Hi everyone! 😊

Sharing our successful DTV workation case for me and my spouse.

We are currently based in Bulgaria, so our applications were processed by the embassy in Bucharest.

I applied late in the evening on March 7 and received approval on March 12.

My documents were quite standard - employment contract, proof of accommodation, and bank statements.

I have accounts in three different currencies within the same bank, with a total balance slightly above the equivalent of 500,000 THB. Part of the funds was deposited just a few days before applying - no questions were asked.

I provided bank statements for all accounts for the last 3 months. Additionally, I included a 6-month statement from my salary account to confirm a stable source of income.

My husband applied as a dependent spouse on March 16 and got approved today, March 27.

We submitted our marriage certificate along with an official English translation.

I also wrote a sponsor letter confirming that I will cover all his expenses.

My husband does have his own income - we mentioned his employer and income details, but did not attach his contract.

The bank statements were mine (the same ones I used for my application).

We didn’t receive any additional requests or questions from the embassy - everything went smoothly and quite fast.

Big thanks to everyone who shared their experiences here - it really helped a lot 🙏

hello everyone，i apply visa in vietnam

thank you ！！！

I have been following this group for many months as I have been in the process of moving here to retire. I am very grateful for the wise and sage advice of some of the members who take the trouble to provide concise and factual responses. Our journey so far:

* Non O Visa obtained in home country 2400 baht

* Arrived Thailand obtained TM30 and Certificate of Residency for wife to open bank account with KS Bank

* Waited 63 days for money to season and went to our banks to obtain required financials.

* Straight to Jomtien Immigration to join pre afternoon queue. In soon after 1pm and out by 1.25pm with both 12 month retirement extensions granted - 1900 baht. Collect passports and arrange re-entry stamp after 2 days.

The officer spoke excellent English and was professional and efficient. The only requirement over and above the official list of requirements was a hand drawn map of our location. We had already prepared this.

It is not difficult to do this process on your own if you prepare your documents well and listen to the guidance given in this group. Many thanks to all that provide their valuable assistance.

I will apply DTV with remote job next 2 weeks in Vietnam. I have all fully documents and I prepare but my bank account has only 170000 baht now and I will deposit 330000 tomorrow. Can I get the visa? Is will be risk? I lived in Thailand for 1 year on ED visa.

Please advise to me

Advice needed

I've been employed remotely for a US company for the last three years. I have my employment contract, money in the bank, a letter from my employer stating remote work is acceptable and tax returns for the last two years showing income from remote work. However, I've been taking an extended holiday for the last 6 months so I don't have proof of income during that time. I've started working again but won't be paid for a month or so.

Anyone know if this is likely to be an issue? Thanks in advance.
