Hi all, I have 2 questions about the additional documents requested by the Fukuoka embassy for DTV today. If anyone knows anything or has experienced the same thing, please let me know.

1. A bank statement showing transactions for the past three months.

Can this be just screenshots of the bank transaction history and a translated version? I submitted a bank statement provided by the bank, but it has no transaction history shown. I already asked my bank to send me the version that shows the transaction history, but it takes 7 days according to the bank.

2. Accommodation booking document

I have a partner there in Thailand so I wrote the name & address of the condo that my partner is renting. So it is not under my name. I am wondering if I should just attach the condo contract and my partner's ID photo while telling that she is my partner etc, or ask the condo owner to put my name in the contract which might take time, or book another hotel or something for a few weeks with a letter saying I changed the accommodation.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Hello

Does anyone know if a standard bank statement (in German) from Revolut is sufficient for the soft action dtv, or do I need a letter from the bank confirming my account balance?

If so does someone know how to get this from revolut?

*I will apply for the dtv from Vietnam.

Thank you 🙏🏼

Has anyone been able to use a Schwab or brokerage account for proof of funds? Fidelity etc NoN retirement?

Hey, I have a question about the financial proof of 500,000 THB required for the DTV visa application.

Is it possible to use a bank statement from Revolut for this, and do the Pockets count as part of the total balance?

I use Pockets a lot to separate my funds, so not all of the money is always in the main account. On the Revolut statement, there’s a balance summary at the top showing “Account (current account)”, “Personal and Group Pockets”, and then the “Total”.

The full statement shows all current account transactions first and then lists the Personal & Group Pockets separately.

Has anyone had experience using a Revolut statement like this for the DTV visa proof of funds?

Hello, How long in advance do I need to apply for a deposit certificate/bank statement if I want to apply for DTV? Thank you for your reply:)

I am currently in chumphon on a normal 30 day we entry visa...wanting to apply for a retirement visa....I have 6 months bank statements for proof of incoming pensions...I know I must get health insurance and an apartment...do you suggest a visa agent to help or should I just get a 30 day extension and keep on...how long is the process once applied for.

Hello I made a request for a bank statement online on my kasikorn app, they sent me my statement by email, however to open the PDF I have to enter the password which is my complete date of birth in numbers. When I make the request do I have to send the PDF or are PNG screenshots accepted? I plan to apply in Hanoi. Thx

FOR SYDNEY ONLY

Hi everyone,

Has anyone here applied for the DTV visa through the Thai Consulate in Sydney and had success when the 500,000 THB wasn’t sitting in their account for the full 3 months?

I do have a 3-month bank statement with the required funds, but the money hasn’t been there for 3 months straight. When I was enquiring to the people who were sorting out my Soft Power course, they mentioned it was recommended to hold it for 3 months but not a strict requirement.

Just wondering if anyone has been approved in the same situation. Appreciate any advice from people who’ve gone through it in Sydney!

Hello, I would like to know about the bank statement. Does it need to be signed and stamped by the bank? Thank you.

Approved in one day by the London embassy.

Applied Friday late afternoon.

Additional documents requested.

Sent those half an hour later.

Approval email came through Tuesday evening.

Long and short of it: Applied for the workacation category. Had the 500k thb spread across different accounts so sent bank statements from the past few months for current, biz and ISA. Sent a random selection of invoices from the past few years to show business viability. Wrote a quick letter saying I authorise myself to work remotely. Sent first page of incorporation documents and tax doc (just a letter saying it’s time to file). Sent drivers license and internet bill with address.

Additional documents requested were a formal letter addressed to the embassy introducing myself and my work, and stating I won’t be concerned with Thai laws or work with Thai clients. Also requested full company incorporation documents stating my name and position.

Prepared a formal letter and downloaded my incorporation documents direct from the public register. There was the option to order a certified copy of these but I just downloaded the pdf and sent that.

Approved.
