I need DTV VISA can you please help me.

Hi friends! Is it advisable to apply for the DTV Visa in the states before heading to Thailand???

Retirement visa question…

I’m a 68 year old American and my wife if an under 50 Chinese national. We are legally married in USA but no green card. If I get a standard retirement visa, i.e, 800k bank deposit and proof of income, can she be attached to my visa as a depended?

Hello everyone,

I've just applied for a DTV visa at the Thai embassy in France. On the website they talk about 4 weeks just to look at the documents.

Has anyone already got the visa from the French embassy and in how long?

Hey guys anyone know the current wait time to get DTV visa processes for softpower in Hanoi? If anyone has applied in Hanoi recently would be great to know.

I have a question.

I did a border run three times last year (one year ago). Eight months ago, I came to Bangkok from Australia for a medical check-up, and now I’m planning to visit Bangkok again soon. Should I be worried about being denied entry or facing any trouble?

Thanks!

Hello everyone, today I have submitted my DTV visa application online (soft power) in Frankfurt Germany. I want to know how long it will take me to know the result and whether I will be approved or not. I am very excited and worried. 😇😇

Hi folks, soon I will start my online application for the DTV. Before I get started, I would like to know if after I begin the applicaiton, and I realise that perhaps I have the wrong document / forgot a document, can the application be saved mid way through and then I go back to it later? Or does it all have to be done in one sitting? I am applying from Japan, and Japan seems to require several more documents than other country's Thai embassies. Cheers

Approved in Hanoi!

I'd like to thank everyone in this group for sharing their experience, that's been super helpful. Here's mine with a French passport:

January 14th: Applied under the remote work category

January 14th: Requested additional documents: Page of my passport with the Vietnamese immigration stamp.

January 14th: Moved to "Pending Approval"

January 21st: No news, so I sent an email and called them. No one answered the phone. But around 5PM, I got the visa by email.

What I provided:

1. Savings account with more than 500k. I had about 600k at the time of application. My savings are on Revolut.

1. Work contracts + earning certificate from Upwork. I'm a freelancer with 3 clients in EU, US, UK, and other smaller projects on Upwork. So I merged all the signed contracts + the Upwork paper into 1 PDF.

1. A photo of my passport + my photo in front of the hotel with the room key. I suggest you to add the stamp from immigration too (I didn't). Merge all in a PDF doc too.

1. A flight number and where I planned to stay in Thailand. I booked a temporary flight ticket + a hotel with no credit card required for a month. They do not ask for a confirmation email or any screenshot.

I was in Sapa the whole time while waiting and it was fine.

Please keep in mind that Hanoi embassy will probably close next week due to the Lunar New Year, so it might take longer for you to get it.

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks again everyone that contributed in this group!

Hello, friends! What did you use for Document indicating current location?
