Does anyone have anecdotal stories/experience of how long you have to send in documents after request for additional documents?

I'm doing the soft-power and am requesting documents from medical provider (Chiang Mai Ram in this case) and they told me will be atleast 7 business days.

I read someone said needs to finish within 90 days after paying fee but I'd like to clarify in case then I can send what I already have, which is not as detailed.

(This is applied at the Vietnam HCMC Consulate)

DTV Visa approved. Application on January 4 and January 16 approved Helsinki 🇫🇮

I would like to thank this group for helping me get approved for the DTV. visa for remote worker without need for additional documents. I didn’t get the Visa by email. I had to download it from the website. If you did not get your email, there is a function on the website where you can download it.

I submitted the visa application to the Royal Thai embassy of Los Angeles on January 6, 2025. It was issued today.

The expected wait time was three weeks.

Here is what I included

-A letter authorizing remote work in Thailand, which I actually forgot to sign

-A letter with the links to all of my advertisements related to my remote work, including my website

-My professional résumé and link LinkedIn

-Screenshots of my website and advertisements that I have created

-Photographe

-Drivers license with current address

-Voter Registration with current address

IRS letter with current address

-Six months of bank statements with ฿500,000 baht, front page only

-The original IRS letter with the tax ID number for my company that was issued to me

-The companies’s articles of organization

-Registration from the Secretary of State that I downloaded from the website from the year of 2023

So yesterday, I was reading that someone stated that specifically they needed to put that they were not to work in Thailand and I had forgotten that, and upon looking at my letter, I forgot to sign it. Since I own the company as a single member, I had to write the letter to myself from myself.

So I added the letter I signed it. I sent it to the visa department and I woke up this morning and I got no email and I got a message from their line information that they would ask for it if they needed it.

I went over to the website where my applications were, I clicked on the tab, and I noticed that it had been approved

I did not get the email however I nobody responded when I emailed, but I noticed it on the left toolbar. There is a function where you can download the visa and now I have it.

I did not have to submit any salary or statements of transfer or show any of the detail of the statements, they approved it based on my tax return, and my letter with the stated annual salary

Thank you to anybody that has answered my questions in this group. You’ve been very helpful, I was able to get this and not any less than the time prescribed, I didn’t have to submit anything additional.

Just got the DTV in Manila! I submitted all the requested documents through the E Visa (I own my own business and was able to show bank statements from the business) and they requested details on my business and services, paperwork showing I founded and own the business, and the business license. I was staying here for a couple weeks and just used my hotel booking as proof of location and it was approved within a week.

So just putting it out there that Manila is a great option for applying!

Embassies have started to call people in for an interview in person. Recently happened with friends that applied for the DTV in Frankfurt, Germany. After 3-4 weeks in the process. No further documents asked in the eVisa portal. So be careful when you apply from abroad. 😉

Has anyone applied for their DTV visa in South Korea, if so how was the process and experience?

Has anyone applied for DTV in Malaysia? How long was the process?

4 days processing and got my DTV

Submitted Photo & passport & bank statements & Proof stamp of being in Hanoi as part of my application

Next day they asked for certificate or incorporation for the company I work for & updated bank statement showing the balance still in the account

Then nothing for 2 more days it’s really easy people shouldn’t stress key is employment & money

Boom I’m going to celebrate buying a new car in bangkok

Did anyone get approved in HCMC, with a 6 months bank statement, where they transferred the 500.000 bath 1-2 weeks before application (soft power)?

Thanks in advance 😍🙏🏼

Just curious has anyone had to provide a background check during their DTV process? Or does anyone have any evidence that the process somehow included the Thai immigration pulling a background check on you? Lastly, does anyone know of a person who was denied the DTV because of a spotty background? If so, just how strict are they?

Thank you
