Approved in Hanoi today, DTV soft power 🎉🎉

Hi guys,

Just got my visa approved today! I wanted to say thanks for all the tips I got from this group, so I'm gonna share my experience in return, might help someone in a similar situation.

My case was a bit different from most I’ve seen here. I worked in a Thai company for almost a year under a Non-B visa and BOI work permit. I resigned last month because I got a better position in the US (software dev full remote).

At first, I wanted to go for the DTV workation, but I couldn’t provide proof of income from my new company since I haven’t started yet. So I decided to try the Muay Thai soft power visa instead, since they don’t ask for income proof, at least not in Vietnam.

I quit my previous job a month ago and cancelled my Non-B visa. Right after that, I booked a flight to Ho Chi Minh City BUT I applied in Hanoi because I read too many bad stories about the HCMC consulate, didn’t wanna try it.

Here’s what I uploaded—3 PDF documents:

1. Financial info:

* Bank statement from my Thai account (K-Bank) for the past 3 months – ending balance: 240k THB

* Bank statement from my French account (BoursoBank) – ending balance: 12k EUR (~450k THB)

* Fund certificate from my French bank including all my accounts (~24k EUR or ~950k THB)

* A doc I wrote explaining all the numbers, conversions, etc.

2. Muay Thai docs:

* My club provided everything, I didn’t check all the docs. Super professional. The owner said he’s sponsored over 100 visas without a single rejection. Highly recommend Phuket Muay Thai in Rawai.

3. Proof of location:

* Stamp on arrival

* Airbnb reservation + receipt (5 days)

* A letter to the embassy explaining my situation, why I want this visa, how I’ve always respected this country and their rules after 3 visas, etc.

* Resignation letter signed by my old employer

* Letter from the BOI office confirming my Non-B visa is no longer valid

Timeline:

* Arrived & applied: 1st of July

* Status: Pending approval on 2nd of July

* Approved: Today, 8th of July

I was super impatient and a bit stressed because I saw people getting approved in 3 days at the same embassy. In the end, it worked out, my guess is that it took a bit longer because my case was a bit unusual.

Final advice: double-check your docs if everything is ok at the begining its gonna go fast, and don’t waste too much time checking your status, it’s super stressful and doesn’t help much (yes I sometimes checked more than 5 times in 30 minutes) 😅

Hi I’m British and currently residing in Dubai how many months bank statements do dubai require to get a dtv visa for Muay Thai

I applied for a soft-power visa (DTV visa) with a Muay Thai camp at the Thai embassy in Cambodia, but it was rejected after two and a half weeks — and I don’t know the reason why. My documents should have been exactly as required by the Thai authorities. Now I’m not sure what to do next. Can anyone help or has anyone experienced a similar situation?

The DTV application process is a SCAM.

US Passport

Soft Power Muay Thai

Rejected then approved.

I applied in Hanoi 22 June and was rejected 25 June for Soft Power. No additional documents were requested. I went to the Thai embassy and asked why my application was rejected. The nice, but clueless, lady at the counter looked up my application and said that my "documents did not qualify". She could not specify which documents did not qualify but she encouraged me to apply again. Such BS.

So i applied again on 26 June with the EXACT same documents but this time I highlighted my name, ending balance, and account numbers in my Bank statements and pay slips. Visa was approved 4 business days later on 1 July.

Documents submitted:

Proof of location:

-Boarding pass

-Passport entry stamp

-Hotel booking

Proof of funds:

-Bank balance screenshot day of submission with 1M+ baht

-Bank statements showing over 1M baht (6 months)

-Pay slips (6 months)

Soft Power documents supplied by Muay Thai school

Cross your fingers if you decide to apply at Hanoi. They WILL randomly reject your application and encourage you to pay again. SCAMMERS

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to apply for the DTV (Soft Power – Muay Thai) visa in Hanoi, Vietnam on July 6.

I have a question regarding my bank statement, which is in Chinese.

Do I have to use a Vietnamese translation company to translate it into English,

or is it acceptable to use a certified translation company in China instead?

Has anyone had experience with this situation?

I’d really appreciate your advice. Thank you!

I apply dtv from jakarta with 6 month muay thai tiger eye

applied 23rd morning

still pending document check

Any one knows if after rejection of DTV Muay Thai visa in Jakarta i can apply from Laos immediately?

The embassy now requires the Soft Power center to send a confirmation letter directly to the embassy’s email.

So, if you’re applying for a visa through an agent, make sure you also contact the Muay Thai or cooking school directly to ensure the email is sent.

We believe this is a measure by the embassy to combat photoshopped documents created by some agents who exploit the DTV visa process.

We also expect that the embassy will increasingly require supporting documents to be sent directly to the embassy email from the relevant 3rd party email.

Does it require a cover letter or motivation letter for soft power category (MuayThai)?
