Hello

What documents does one need for London embassy?

Do they ask for 2 years income tax?

I’ve been rejected from Ho Chi Minh.

I haven’t worked for over two years as I’ve been living off savings. I got a job in recently, mainly for the dtv. But as I haven’t paid any tax, or had incomes , I’m thinking that’s probably the reason I got rejected.

So keen to know what kind of requirements London has, before I travel home to apply from there. If I’m likely to have the same issue I won’t bother and set up home elsewhere.

Update from Phuket airport. Just arrived tonight from Vietnam and they cracking down hard on both non visa and visa holders. I been on my DTV for over a year and i needed to show 20k cash, pictures from my softpower training (muaythai) and they even asked me to call the gym owner to confirm i was still training there. Lucky the owner picked up the call. Was about 20 more people in same room as me and atleast 10 got denied entry and deported. From start to finish was around 2 hours to get my stamp. Be ready with your documents and proof.

I will be coming to Thailand in January on my non-O 90 day visa to subsequently apply for my spousal visa. After arrival, my plan is to quickly set up a bank account and immediately deposit more than 400k baht. I also plan to set up another bank account and begin immediately transferring more than 40k baht from the US every month. I thought that after the end of the 90 days and after approval of the one year spousal extension, I could then withdraw the 400k and continue the monthly transfers. I thought that before the end of the one year, I would have a record of more than 12 monthly transfers and all would be good. However, I was recently advised that I would still need the 400k in the first account to get the second year extension. Is that correct?

Hey Everyone!

Hope you are all having a great December!

I am wondering what peoples experiences have been when it comes to extending the DTV visa at the 6 month mark. I am mainly wondering if they are requesting proof of finances (the 500,000thb), like the did in my initial application.

I want to make sure I've got everything in order before I go in. I've read mixed information online but find this group has the most reliable information 😊

Thanks in advance for any help / advice!

Got DTV visa (Spouse / Dependent) approved in HCMC, Vietnam.

with Sponsor letter from wife (Main DTV-Visa Holder)

Timeline:

• DAY 1 (Tuesday) – submitted application

• DAY 2 (Wednesday) – pending approval

• DAY 9 (Wednesday) – visa approved ✅

My main DTV visa was approved and after the approval we submitted the dependent visa application for my husband. (same day)

I sponsored him, and these are the documents we provided in one PDF for the financial / sponsor proof:

- Sponsor letter

- Copy of my passport

- 3 months of bank statements (because a lot of people ask this in the group — I used the same 500,000 THB that I used for my own application, and he was also approved with it)

- Our international marriage certificate

No questions. No additional documents requested. Just one week of waiting at the pending approval stage.

⸻

Other submitted documents:

- Passport

- Photograph

- Copy of the main DTV visa

- Proof of location (flight booking confirmation, boarding pass, entry stamp, hotel reservation in Vietnam, photo with passport in front of the hotel)

- International marriage certificate (we added a separate page to the international marriage certificate with a short note that it is already translated into English and that English is the third language on the document. I saw in the group before that embassies sometimes miss this. So we added it just in case.)

Hello,

They have requested more documentation

DTV rejected from embassy in Singapore, even though I meet the criteria

For context, I am a Singaporean applying for the DTV as a remote freelance worker (I’m registered as a sole prop under ACRA). I’ve gotten my visa rejected even though I meet all the criteria (sufficient funds of min. 500K THB for 3 months)

I waited until I got my October 2025 bank statement, and this time I was sure that I had the minimum amount for 3 consecutive months - Aug, Sep, Oct 2025. I had all the other documents prepped and ready so all there was left to do was to compile the PDFs, and submit.

They emailed me the next working day requesting for more documents- those that didn’t have the upload field in the original application, such as the letter explaining my work, my ACRA business profile, and they even asked me to reupload my passport photo, because the background was slightly yellow (from scanning) instead of white. What confused me the most was that they said I had insufficient funds for October.

I took a second look at my October statement, which had more than enough funds. I thought maybe it was overlooked, as the 3 months’ of bank statements from multiple accounts totaled to about 42 pages.

I submitted my October statements again, and received an email saying my visa had been rejected due to insufficient funds in October.

It turns out that my bank statement did not reflect that I had the funds at the end of the month- it was only reflected in the account summary. For that, they claimed there’s no proof I have the funds. I emailed them to clarify if this was what they meant, but I haven’t gotten a reply so I’m going to appeal in person.

I really want to get the visa. Has anyone had a similar experience? If so, please share!

Hi. I'm retired this year and would like to stay in Thailand. I want to make a combination of 9 months Thailand and 3 months Belgium to see my kids. June, July and August I would be gone. I can prove I have 65.000 Baht every month but I not have the 800K to put in a bank. What kind of visum should I ask?

Thanks, Mario Belgium

How long do you need the money in your account for?
