I used. I also included how I do my work remotely.

Approved: September 5

Funds:

- The full $16k wasn’t in my bank account until the beginning of August so I didn’t have an official bank statement showing the balance. I went to my bank and got a Letter of Standing showing my balance. I also supplied screenshots of the last month of my bank account (nothing redacted).

- I sent copies of a couple invoices, the invoice receipt after being paid, screenshots of my business bank account showing the payment being deposited (highlighted), as well as, highlighted deposits from my personal banking showing the transfer of payment from my business account to my personal.

Proof of Work:

Sent in my resume, screenshots of emails from clients stating the nature of my work (for clients I didn’t have contracts with), contracts from other clients, and screenshots of my portfolio:

Additional documents:

- I started my own business in April so I provided screenshots of an email between me and a client where I stated I was switching from my personal email to my work email.

- Certification of Formation

- Official document that contained my EIN

Further requested documentation:

- In the letter I stated my name, my job title, the scope of work I do, how I perform my work digitally, as well as stating that I was a business owner and referred them to the page in my original document submission that showed proof of ownership of my company.

I’m attaching the template I used for the letter of proof of work. I did not use the bottom part stating my current clients though.

I’m applying for my husband and daughter’s dependent visa tomorrow. Will let you all know how that goes!

Thanks to everyone here who answered all my questions in the process! Happy to answer any questions if I left anything out! 🙂

Has anyone applied for DTV in Manila? Please share your experience

Entry update: Entered Thailand via Chong Mek land border. I didn't ask him, but it seemed to be the immigration officer's first DTV, as he had to make a call and confirmed the 180 days. Everything went smoothly, got 180 days stamp. So happy! 😁

Just got my Workcation DTV approved from Vientiane Embassy as a self-employed online trader (Canadian passport). I do not work for a company, so I do not have a work contract. I also do not have any clients. I only manage my own trades. I do not have a registered company, only a registered Sole-Proprietorship business in my own name in my home province.

I won't list all the basic documents that everyone has to submit no matter their situation (form, pictures, passport, proof of location, etc), but here's what I submitted for my personal situation to show my digital nomad status:

- Presentation letter where I explained what I do and listed my business registration number and the attachements/supporting documents to follow

- Copy of my Sole-Proprietorship business registration

- Copy of my profit withdrawals to date in 2024

- Copy of my trading/tax reports to date in 2024

- Copy of my income tax report/notice of assessment for 2023

I did ask them in advance about the 500k, they had told me 3-6 months. I provided 6 months, but my statements are 14 pages long, so I only provided the first page of each statement that showed the opening balance, closing balance, my name and full address (no transaction detail) and that seemed to have been enough to make them happy.

When I went to apply, the person checking my documents asked me if I have an ATM card for that bank account specifically. I said no. He asked how am I going to access the money while in Thailand. I explained that I transfer to my Thai bank account and then have an ATM card for that account. He did not ask for any document related to my Thai bank account.

Again, this is at Vientiane Embassy. Don't rely on this if you apply anywhere else or have a different situation. I applied on 23 Aug AM (Friday) and received it today 27 Aug PM (Tuesday).

Good luck to everyone else applying!
