Dutch DTV approved

Just sharing processs for any fellow Dutch folks and hope it help anyone to navigate their insecurities and hope in approvals.

And Thank you to Thailand for always welcoming foreigners, unlike EU and other countries :-)

**

Processs**

E-Visa, applied online with embassy The Hague Netherlands. Do not require or need to go embassy in person, but they do require you to be in NL during when you submit the DTV visa and during the process, just in case you need to go embassy.

if you’re abroad during the application first day of visa submission, you will be rejected for sure.

I was rejected in July as I was still in Asia, because I thought it will take weeks and apply first only and fly back NL later to collect.

**First time: rejected 15 July 2024

**because I wasn’t in the same country of the embassy (Netherlands)

Second time : Approved 18 Aug 2024

Submitted : Wed 14 Aug (by online eVisa)

Approved: Sun 18 Aug (by email)

Request for additional docs: Yes.

Background profile:

* Dutch national

* official resident with work visa in Singapore

* solo DTV application

* I have a Pte Ltd (BV) company registered in Singapore since 2016

* I am sole director and sole employee

* Company is in retail/wholesale trading and consultancy.

Documents submitted during the first and second DTV application:

* passport bio page

* photo

* Flight ticket

* Proof of living address. I used my bank statement.

* Copy of Directors Resolution stating I’m working remotely from abroad as per 2023 in which I myself have outlined: authorization, responsibilities, communication, compliance to local law, review and termination.

* Properly stamped with company stamp and signature (in Asia an “official” company ink stamp and signature hold a lot of value and authenticity, though legally it doesnt. A signature only on a company letterhead is not considered official in most asian countries

* Bank statement from Wise, the amount I’ve recently transferred just a month ago before DTV submission. Just to make sure it’s all on one bank account for their convenience.

* If you use wise bank, get the signed statement report from wise desktop. Via the mobile App is not available. It has a real stamp and signature

Additional documents requested after submission:

* Proof of Company business registration certificate

* All pages of my passport including empty ones. This was abit of tech hassle as they only allowed max 3MB upload since I have a business passport with double amount the pages than a regular Dutch passport

* First submision in July: they only requested the stamped pages in my passport, after I submitted , they requested all pages of my passport.

* Second submission in August; they requested all pages immediately (this may have to do with change of rules, my first time submission was merely 2 weeks after they announced DTV

* My passport shows proof : a lot of stamps and visas as I travel incredible a lot for work .. entry and exit stamps almost every month throughout Asia and Europe.

Note:

Each embassy in each country is different.

I could have applied in Singapore as I am working there, but they said I have to apply in person and bring copy printed papers when collecting and will take 3-4 weeks. Singapore will start using eVisa online by October 2024.

Hello! Anyone got DTV from Embassy in Hanoi , Vietnam, do you need to book appointment to collect the visa?

Hi, the information I have seen so far is that Malaysia is more strict and cannot even use electronic statements. It must be a physical seal. I heard that Cambodia will wait for more than a week? Would the embassy in Hanoi be better? Six months of statements are necessary, right? Proof of deposit is not enough. Thanks

Hi everyone

I need your advice please.

I have applied dtv visa in Phnom penh, Cambodia meaning submitted documents and been waiting for the appointment.

It just occurred to me that I remembered I haven't included the copy of Cambodia entry page in the documents.

I have left passport at the embassy. My appointment is next Friday.

Should I go back to embassy and ask my passport back to print a copy of that page?

I am so forgetful to have included that page.

Is that mandatory?

Are most embassies wanting the passport bio page photocopy in color or is black n white ok?

Any UK citizens successfully applied for DTV from Laos,Vietnam or Indonesia? If so could you please tell me a bit about the procedure?I am planning on going to apply at 1 of these places, but I’m trying to work out which is best.

Hi everyone,

Regarding the 500,000 THB requirement for the DTV Visa. If the funds are currently spread across different investment accounts, would it be acceptable to transfer the money to a Monzo (UK bank) account prior to applying (2 weeks), even though the new account wouldn’t reflect the 6-month holding period? I can provide proof of the source and trace the transactions back to the original accounts where the funds have been held for over 6 months.

Has anyone experienced this, or know if this would meet the financial requirements for the visa?

Thanks in advance for any insights!

(Asking for a friend, I already got my DTV approved in HCMC)

Once the Vietnam visa goes online on October, will it still be possible to go physically to the embassy and apply the documents there or will it only be online?

Received DTV successfully within 3 working days in Jakarta. No long queue. Happy Dance 🎉

I submitted a personal bank statement, company bank statement, company registration and company letter describing my business.

Note that applications are only accepted between 9am to 11am, Mon to Thurs. If you come in the afternoon, you will be turned away.

Hi guys! Does anyone has knowledge or experience with using a sponsership letter while applying for the visa? I have family In Thailand who can provide me with such letter.

Also I am in Thailand on a tourist visa right now and if I want to go apply I would want to go to an embassy near. I have Spanish residency but it’s really inconvenient for me to go all the way back there and apply from there. What type of document will they accept to indicate current location?
