Hi all! Sorry if this has been answered repeatedly but couldn't find an answer.
I'm currently on my 2nd year of ED visa and was planning on getting the DTV next year after the current ED runs out. However I might not have enough saved up to qualify for the DTV (because it needs to be in my account 3 months prior).
At this moment the plan is to go for a 3rd year ED visa, but I have read that it might reflect negatively and result in a DTV visa rejection.
We love Thailand, really feel at home and would love to stay longer. However I'm unsure about what's the best course of action at this moment.
have two questions regarding the DTV visa process:
1. I paid the visa fee on July 9 and submitted all documents on July 17, but the status is still "under review." I’ve seen people say it can take anywhere from 2 days to over a month depending on the embassy, but does anyone know the official processing time?
2. Regarding the 500,000 THB financial requirement: In the official checklist, it says the funds must be inibank account for 3 months. However, about two months ago, I emailed the embassy and asked if I could use money from a Thai money market fund (mutual fund), and they replied that it’s fine to sell the fund at the time of application, as long as the money is under my name. Now I'm reading completely different things, and I’m confused.
I’m honestly quite stressed about this process and really hope I won’t get rejected.
If I do get denied, can I apply again at a different embassy (like in Vietnam), or will it already be flagged in the system?ץ
I recently applied for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) as a Dutch national, under the Thai Soft Power Activities category (Muay Thai training). I submitted my application to the Thai embassy in The Hague, but unfortunately it was rejected.
Here’s what I submitted:
1. Biometric passport page
2. Recent passport photo
3. Bank statement (over 500,000 THB in my name, held for 3+ months)
4. Proof of residence
5. Muay Thai gym documentation
I initially uploaded the standard documentation provided by the Muay Thai gym. After submission, the embassy specifically asked for “a certificate issued to the school/gym from the Office of Boxing Sport Board, Sports Authority of Thailand.”
The gym was surprised, as they claimed this was already included. Still, they issued a new cover letter explaining their compliance with all relevant government bodies. I uploaded that — but even after submitting the extra explanation, the visa was rejected.
It seems the reason for rejection is linked to the Muay Thai documentation, despite all efforts.
My flight to Thailand is booked for September 1st, and I’m now unsure what to do:
1. Re-apply with another Muay Thai gym
2. Apply under the Workation category instead (I meet all requirements)
3. Go to Vietnam or another nearby country and apply from there
Has anyone dealt with a similar issue? Any advice would be hugely appreciated — especially before I spend another €350 on a new application.
Hi there! For the DTV visa regarding the 500k baht requirement, does it work if this money is split between multiple bank accounts, as long as they are all under your name?
Doesn’t want to do international transfers and lose commission money in the process just to have all in once place. Unless it’s absolutely necessary
Will be applying from the Taipei embassy for reference
I just apply for a METV-multiple entry visa. There is only one upload for the flight leaving the country. Is it the flight (Saigon for me) within the 2 month first stay or the last trip back to my homecountry after 5 and 1/2 month?
It's the embassy in Vienna, it is difficult to ask per phone.
I just received a visa rejection email from the Thai Embassy in Dhaka. I applied under the Workcation Visa category on June 22, and today, instead of moving forward from “Pending Document Check,” it went straight to Visa Rejected.
Not sure what I might have missed! But I can ensure you that all documents and the input on e visa portarl was correct and legit.
Here’s what I submitted:
✅ Bank statements and solvency certificate (with more than the required amount, over 6 months) with regular tranjactions.
✅ Employment confirmation letter and an LLC company report from my employer (I work with them via Upwork). Been working for that company for the last 3 years.
✅ Upwork income certificate for the last 12 months
✅ Freelancer ID issued by the Bangladesh government
✅ All other regular documents (residency proof, air ticket, hotel booking, etc.)
Do you think I should apply again? If yes, when would be the right time?
Any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated.
