When applying for non O 90 day visa in the UK are joint account statements ok or do they have to be in my name only? thanks in advance

I am in Vietnam (Hanoi) now finalizing DTV business owner application) and have a question about brokerage accounts, I’m using to only store cash.

I have a Robinhood account and my cash has been sitting there for a year with no investments earning 4% interest. It shows it 100% cash on the statements. Anyone have experience in how to present this since it’s not a “traditional” bank? Do I need some kind of cover letter, or additional evidence? Thank you! 🙏

Approved. Soft skills. Muay Thai. Cambodia. German Passport.

Applied: Friday August 8th

Approved: Wednesday evening August 27th

I've been living in Thailand since 2013. Mostly on Marriage Visa and extensions, but the past 2 years a mix between border runs ( 60 day arrival stamps ) and 1 year ED-Visa.

I chose Muay Thai Fever for documents. They did advice to go to basically any country other than Cambodia, because they are known to be difficult. But, I was a bit stubborn. I've been wanting to visit Cambodia / Angkor Wat for years already and decided to stay in Siem Reap for the time. If push comes to shove, I'd just try again in Vietnam.

I also used Issa Compass to handle all the paperwork and submit the documents. Very reasonable price + money back guarantee if I get declined. No brainer for me.

I provided Issa Compass with all documentation and they submitted everything Friday August 8th. I should mention, I already have 2 Bank accounts in Thailand. Both were way under 500k. I topped "sleeper" account up to 500k in May of this year...so about 3 months prior to applying. I gave Issa 6 months worth of statements with almost no transactions except the 500k deposit in May.

The following week I was asked if I can provide a different bank statement "to make my case stronger". I provided my everyday account statement, also 6 months...but balance always around 20k. ( I hold most my assets in crypto and convert to THB as needed ).

They agreed to use that bank account as well, eventhough it was way below 500k.

A few days passed, and I was asked when I opened those accounts and which Visa. ( I was surprised and scared by those questions ). I provided pictures of my Visas for ~8 years ago ( mind you, I have a new passport since then as well ).

Then another few days later, they wanted some other document from Muay Thai Fever gym. They explained usually its not needed ( Cambodia apparently is the only embassy that asks for this one specific document ). I forwarded the information to my Agent Issa Compass. They understood the explanation.

Another ~2 weeks passed and I got the Approved! Email.

Without the Visa agent / Issa Compass I would have failed surely. I assume some?all? Visa agents have a direct line of communication with the embassy to handle missing paperwork. Whereas a normal applicant would possibly just get a rejection with or without explanation.

Hey guys! My history of transactions of the last 6 months from Revolut, is super long, like over 100 pages, a lot of small transactions like grabs etc, is it ok to upload that? Thanks

When submitting bank statements. Are people blanking out the non related purchases etc. / editing them. Or submitting complete bank statements untouched?

Example. Blacking out non related transactions.

Did anyone deal with translating their bank statement? Mine is in german and banks at home make it so difficult to translate 🫩

TIA for any advice 🙏🏼

the minimum for soft power is 500k baht, but some people say that is not enough to apply and that youll still need proof of income.

i wont have steady income at the time i apply but i do plan on getting remote work once i settle in. should i mention this if the embassy asks how ill sustain myself? whats the best way to go about it?

Has anyone here had success going in person to the Embassy in Hanoi to clarify or fix an issue with their DTV application?

I got an email asking for more documents

It says ‘ not enough money ‘

but I already submitted 3 months showing over £11,000 (which is above 500,000 THB).

I’m confused to what they’re asking - has anyone experienced this please

Non o

Going to apply from Vietnam in October for Married non immigrant o. For financials was going to supply my bank records from America showing income and stability, I can’t get an account opened here.

Will Thai embassy require the statements to be translated?

I’m interested how someone else interprets this response for my application question on amount of months seasoned the 500k needs for DTV HCMC consulate… I see it as only the final balance needs to be 500k.?

Please submit your transactions latest 6 months in your bank account and ensure your closing balance not less than 500,000 Baht. (it can be from any bank, in any currency)
