Hello everyone, how many months financial proof and bank statements are required in Vietnam for the DTV softpower visa maybe someone has experience with it?thanks

Approved!! Ottawa Embassy for Canadians:

Applied September 11 thursday but used an agent (ISSA COMPASS) so they submitted it on the 12th. No updates until the 26th, on the 26th they asked for proof of where my funds came from.

I don’t hold much liquid cash in my bank account so the last transaction on my latest statement showed a lump sum of cash transferred into it from my stock portfolio.

I showed proof of my stock portfolio with statements, sourcing where the funds came from.

October 2 - approved

I’m a travel live streamer and used that for the DTV application. I showed proof of income from kick (the platform I stream on) and stripe payments that I received the last year. I was travelling most of 2025. Luckily I opened up a new corporation for that in July when I came back home in Toronto and used it for additional evidence towards the visa. I also sent my resume as requested by issa & also a cover letter explaining my duties and job scope. Gst / hst corporation registration letters and also the articles of incorporation documents.

I highly recommend using ISSA COMPASS the agent, because as a new business owner and digital nomad they helped with every little detail on what I must provide to get the highest chances of approval. Especially with a kind of tricky not so known “job”.

It also has money back free guarantee. No I’m not sponsored or shilling them out. Just a genuine experience.

$650 CAD cost for the visa application

I think the agent takes around $160 but I found a discount code online, (idk what the code is anymore), to reduce it to only around $80 cad.

I mean approximately 2000 THB to do this whole service is pretty great to me.

Only thing is that they reply on Bangkok Time because they’re from there. So I would be receiving messages at midnight to 3 am EST. Luckily my sleep schedule works around this haha.

I assume it was also approved earlier during the day on Oct 1 EST time but the agent don’t get to you until their working hours. So whenever the embassy in Canada asks something you would have to wait until night to receive the agents response and submit it then. So it would add a day delay if that makes sense.

Either way, still a great service.

Hello all!

Anyone recently apply through the CHICAGO consulate for a DTV visa with a bank statement of less than 3 full months of $16,000 in your account?

The requirements listed on the Chicago Consulate website for the DTV aren't clear if it's necessary to have 3 full months, or if a shorter time is fine as long as you meet that $16k minimum.

All it says is *"a copy of a recent saving or checking bank statement with an ending balance of no less than 500,000 THB or ($16,000)".*

I'm hoping I can apply with 2 months and not have any issues but would love any input or data points from other's recent experience with the CHICAGO consulate.

Thank you!

Dear all Regarding the 500k bhat financial prove. Incase the money have been settled in a certificate of deposit for three months duration time which is flexible and can be withdrawn any time " the money have been in account for long time just some times I buy certificate of deposit for intrest earns". Will it be acceptable to submit as a financial prove.

Infact in the time of applying for DTV visa which is next month the money will be already withdrawn automatically from the certificate of deposit.

Additionally I have a car and bike in Thailand will it help if attaching the blue books with the application to avoid any rejections

I tried calling the thai empassy to enquire but unfortunately couldnt reach them Anyone have information or have applied with similar situation? Please advice

Recommend you create an account on the eVisa site to familiarize yourself with the requirements/info being requested. With a bit of planning, organization, and patience, you should be able to arrange what’s required for the application. It’s very straightforward. Given the context of my application and in my personal experience an agent is not necessary. Good Luck 😀

Hi everyone, I’m a US citizen married to a Thai national and planning to apply for a Non-Immigrant O visa (based on marriage) outside Thailand. I prefer a multi-entry visa for flexibility, as I may need to leave briefly for business, but I’m open to a single-entry visa if multi-entry is too difficult to obtain. I’d like to use US bank statements and pay stubs for financial proof, as I don’t want to transfer funds to a Thai bank account at least for the intial 90 day. I’m opem to transfer at the 1 year extension. Can anyone recommend the best consulates/embassies (e.g., Penang, Vientiane, Ho Chi Minh City, etc.) that accept US financial documents for single- or multi-entry Non-O visas? Has anyone had success with these documents, and what was required? Any recent experiences or tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I am also curious if anyone has had success applying for multiple Non-Immigrant O visas instead of doing the 1 year extension. Thank you!

***For further context. I was married here in Thailand and I am here at the moment on a tourist visa. We’ve applied for a CR-1 and now it is just a waiting game and buying time until we get approval.

Hello guys, I want to ask few questions.

Question 1:

Has anyone applied for a DTV Dependent Visa in Vientiane in August and had an in-person interview?

Question 2:

If you had a dependent visa interview, how did you show mobile banking proof when the financial support is via sponsor letter?

Hey everyone,

Quick question: in the case where I’ve done a bank account switch within the last 3 months, is it acceptable to provide bank statements from both banks in order to justify the €15,000 available on my account ?

Has anyone ever been in this situation ?

Thanks in advance for your feedback 🙏

Hi. I’m applying for DTV via soft power Route in London. My bank I use and have my savings in is Revolut. Will I be able to use this as my financial proof? I recall seeing somewhere that revolut isn’t allowed in some countries

Warning (and question) about LTR.

The BOI has asked further documents from me after I provided the normal required information for wealthy pensioneer (80k passive income, health insurance, etc).

Either a health insurance covering at least 50k USD and running 10 months more

Or

Proof that I had 100k USD in my bank for the last 12 months.

Now I don’t know anyone having 100k in the bank for a year. People having that amount have it in assets - like I have my savings in stocks.

And insurance? Mine covers up to 1 million (a big heart surgery) and runs 12 months before being renewed. But it will be renewed next January, so it’s not covering 10 months from now. I had to get another (lots cheaper) one just for that.

Has anybody had a similar experience?
