Does anyone know the processing time for the DTV application in UK?

Is Indonesia/Vietnam the better option?

Hello!

I have a couple of questions regarding the choice of Embassy/Consulate.

1. I applied in Frankfurt/Germany and got a request for addiitional documents four days after I initially applied. Since I submitted the documents, it's been almost three weeks without any update. Has anyone else here gone through Frankfurt in recent weeks/months? What are your experiences?

2. I thought I have to go through Frankfurt, because it's close to where I live, and they are responsible for handling request from people in my region. Since there is a lot of discussion in this forum about choosing a different embassy/consulate for applying, I would love to understand the way this would work. Are you guys then travelling to the place of that specific consulate and stay there until the decision on the DTV has been made? Thanks in advance!

Hey:)

Has anyone recently submitted a DTV soft in Taipei Taiwan, and can share their experience?

Hello has anybody recently had any issues at the airport with them asking to show the 500,000 THB, that was needed for qualification is still in your bank account? I’ve heard multiple people saying they had issues at the airport with this and was just curious if everybody was experiencing this?

I will need to apply for a DTV from the UK embassy.

What are peoples experiences of applications through there?

Having looked through a lot of posts etc, I am still confused by what is actually required by the London embassy as requirements seem to differ greatly between locations.

I have been told that London only requires the bank balance on the month of the application, not 3 months, that they do not check previous earnings ( I do have them ) and other diffferences in some requirements.

I would be applying as a freelancer with a portfolio of apps and my marketing business.

Could people who have actually applied through the London embassy please confirm what the emabasy actually requested so I can be fully prepared.

There is so much conflicting information out there that I need a better perspective from people that have actually done it.

Thanks

Hi Everyone!

Can anyone share some suggestions or experiences about applying for the DTV Soft Power Visa under the Muay Thai program in Hanoi?

Did you include any work-related documents in your application?

I submitted mine on the 3/11 as others, but unfortunately, I received the email it was rejected on Today.

Here’s what I attached:

• Muay Thai enrollment documents

• My Vietnam stay information

• My financial bank statement

I’m wondering if the reason for the rejection was because I didn’t include any work-related documents.

So thanks for the replies on my past questions, very helpful.

My experience with khon kaen immigration and banking was long but not bad. We went to immigration (which is in the middle of nowhere 20 minutes north, don't know why.)about 945am, pretty quiet.

I just wanted a residence certificate for banking and drivers license. The copier lady on the 2nd floor was helpful, we had to go to the 90 day checking room first, I guess they verify you are valid or something. I already had a tm30 filled out with my sister in law signature. Copier lady made a copy of my passport.

Went into the 90 day room and dropped my packet in the inbox. An older civil servant picked it up, looked at it and handed it to the other worker. About 15 minutes later she called us up and asked what I wanted, then she gave us a couple of receipts and directed us to the main waiting room. Went to the guys at the info desk and they directed me to give my packet to the first lady officer. Nice looking older lady, but I don't think she is able to smile, the earth might stop moving 😄. The officer looked at the packet, gave it back to us with an application for the residence certificate. We filled it out and sat down to wait. An older female civil servant walked up to us and looked at the application, said she needed 500 baht and disappeared. Came back a few minutes later and gave the packet to her underling. 15 minutes later the underling came back with both certificates. One thing I will say about the older civil servant lady, she was extremely helpful to a couple who had filled out some of their forms incorrectly, so patient and understanding. Everything there is very professional, the only thing I have to say is that some of the Falangs just come in, ripped shorts, flip flops and crappy t shirt. At least try to look professional, throw a nicer shirt on and clean shorts, it's kinda embarrassing.

Next, went to the cell phone store in Central plaza, got a cell number in my name with receipt, easy.

Walked into K bank in the same mall. Opened up an account there. I had a new girl so it probably took 3 times longer. Only thing, they wouldn't let me use usd to open the account, I had to use baht. They said I can only transfer 50k per day, but hopefully that is withdrawal, I need to deposit 800k very soon and 50k per day is painful.

Hi everyone! Just wanted to share my entrance to Thailand as I would read this group and I am a big worrier 🤣

Straight through at Bangkok, no questions. I handed my passport, A5 laminated DTV, my boarding pass and had my TDAC on my phone ready to show. We are from England and Mexico

Hi everyone,

I currently have an LLC with funds in my business account and I’m based in Vietnam. I’m looking for the simplest and most straightforward place to apply for the DTV visa. I’m open to traveling to another country if it makes the process easier. Would appreciate hearing from anyone who’s had a smooth experience—where did you go, and how was it?

Thanks in advance!
