Hi 🙂 can anyone give me some advice?

I’ve been asked for 3 months bank statements (I initially supplied a closing balance only) and my payslips.

I had a large one off payment which contributed to me having the 500,000 baht within the last month. Am I likely to be declined because I haven’t had the required funds in my bank for 3 months? Can I explain this with a letter saying it’s a gift?

Thanks 🙂

Applied for DTV Visa for me and my girlfriend on the 1st December from HCMC Vietnam. Was asked for 6 months of bank statements, proof of work (portfolio) etc. provided all documents and got requested for more, motivation letter and source of funds. Mine has been approved, my girlfriends rejected. Absolutely gutted. She hit all the requirements and we are very unsure as to what possibly could have gone wrong. The whole process was extremely stressful and anxiety inducing and now has completely messed up my future plans for Thailand. Question, we have been in Thailand for 90 days from Feb - May 2025 and then was in England for 3 months. We then got back to Thailand end of August and left for Vietnam at the end of November. What’s our chances of getting a tourist visa approved for my girlfriend (not an exemption) ? This has thrown a complete spanner in the works and the fact that some people have been approved from 1 month of bank statements is genuinely concerning. Why are all the embassies requiring different things? Can’t believe it 😭

Quick one for anyone who’s done the DTV Soft Power.

I’ve got two bank accounts. One where income comes in, another I use for day to day spending, Grab orders, random stuff, etc.

When they ask for bank statements, do they really expect the full 6 months with every single transaction? That’s 50 pages of Grab rides and food orders. Or is a summary or main pages usually enough?

Also, how did you actually submit this as a PDF? One big file with everything, separate PDFs per account, or a short explanation page up front?

Appreciate any insight.

Hi everyone!

I’m applying for a visa and I don’t have enough funds in my personal bank account to meet the financial requirement. My father is willing to support me and sponsor me, but I’m not sure what kind of documents I need to provide to show this.

Does anyone know what I should prepare?

For example:

A sponsorship letter from my father?

Proof of his income or bank statements?

A declaration that he will cover my expenses?

If anyone has experience with this or has gone through something similar, I would really appreciate your advice. Thank you so much!

Hi, I have a DTV but haven't been to Thailand since March 2025. I'm thinking of spending a few months there soon and wondering if I can just show my DTV or do I need show current bank statements etc?

Applying for my wife as a dependent. What are any additional things you guys have included to ensure the visa is approved first time round. I’m the main DTV holder. Thanks so much

I am in the process of my DTV visa application however i am stuck on the funds part.

I have the proof of 500,000thb for 3 months but I do not see how to upload multiple documents. I have the statements saved pdf form.

how do I fix this?

Hi all

Just an update on a dtv app as the info on these forums was very helpful. It is annoying people don’t use the search function almost every question has been asked and answered!

Submitted DTV to London on 18th November

Workcation

App form

Letter from work saying I could work remotely

Portfolio of what I do and cv

Bank statement (was only current transactions) showing 500,000 bht (equivalent) going in the week before.

Cover letter

Company registration

4 days later request for further info

Bank statement showing full name and address (current transactions not ok)

Pay slips

Bank acc showing monthly income for 3 months

I then sent one account showing the 500,000 bht and a second account showing my wages in plus other money coming in.

Also my pay slips showing a healthy wage

I requested interim statements so all bank statements had my name and address

Approved yesterday

In short I wasn’t asked for flights accommodation or for the money to be seasoned.

I do think if you show you can support yourself and will be spending money that is half the battle.

Good luck all

Has anyone submitted multiple bank accounts to add up to 500 K? I could transfer it around, but a bit complicated just wondering if anyone showed multiple accounts

Does *proof of funds* need to be a checking/savings (cash) account, or will they accept a brokerage account? Do funds need to be seasoned?

Most of my emergency fund is in $SWVXX.

Trying to figure out if I need to move cash into checking and eat the lost interest, or if brokerage statements are acceptable.
