Hello, I saw that the revenues on the bank statements should be circled in red. Did you print it and circle it or did you do it on your PC?

Hi, I have a DTV visa, however my passport is due to expire within 1 year. So, I was thinking of getting the passport renewed.

But I'm worried would it cause any problems as I haven't used the visa yet, or carrying the blank new passport with the old one suffice.

Thanks 😊

Hello. May I know if I can request E Visa page for already issued DTV Visa? Because I got mine before they change to E-Visa system. So I only have Visa Stamp in my passport.

What happened is the bank asked me to provide E-Visa page to open bank account (ttb).

Although I had explained why I don’t have E Visa they keep asking for it. The Visa stamp in my passport is not enough for them.

Looking for some advice. I plan to apply for a DTV from the UK, as I plan to go to Thailand in late September 2025.

Timing wise, from when should I be applying for a DTV?

Assuming the DTV is approved, is it correct that I need to go to Thailand within 90 days of the approval?

Thanks in advance.

Is it a mistake to use my Thai bank account to show proof of funds, instead of one from my home country? I’m aware it could highlight that I’ve essentially been living in Thailand for the past six months (on visa exemptions), and that I’ve had a Thai account for four years now (I’ve been on various visas). My passport stamps tell the same story, however.

Insurance related question so hope falls under ‘More’ category!

Any advice on best travel insurance company to use for travelling from Thailand to USA? Most UK/European providers need you to depart and return from/to your ‘home’ country.

Hi everyone,

I applied for my DTV visa on April 1st via the official website in Hanoi, Vietnam, and my visa is still pending approval. My flight back is scheduled for Wednesday at the end of the day, and I’m getting worried about the timing because Monday its holidays in both countries 😢

Has anyone experienced a similar situation? Should I contact the embassy immediately to get an update, or is it normal to wait a little longer? I’d really appreciate any advice or recommendations you might have.

Thank you very much!
