# DTV from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Hello,

My questions:

1. Do I submit the application only online, or also in person at the embassy in Kuala Lumpur? Or this, or this?

2. Is the current bank statement from the last 3 or 6 months confirming the amount of 500,000 baht?

3. Do I have to be physically present in Malaysia (if online)?

Is it possible to report someone who was approved in Hanoi for DTV by falsifying bank statements and earning records (it was so blatant that even the deposit amounts were not matching)? I have access to all this person’s application package.

Edited to add - This person is from the US and had defrauded other people.

Has anyone experience with handing in non-English bank statements (and payslips) at an embassy outside of your home country?

For example I’m German and I apply for workation DTV in Vietnam and I am a bit lost of how to provide TRANSLATIONS of the bank statements of the last 3-6 months. It basically consists of numbers only and is like 20 pages long, so it would take forever to translate that. It’s an actual German bank so no wise or revolut account. Does anyone have an idea for that? Thanks in advance

Good day, I got several questions about DTV (soft power). Do assist me if possible.

1) I understand that DTV last 5 years. I’m interested to enrol in Muay Thai lessons. It’s a 9 months course. After 9 months, am I supposed to enrol for another lessons or by registering for 9 months course, I can stay Thailand for 5 years provided I leave the country every 180 days?

2) For the 500,000 baht requirement, is it 3 months or 6 months in bank account? Will my spouse need another 500,000 baht or she can tap on my 500,000 baht account?

3) Are all embassies the same in terms of requirements and approval rates? If not, any particular country you can recommend me to apply?

4) Do wI have to maintain 500,000 baht throughout the 5 years DTV?

Sincere apologies if my post is too long. Any answers will be greatly appreciated.

Request for Advice on Thailand DTV Visa Reapplication

Hello,

I am currently applying for a Thailand DTV (Remote Work) visa in Ho Chi Minh City. It has been about two weeks. During the application process, the authorities requested additional documents twice. I submitted all the required documents as requested, but my visa was still rejected.

I am a foreigner, but I have a company and long-term residence status in Vietnam, so all my documents are genuine and valid. However, the rejection did not include a specific reason, so I am unsure what caused it.

I suspect the only possible issue might be with my financial documents in the final submission. Since there were many documents, I submitted:

* a 6-month bank statement from the account used to pay my company’s social insurance, and

* a balance certificate from another bank (I only submitted the balance confirmation without the transaction history).

I also did not include any explanation letter. Could this be the reason for the rejection?

I would like to ask if you have encountered a similar case, and I would greatly appreciate any explanation or advice so I can better prepare for my next application.

Thank you very much for your guidance! 🙏
