Want to apply for Soft Power (Muay Thai) in Germany as a German citizen. Has anyone done that and got approved and can let me know what documents you've send in, how long it took and if the embassy had any additional requests?

Hello,

I am planning to apply for the DTV (Expats type) in Vietnam and am currently preparing my bank account to meet the financial requirement.

Previously, I applied through an agent in Laos, but the documents submitted were not strong enough, so I had to cancel the application. Since then, I have been preparing stronger documents and this time I would like to apply on my own.

I have a few questions:

1. For the financial requirement of 500,000 baht, does the full amount need to be in my account for the last three months, or is it acceptable if the amount has accumulated over time?

2. Since I cancelled my application in Laos, can I reapply in the same country with improved documents, or would I need to apply in another country? Is Vietnam a good choice?

Thank you very much in advance.

Because visa applications now are all through the E Visa website. Is the paper application form even necessary?

Has anyone been successful without downloading, printing, completing & then uploading the old paper form?It seems unnecessary?

I applied for soft power. After about 2 weeks of document check pending status, they requested more documents. One was employment letter, I don't know what that has to do with soft power? I work freelance so can't really provide this anyways. The other requested document was bank statement, which I already provided that was well over 500k. Not sure what to do next.

My bank just told me they cant give me monthly statements in English. However, they can give me a report of the current amount of money on my account in English. So I was thinking of asking them to give me one at the end of September, another one at the end of October and another one at the end of November. I plan to apply in early December. Do you think the Vientiane embassy will accept this?

My partner is a financial advisor and is asking what exactly should he present as a proof of his work. Should he make a detailed description of the services he offer? How detailed? Woth some printscreens? We plan to apply for DTV in Vientiane in December.

My fear is that I will be required to go to an embassy in person:

I'm thinking of flying from Thailand to Danang to be in Vietnam while applying for the DTV.

If there are extra documents required, can I submit them electronically from anywhere in Vietnam?

I'm applying for a workation DTV. I don't yet have my own company, but I can show income coming in to my bank account.

How likely is it that I would need to travel to an embassy?

Hi everyone, I am having issues about my bank statement with Hanoi embassy.

I want to use my "Livret A" saving account (french account) that exceeds the 500k thb required for more than a year. The issue is I did not make any transfer since end of april. So when my bank edit for me my bank statement, there is nothing to show after this date.

Even if my bank stated at the end of the document "We, *bank name*, certify the absence of transactions on savings account No. xxxxxxxx from 30 April 2025 to this day, 06 August 2025.", the thai embassy sent me the mail today required "Updated bank statement from May to present."

I am a bit lost, I do not know what to do, if someone can help me please.

I took a screenshot of my livret A web page, my bank also sent me the listing of all my account with the balance every end of month from end of february until end of july. I also plan to send an eglish+thai letter to explain everything about the different documents and I hope it will be enough.

I also asked my bank to stamp and sign the screenshot of my livret A web page if it can help too.

I really feel my application is legit, I have the money on my account for more than 2 years, it is just I cannot give the template of bank statement they want, because of my bank.

Thank you all for your help

Edit : This is what I sent to my bank, with a cover letter including this "At present, I hold 22,950 EUR in a Livret A savings account with Credit Agricole, which is equivalent to approximately 864,756 THB. The Livret A is a special government-supported savings account available in France, known for its safety, accessibility, offers tax-free interest, and high liquidity. I am able to withdraw and utilize these funds at any time for my daily expenses."

Hi, how can I fulfill this additional document request? I'm outside of Thailand.
