Do bank statements need to be stamped by bank. I have a friend who just did his without needing to go to his bank but he is based in Germany. He just downloaded pdf statements from his online banking then sent them to the Thai embassy and got approved.

I am thinking of applying from the UK and wanted to know if anyone did the same without bank statements being stamped.

So I’ve been asked to provide flight documents to attach to my DTV application.

I’m hesitant to do so because there’s no guarantee my application will be approved, and I may want to travel a month or so later than the date I originally mentioned.

A few questions:

1. What’s the risk if I arrive a few weeks or even a month later than the date stated in my application? Will this cause any issues with approval or entry?

2. Why isn’t the flight number I found for the same date which I included in the application form not sufficient?

3. Has anyone else received this request before, and how did you handle it if your travel dates weren’t confirmed yet?

4. Do I need to book a return flight?

Thanks in advance for any advice or experiences.

Hey everyone! I’d like to share my DTV approval process here:

• Embassy: Los Angeles, California

• Category: Soft Power - Discover Thai Nature Seminar

• Date Applied: September 16, 2025

• Documents Provided:

- Passport

- Updated Passport Pic

- Discover Thai Nature Certificate

- 6 mos Savings Statements of 15K Baht

- Lease Agreement**

• Request for Further Document - received September 17, 2025

- “Document indicating current location: Please upload your ID card or utility bill as proof of residency that you’re in our jurisdiction”

• **Document Provided:

- I wrote a letter of explanation due to my lease agreement being a month to month plan (no contract), and I don’t have to pay any additional bills here as I’m only renting a room. I also don’t have my mail or any other important documents at this address, only my PO Box which is listed on my drivers license. In the letter I offered to take a picture of myself on the property, but that wasn’t needed!

• September 18, 2025: APPROVED

This was a very quick and easy process for me, and I’m excited for the seminar! Please let me know if you have any questions!

Hi! I am a Slovenian national (EU) looking to apply for DTV on the grounds of “seminar” participation. I would be applying online while in the PHILIPPINES. Looking for tips on the application process there! 🙏

dtv soft power

do soft power applicants often get rejected? if you have the 500,000 baht and a letter from the business you’ll be studying at, is there a high chance you’ll be accepted?

Hey guys!

Currently applying for the dtv visa via Jakarta Embassy, I sent them 6 months of bank statements with my name on each page, now they are asking me to send everything again, under my name...did this happen to any of you guys? Do they wanna know if I still have the money to send an updated one? Should I highlight my name on every page? Asking for help 🙏🏼

Hi everyone,

I’m applying for a Thai Non-Immigrant O (Spouse) Visa for the first time through the Embassy in Canberra, and I’d really appreciate some advice from anyone who has gone through it recently.

From what I’ve read, the main requirements are:

• Marriage certificate + spouse’s Thai ID & house registration

• Invitation letter from spouse

• Bank statement showing at least 20,000 THB (individual) or 40,000 THB (family)

• Proof of residence in Australia

• Proof of accommodation in Thailand

• Flight itinerary

My question is: did the Embassy ask you for anything extra beyond this list (like proof of income, wedding photos, extra financials, etc.)? And was an invitation letter in English enough, or did you also provide one in Thai?

Any tips or clarifications would be a huge help since this is my first time applying 🙏

Thanks in advance!

Hello ! I'm currently writing my application on the thai e visa website, and my home city is not listed in the dropdown menu. I can put my girlfriend address but I won't have any utility bill under my name.

Question:

- Does the document indicating current location has to be at the same address than the one I put on the application

- Otherwise, what document can I provide ? Proof of accommodation + utility bill under my gf name ?

Embassy of application : Paris

Thanks !

Hi there, has anyone successfully applied for the DTV soft power through Education for Thai Language? i.e. going to a Thai language school to learn Thai. From what I can see online, this is usually only possible through a Educational visa but the Language school I am speaking with are saying DTV is possible through them.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Application for DTV asks for travel information and I am not sure of exact days of travel in October yet.

How do I submit flight information when no flight booked?
