Hi Guys can you recommend what is the best way to proof my current location if I am at home ? Utility bill is enough ? or ? I set up company on 15.10.2025 I have enough funds but must by over 3 month on Acc? thanks

My DTV was approved! 🎉

Thanks to this group, I got a lot of useful information. I’d also like to share my experience here in case it helps others.

Embassy: Hanoi

Visa type: Workation

Nationality: China

Timeline

* Dec 9 – Applied

* Dec 10 – Asked for additional documents (bank statement & more proof of income)

* Dec 13 – Submitted required documents

* Dec 22 – Application approved

My biggest lesson

I did not keep the 500,000 THB in my account for 3 months. I transferred the money at the beginning of December(which I do not recommend). It’s safer to keep the funds in your account for at least 3 months.

If you’re preparing to apply, I suggest reading more posts in this group to understand the requirements better.

But I spent a lot of time organizing my portfolio and bank documents to make sure everything was logical and clear to read, and I also demonstrated a stable source of income, maybe that helped😅

Documents I submitted

Bank statement section

1. Cover letter briefly explaining what documents were included

2. Bank statement showing 500,000 THB (last 6 months)

3. Income bank account statement (last 6 months)

4. One-year fixed deposit of 500,000 THB to compensate for the short holding period

Portfolio

1. Brief self-introduction (what I do and where my income comes from)

2. Proof of financial stability:

* Monthly income records (last 6 months)

* Professional profile page

* Income platform backend statistics

3. Statement of intent

Tools I used to prepare the documents

* ChatGPT & Gemini – to structure documents

* DeepL – to translate documents into English (free trial works well)

* iLovePDF & PDFgear – to compress and edit PDF files

Hope this helps, and good luck to everyone applying! 🫶

Hi is there a form I can download and fill out before I go to immigration

I have a 90 No visa and want to extend it to 1 year retirement visa

Quick question: I’m a UK citizen on a remote working contract, I have all of the required documents to apply for a DTV Workation visa, but I’ve only had the required money in my bank account for about 1 month. I’ve seen comments from people saying it should be three months, but I’ve not been able to locate any official information regarding this. I’m wondering if anyone from the UK has successfully obtained a DTV visa recently by showing less than 3 months bank statements?

Hello, im planning to apply for a dtv visa in delhi and am being sponsored by my father for the same

I will attach his 6 month bank statement, 3 ITR, sponsorship letter and other documents for the same with all my documents and a invitation from the gym im going to for the soft power activities.

Is that enough and do i still require a employment contract if im sponsored and have a gym invitation.

(Hanoi) Would it be ok to turn in a bank statement (6 months) with TODAY's DATE even though applying and entering the country not before tomorrow?

Kust would like to prepare everything today if possible.

Hey everyone,

I’m flying to Hanoi next week to apply for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) – workation route.

Here’s my situation with the bank statement (the famous 500k THB for 3+ months rule):

• I run a fully online e-commerce business registered in my home country.

• I am the sole owner and only person with access/signatory.

• The company bank account is under my full legal name + “Company Ltd” (or LLC, whatever the equivalent is) at the end.

• This account has had well above 500k THB (actually way more) sitting there for over 3 months, and the turnover in the last 6–8 months is in the multiple millions of baht (lots of incoming and outgoing payments from platforms, suppliers, ads, etc.).

• I use this company account for pretty much everything tax-wise: rent, internet, food, transportation, travel – all legally declared as business expenses in my country because the business is 100% online/location-independent.

I do have a personal account, but it has basically zero history and almost no money in it right now.

My question to people who already went through the DTV process (especially in Hanoi or other “strict” embassies):

1. Have you successfully used a company bank account that has your personal name + “Ltd/LLC/Co. Ltd” at the end? Did they accept it without any drama?

2. Or would you play it safe and transfer the money to a clean personal account now (even if that personal account will only have the money + transfer for a couple of weeks before I print the statement)?

I know some people say “only personal account” but I’ve also seen recent reports of company accounts being accepted as long as your name is clearly on it and you can prove you’re the sole owner.

What would you do in my shoes? Leave it in the very solid company account (tons of history, huge turnover, balance never dropped below the requirement) or rush a transfer to personal and lose most of the transaction history?

Appreciate any recent experiences – especially Hanoi consulate!

Thanks

In terms of the bank statement, it's just a paper with the overall balance or must include your transactions in the past months ? Thanks

I am back in the UK applying from London embassy.

I live and work in Spain in the summer, but permanent address is the UK.

I uploaded my Spanish bank statements in English.

Anyone have any idea what I can do for the requested documents about the bank?

I’m also not able to go to the bank as it’s in Spain

Hello everyone, I would like to ask: the embassy requires a 6-month bank statement and a balance of 500,000 baht — does this mean the balance must be over 500,000 baht every day during those 6 months?
