I was asked for documents such as bank statements in English, but my bank does not produce them. In your experience, how were they able to send the converted documents?

hello guys, i'm in Taipei. I'm a business owner. They asked me to provide proof of income payments, however i don't give myself a salary directly.

And my savings (1 million+) is kept in my company account, not my personnal one.

Would you have a solution for me please ?

please don't try to teach me a lesson, let's be focused on solutions.

thank you

Hey guy,

For the DTV visa + 180 days extension, do I need to resubmit the 500,000 THB financial documents again?

Good morning everyone!

I'm working remotely as a freelancer, but I don't have a registered business. I have my own website and clients though.

Do you think I can apply for a DTV visa?

Also, in your opinion, is it better to apply in person or online? What do they actually check during the process?

What documents would I need to prove that I'm working remotely?

And one more thing — if they reject the application, do you lose the 10k THB fee?

Does someone knows what its bank certificate?

Hello, I saw that the revenues on the bank statements should be circled in red. Did you print it and circle it or did you do it on your PC?

Is it a mistake to use my Thai bank account to show proof of funds, instead of one from my home country? I’m aware it could highlight that I’ve essentially been living in Thailand for the past six months (on visa exemptions), and that I’ve had a Thai account for four years now (I’ve been on various visas). My passport stamps tell the same story, however.

APPROVED in Ho Chi Minh City 🥳

This group has been incredibly helpful to me, so like many others, I want to give back my experience of the application process.

Here is some background information to my situation:

* I have a German Passport.

* I own an LLC based in the US that is fairly new and I have never had a company before, but was permanently employed.

* My company has no income yet, because I focused exclusively on mastering the new situation during the first few months of my trip, and that's why I indicated ‘no income’ in the application form.

* I have never applied for a Visa in Thailand before, because Germany is in the Visa exemption category and never have done a border run before.

* I am currently travelling and was in Thailand for a month before travelling on to Vietnam, where I applied for the DTV.

I submitted my application with the following documents, each combined to a PDF document not exceeding 3 MB:

## Document Indicating Current Location

* Overview of contents of the PDF

* Passport page where the stamp of my arrival in Vietnam is shown

* Explanation of accommodation in Vietnam, as I'm booking my various hotels until I can come back to Thailand when the visa is approved, and I didn't want to leave the hotel booking confirmation without an explanation.

* Booking confirmation of the same hotel in Vietnam in which I have been staying at the time of the submission

* Booking confirmation of flight to Thailand

## Document of Financial Statements

* Overview of the contents of the PDF

* Overview of my bank accounts in german language

* Overview of my bank accounts translated with converted currency to THB

> Note: Looking back, I really shouldn’t have submitted the overview in german language. I thought, that it might serve as a proof, because it’s the original document, but they really just want everything in english or thai.

## Document of Professional Portfolio

* Overview of the contents of the PDF

* Introduction to My Professional Portfolio where I have stated why I want to have the DTV Visa, what my plans are, that I do not want to make business in Thailand and a brief overview of my skills (I’m a software developer)

* Document of the structure of my business and the services I offer

* The founding document of my company

* A document stating that I’m the sole owner and director of my company

* Screenshots of every page of my website and an explanation to them

After 2 days they requested further documents

* Passport full book including empty pages

* Bankstatements only in english and covering the last 6 months with the salary of the last 6 months highlighted

* Salary slips of the last 6 months

* Company profile that includes details about its history, vision, mission, products, and achievements

I uploaded everything they requested and took 2 days for that

* made a scan of every page of my passport from 2 to 32

* combined my bank statements to one PDF not exceeding 3MB in size (which was pain)

* combined the salary slips of my previous employer

* wrote a company profile with everything they wanted and stated again, that I do not wish to make business in Thailand, that my company is newly established and what my plans are to create revenue in the future

The next day my status was switched from “checking documents” to “pending approval”.

Another 4 days later (with a weekend in between), I got my approval.

All in all the application process took 11 days.

My boyfriend also applied to the DTV and his process took also 11 days in total.

If I would submit documents again, I would submit:

## Document Indicating Current Location

* Overview of contents of the PDF

* A scan of the full passport book.

* Explanation of accommodation in Vietnam, as I'm booking my various hotels until I can come back to Thailand when the visa is approved, and I didn't want to leave the hotel booking confirmation without an explanation.

* Booking confirmation of the same hotel in Vietnam in which I have been staying at the time of the submission

* Booking confirmation of flight to Thailand

## Document of Financial Statements

* Overview of the contents of the PDF

* 6 months of bank statements of one (or more) bank accounts having 500k THB in total with the income from the salary slips highlighted

* Salary slips of the last 6 months

## Document of Professional Portfolio

* Overview of the contents of the PDF

* Introduction to My Professional Portfolio where I have stated why I want to have the DTV Visa, what my plans are, that I do not want to make business in Thailand and a brief overview of my skills

* A company profile that includes details about its history, vision, mission, products, and achievements

* The founding document of my company

* A document stating that I’m the sole owner and director of my company

* Screenshots of every page of my website and an explanation to them

Of course this depends on your personal situation and every application process is different.

Hope this helps anyone. If you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. I’m happy to help. 🙂

UPDATE: I successfully got the Visa in Hanoi.

Will it have any problems if my salary is only 350€ net? I work part time.

Should I state in my cover letter that I have more savings and investments that I live of or does that unneccesarily complicate it?

I have more than the 500k THB in the bank account I will show them, its closer to 1.500k THB for some years already. Plus an stock broker account with 3.500k TBH in cash, but I wouldn't show that because it's not a bank account.

Should I provide them with documents like payslips, business registration of my employer, rental contract for thailand without them asking for it in the application? I read that many people are getting asked for those documents and I want to speed up the process as much as possible.

I will be applying in Hanoi, Vietnam.

I've send my application to Jakarta this evening. Just noticed I forgot to send a transaction record of Stripe transactions. Will I be asked for that? Or will my 6 month bank statement which shows the Stripe direct deposits be enough? Thanks all :)
