Thought I’d share success story.

Got the DTV and went down with no dramas at DMK. Just handed over a print out of my visa and said “DTV”.

Applied through Canberra consulate with a sponsor covering the financial requirement (didn’t need to show my bank account).

Took about 5 weeks.

DTV update on my application in Jakarta, Indonesia.

Applied on 24th Jan

Approved on 28th Jan

Applied on Soft Power Muay Thai gym in Phuket.

Documents submitted:

*500k THB equivalent in my home country 6 months bank statement, averaging almost 300k thb every month, in end it was 500K as Closing balance.

*Muay thai DTV Documents received from Gym

*Passport copy and Photo

*Proof of Location in JKT - hotel confirmation and Boarding pass Bkk - JKT

*Payment of 10k THB online as Visa fees

That's all....

No addl Documents asked.

Interesting part : I submitted on Friday morning 9am 24th Jan. Monday was showing Pending approval. Tuesday 28th Jan was Approved at 5pm. And Monday was a Public holiday.

So actually it took ONLY 2 working days for me (Friday and Tuesday)

HAPPY!!!!
