I applied for DTV visa via soft skills (Muay Thai school) but accidently put freelance as the occupation as i plan to teach english tuition in the future. I should have put as student.

They are now asking for documents I cant provide.

I even submitted a document explaining the situation but they just asked for the same documents again.

Should I re-submit and pay for another application or wait for rejection before applying.

My worry is that they wont see other applications from same person if there is already one pending.

Kindly seeking some advice!

So.. first time they asked for 3 month bank statement, employment certificate, and resume. I submitted all of those with an cover letter explaining all the docs.

Now second time, they ask for 3 month bank statement again? Any idea what to do? I submitted statements from the past 3 months and a Balance statement from a few days ago of over 15k… do I submit the same thing again?

For booking record, do I send a hotel booking record of a future stay in thailand? Or in the country I applied in?

For the certificate of income issued by national tax service, do you think 2023 tax return for IRS is okay? I started a new company and got seed investment mid 2024 so this seems pretty tricky.

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone, I’m planning to apply for the e-Visa from Spain and I have a couple of questions:

1. To prove financial stability, is it valid to provide a screenshot of my bank account and the last two payments?

2. To demonstrate that I’m currently in Spain, would showing the last stamp in my passport from when I left Thailand be enough? Or what would be the correct way to prove it?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Hello, everyone!

Did any of you already re-entered with DTV visa? I spent 170 days in Thailand already and I am thinking about visiting Vietnam for a week and coming back. Will there be issue? Do the immigration officers asking for any additional document on re-entering?

Thank you so much!

I want to cross the border into Myanmar in Ranong in January for the border run. Has anyone been there recently and did everything go smoothly?

Question about e-visas (DTV if it matters).

Suppose I fly to HCMC and apply for DTV using the HCMC embassy. I submit documentation that I'm in HCMC, such as hotel bookings.

While waiting for the application to be approved, I fly to Hanoi, which is under the jurisdiction of a different embassy, but still within the country of Vietnam.

Is that allowed?

I need to be out of my rental here in the US by the end of the month and I’m not sure if I will get approved by then. Does anyone know if it is OK to fly to Thailand and arrive on a tourist visa, then exit the country and re-enter to activate my DTV Visa upon reentry? I was able to do this when I traveled to Indonesia with no issues. If its a risk to enter now i will book a flight to Laos or PH. Until i know if i am approved.

If you’re not sure, and just like to hear your own voice, please refrain from making pointless comments about it. (you know who you are) lol.

Yes i know i should have gotten the application submitted sooner. It took longer to complete because of reasons i dont need to explain here.
