Hi ☺️

I own a company in Bulgaria, working as an international commodities trader. I am the sole employee of the company, working remotely on a regular basis and managing everything through the company’s international bank account.

Do I meet the requirements to apply for the visa? Is my status sufficient? Would I need to transfer funds to my personal account, or would it be enough to present the company’s account? Or should I show both?

Just an FYI for anyone applying for the DTV visa through the soft power track. It's been a nightmare. My embassy is NYC and the requirements change frequently. The cooking course I scheduled states that their 2 week intensive course is eligible but the embassy now requires a course duration of at least 6 month.

Looking for advice on applying for DTV (Destination Thailand Visa) without third-party services

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to apply for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) and would love to hear from those who successfully applied through the Thai Embassy in Laos, Cambodia, or Vietnam without using third-party visa services.

Here’s my situation:

I have a remote 6-month contract with a Singapore-based company, and the contract will likely be extended in the future.

My supervisor has agreed to assist me with the 500,000 THB proof of funds requirement.

I’ve reviewed the official guidelines and understand the document requirements, but I’m hoping to learn from real experiences about:

1. The process and challenges of applying directly at these embassies.

2. How long the processing time took for you.

3. Any tips or specific embassy policies (e.g., differences between Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam).

4. Any additional documents or details that embassies asked for during your application.

If you’ve gone through this process, I’d greatly appreciate sharing your experience.

Thanks in advance!

I'm considering to apply for a DTV on the basis of a dentist appointment, regarding a crown procedure. Would a print of the appointment be enough to get approved?

Hi. I wanted to know the success rate of applying for an METV visa twice in one year? Anyone tried? appreciate any responses. Krup

Can anybody provide comprehensive and accurate guidance on the DTV please? I am reading conflictive stuff across different sources.

What are the various options? Nomad working, Education (Muay Thai, etc), the others?

What are the fees and does this fee only apply to applicant who can then bring their spouse and dependents at no extra cost?

I would appreciate getting the facts please 🙏

DTV Requirements: Clarification Needed

I'm looking for clarification on the financial requirements for a DTV visa. Specifically:

1. Does the 500,000 Baht need to be in a bank account for a specific period of time before applying? If so, how long?

1. Would funds in a liquidable retirement account (such as a 401k from a previous employer or a Roth IRA) be acceptable if they can be cashed out if needed? Or do the funds need to be in a regular bank account?

Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated!

## **hey guys ! I am going to apply DTV visa next week.

Should the bank statement be issued on the same day as the application date? **Did it matter that it was issued a few days in advance ?

Dear Thai Visa community,

Today, I went to the Savannakhet Thai Embassy to apply for a Non-O visa as I have children. Unfortunately, I assumed everything was status quo and only learned about the new "No walk-ins" policy that came into effect on June 4th.

I'm now trying to create a reservation on the website they provided, but I don't see any openings for June. Is there an issue with my browser, or am I going to have to stay in Laos for a month?

I've attached a picture of what I'm seeing on the website. I would really appreciate any advice or guidance, as I would love to go back home as soon as possible. My wife and I have three small children, and being away from them is quite challenging.

Thank you in advance for your help!

I’m applying for the non-immigrant ED visa for my son while in Hong Kong. Does anyone know if he enters a country (in this case, HK) on one passport (HKID) can we get the visa affixed to his other (nationality) passport? Or does it have to be with the passport he entered the county with? Tried calling the consulate in HK with my question but no one answers. TIA!
