I feel like I’ve seen the answer but I just want to make sure - I am applying in Hanoi and want to make sure I am correct about the bank statements. I will have the balance of over 500k in one bank account for one month ending balance. I have an other account that I receive my payments from work but the ending balance is way lower. Can I show two bank accounts? Will this be okay? Also would I have to keep the 500k in that bank while I’m applying?

Hi! Has anyone successfully applied for the DTV visa as a freelancer or business owner from Jakarta, Indonesia? I’m curious about the financial requirements.. how many months of bank statements do they ask for?

It’d be great if you could share what documents you submitted. Thanks so much for your help!

Can you submit bank statements from a joint account with your name on it or does it have to be your own separate account? Applying for DTV under soft power.

I currently hold a DTV visa, and my stamp is valid until the 19th of January. I’ve already been in Thailand for almost six months.

A couple of days ago, I visited Immigration Division 1. I had received an email from them with a list of documents I needed to submit, and I ensured I had everything prepared. However, upon speaking with them, it turned out that my paperwork wasn’t sufficient. I had submitted proof of 500,000 baht across various bank accounts, but the superintendent also required a screenshot of... producing the statement. Additionally, they asked for a letter explaining my work and income since my arrival, as well as my future plans.

As they explained, I was the first person with a DTV visa to request an extension, and it seemed they were still trying to figure out the process themselves.

Today, I returned with the additional documents they requested, but it still wasn’t enough. Now, they are asking for bank statements for each account covering the last 30 days, and they plan to use the lowest balance in each statement to calculate the total sum of 500,000 baht.

On top of that, I was informed that I should have reported to “Counter A” after staying in Thailand for 90 days. And Because I didn’t, there’s now a fine of 2,000 baht. Stupid of me, but I didn’t happen to hear about this requirement.

The staff mentioned they are waiting for further instructions by Friday and I would need to check back with them by that day.

However, I’m starting to feel concerned. What if I submit everything again and it still isn’t enough? So now, I’m considering doing a border run, possibly tomorrow. From what I’ve been told, re-entering the country would automatically grant me another 180 days, avoiding all the complications with the extension process.

The officer I dealt with was polite and genuinely seemed to want to help, but it was clear they were uncertain about the requirements themselves and therefore they were being cautious and kind of… creative.

I thought I’d share my experience here, as it might be helpful to others in a similar situation.

If anyone has advice about the border run, I’d appreciate it. I’m about to look now into the cheapest destinations for a quick trip. I’m thinking of even staying for two nights wherever I go and maybe make something nice out of this experience.

Any recommendations or insights would be greatly appreciated!

Hey. Anybody have or applied for DTV as a Hungarian/in Hungary? I just got employed for a remote work and curious how long i should be employed to apply? Maybe they ask the amount of salary too? Also applying outside of Hungary would be difficult due to our banks doesn’t provide downloadable bank statements(in English), am i wrong?

Thanks

Hi, im applying at HCMC and had financial documents requested twice. im a uk passport holder and have supplied evidence of an account with well over double the requested amount. anyone had this? please help

Question about 500k requirement.

Does the THB 500 balance have to be in the account each month for 3-6 month or is just ending balance ok?

I now have the required money in the account and don't want to wait 3-6 months.

I'm m looking to apply either in Cambodia or Vietnam.

Thank you.

Hello all, my girlfriend who is from Indonesia is planning on applying for the DTV (using soft power for cooking classes) in Jakarta and she is not employed. I support her and pay for everything for us but am wondering if that will be a problem in getting approved if she is unemployed? I do plan on making the deposit of $15,000 into her account (and plan to be added/named on her account as well) and also wonder if we should wait three months before applying or if she could get approved with just one or two months of statements.

I have a few questions about the proof of savings of 500k for the DTV visa.

Some seem to provide 3 months of bank statements & some 6. How many months are actually officially required?

If your savings are held in different accounts and you transfer them into the same account, how long do you have to show the full 500k in that account for them to accept it?

Another option of financial proof seems to be payslips. If you own a business and invoice clients weekly, would that be acceptable?

Do they accept proof of a certain monthly income rather than 500k savings?

Or weekly income paid by clients into a personal bank account?

Thanks
