Got rejected in Hanoi for soft power after few days of applying while providing all the documents below:

● Passport photo page – A clear image of the first page of your passport (no fingers visible, good lighting, no cropped edges).

● Portrait photo – A recent photo of yourself against a white background, facing the camera directly (good lighting, no cropped edges).

● Bank statement – A personal bank statement showing the last 3 months of transactions, with a final balance of at least 500,000 THB.

● Invitation letter from the Muay Thai gym.

● Proof of residence in the country of application – A hotel booking for at least one week.

● Visa – E-visa, visa, and/or entry stamp (depending on your case).

● Current address in your home country.

● Active phone number.

● Thai phone number (if available).

● Address in Thailand, including your landlord’s phone number.

In addition to the above I was using an agency that has good reputation that was helping with gathering and submitting all the required info and documents. This was a very odd experience as my partner’s application was submitted a day before mine and hers is still under pending approval.

Just sharing.

If the date in the invitation letter from the Muay Thai gym is one month from the date of applying for DTV, but the DTV is granted with a week or 2, do I have to wait until that month is up or can I go back sooner?

The course is for 6 months

Approved in Jakarta
