DTV UPDATE: London Embassy. Submitted Monday 5:30pm, request for additional documents Wednesday 3:40pm - so around 46 hours

Request was:

* Photograph taken within the last six months.: - Please upload new photo (clear and focus) or use your mobile phone to take a selfie photo in plain white background and close up your head and top of your shoulders. (Your face must be clear and in focus and take up 70-80% of the photo.)

* Other request documents: - Self assessment tax return / Statement of accounts / Accountant's letter / Personal tax calculation or computation statement from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) (Apart form your name, you can conceal any details that you would not want to show.)

So I have taken and uploaded another picture and downloaded my self assessment (submitted earlier this year) from HMRC.

Fingers crossed they are satisfied and I won't need any more additional documents... who knows! I'll keep you updated!

I have FINALLY applied for the DTV visa from London embassy (online ofc!) I will keep you updated with my application and if I get accepted or not 🙏🏼 wish me luck!!! 🇹🇭🙏🏼

I applied on Friday 29th November. I was asked for further documents, one being my e-ticket. So it appears the London Embassy want you to have booked a flight. I fly on 16th December and I am at ‘pending approval’ stage. Feeling a little nervous the DTV won’t come through in time, if approved. Has anyone else applied around the same time and have you been approved?

DTV - London evisa approved - workcation

Relatively easy with the right docs.

Provided:

Letter from employer addressed to the Thai Embassy in London saying I have permission to work in Thailand.

Scan of Drivers license (the card)for proof of address.

Bank statement showing about £13,000 - I asked my bank to send me a statement for just a few days so it did not contain any transactions.

Proof of visa payment

Extra document was requested about 24 hours after the initial application- contract of employment.

After submitting the requested document, the visa was approved on a Sunday 48 hours later.

Only slightly worrying part of the process was that when I first went to pay for the visa, the system sent me some weird error message and I couldn’t pay. To solve the issue , I just completed the forms again and on the 2nd attempt, the payment portal worked.

Are you receiving email notifications for updates on your DTC e-visa applications? I applied online with the London Embassy, and didn’t realise they had asked for additional documentation until I logged into the portal today to check the status. It says details in the email which I never received (not in spam either).

Can anyone advise on the DTV visa for culinary courses. Do they have to be with an approved college? Do they have to have a minimum time on the course? Any help or advice is appreciated! I’m applying through the London Embassy

Applied at the London Embassy for a DTV, Muay Thai course.

Application submitted on Tuesday, approved yesterday.

I had allowed 2 weeks for it, very surprised it was so quick, and very happy to get it.

Thinking about applying through the medical route, appreciate any help.

I need ongoing cardiology/pathology appointments and checkups for a pre-exisiting chronic genetic condition, so this could be a good option for me.

Anyone applied through this route successfully with the London embassy? I'm back in the UK atm.

Thinking about booking future appointment for my condition with a Bangkok hospital and using that, thoughts? Don't want to waste £s with an app that could get rejected. Some people said they presented treatment plans? not sure how that would work if you haven't yet had the initial consultation

Thanks for any help

Hopefully this is helpful to some people. Applied for my DTV yesterday @ 15:30PM UK. Documents -

Bank Statement for proof of funds

Bank Statement for proof of address

Picture uploaded

Passport uploaded

Letter from (my) company confirming I can work remotely.

Information-

Return Flight details (no docs)

Address details of where I will be staying

Approved today & 17:24 so approx 26 hours ☺️

Got DTV in 2 days from London Embassy. On the bus so can’t write a long post. Ask any questions and I’ll answer them when I can
