Hi everyone.

I'm going to be applying for a dtv freelance visa soon. I have about 800,000 bhat in a tax free cash isa (UK account). This is not my main checking account. It has been there for over 6 months.

From anyone's experience, is this excepted? I will go to the Thai embassy in either Hanoi or HCMC vietnam.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: I have just found out that although it's possible to withdraw the money from this account early, it involves a small penalty and you have to personally visit an English bank to do so.... I'm guessing they won't exept this.

EDIT: Just got approved! I have written exactly what was in my passport - this is what the embassy in HCMC told me to do (Hanoi embassy is hard to contact).

Hey guys, I’m in Hanoi applying for DTV visa and have a problem with the ‘Place of issue’ for my passport. I have a Polish passport that I got in Jakarta, and it says ‘Authority’, which I assume is the same thing.

The problem is that it only says (in Polish) ‘Consul in Jakarta’ and that’s it. I'm unsure whether I should write it as it is, translate it, or something else. I know people got rejected because of that issue.

Btw, the embassy is not answering my emails 🙂 And the phone seems busy all the time.

I am looking for an updated post on the DTV experience in KL. I couldn't find one. So, decided to pose a question here.

American passport holder.

Been in Thailand for a few years on an ED visa.

Now I am planning to get DTV via Muay Thai.

I have had that 500,000 THB in my Thai account for more than 3 months.

Which embassy/consulate will be better? Vientiane, Laos, or KL, Malaysia?

Thank you for all your advice in advance.

Hello I’ve DTV visa already on my hand today but I’m worried that the name format on my visa page is not the same as on my passport as my last name came first on Visa page but last name on passport come last like XYZ become ZXY the thing is that we dont have family name but they put last name first as family name. Please would be appreciate if anyone could advise me if it can pose any problems at immigration, thank you. Sorry to post this anonymous as I supposed someone might know me here as an influencer. Thank you

May I know , can seafarers apply DTV ?

Hello,

I am currently in Thailand on tourist visa, my plan was to leave Thailand in mid october to go somewhere around to apply for the DTV visa

I just realised by reading posts from this group that I might need to show multiple months of bank statement of 500k but as of last week my bank account was close to 0$ .. since last week i started slowly selling some investment (3k CAD per day) to being my bank account close to 600k by next week.

My question is which is the best embassy for a smooth process in my case ?

Hi all, I’m feeling worried about being able to enter Thailand because of this stamp in my passport during a Vientiane border run from back in 2018, any advice is great appreciated.

Ps. US passport.

Hello, i transfered money to a thai lamguage school under the impression that i can recieve an ed visa for 9 months. I asked and it was stated that i can infact leave my country (egypt) with recieved ed visa.

Then the language school contacted me after transfer to inform me i should make sure from my embassy in cairo if i can recieve the visa.

After calling the embassy they said there was no duch thing as an ed visa and i cant switch visa from tourist to ed after i get to thailand? Anyone have info
