I applied to DTV with the Hong Kong Thai Embassy under Workation.

They are requesting additional documents:

* Financial evidence: an amount of no less than 500,000 THB, (e.g., bank statements for the last three months, sponsor letter): [Information without redacted/withheld] ‘latest 3-month’ full bank statement with applicant’s name showing account activity details in English [balance each month not less than 150,000HKD or equivalent]

* Letter issued by employer addressed to the Royal Thai Consulate-General Hong Kong stating status/position of applicant, duration of position details, salary/remuneration and work space detail/condition with authorized person signature, with signatory's ID

It seems they are requesting >500,000 THB for each month (not only the latest month). Month 3 fills this requirement but for month 1 and 2, I can prove with Interactive Brokers but not with a bank account.

Also, for the letter issued by employer, I am the owner of the company and already drafted a work authorization letter. I did not disclose duration of position, or salary or work space details (not sure what that means).

Anyone else went through the same request for additional documents?

Heyyy

Do you know if I can apply for a tourist visa (TR) to Thailand while I'm in Hong Kong? I'm not a Hong Kong resident, I'll be there on a tourist stamp, and I've read that to apply, I need proof of legal stay in HK, meaning at least a visa. Can anyone confirm that I can't apply on a tourist stamp?

Has anyone experienced having their bank account transfered an amount that completes the required 12kUSD less than 3 months before applying? Any issues? (thinking on applying from Vietnam or HK)

Anyone recently applied in HK? What was the timeline ?

Anyone apply dtv from hkg

Hi everyone, does any of you get the DTV from Hongkong Thai embassy?

Canadian passport holder and Hong Kong permanent resident. Interested to apply for DTV in Hong Kong.

Any idea how long this will take? Going the digital nomad route and keen to hear if others have found this process smooth in Hong Kong.

Thanks!

Hello Hong Kong friends, I have a question about applying soft power DTV in Hong Kong. After reading some posts, it looks like Muay Thai is not easy to apply, as they ask for follow up questions.. How about cooking? Better success rate? For those who have done it successfully, can you let me know the school, please? Or DM is also fine. Do they need you to provide an address proof in Hong Kong? Thank you.

For Hong Kong applicants:

Before applying, many people said Hong Kong was difficult to apply to, and even the cooking schools asked me to avoid it.

However, if you're a Hong Kong resident, don't hesitate to apply there. It will just take longer, about a month. There's no need to apply in other countries, as flights and hotels also cost money.

The visa fee for Hong Kong is 3,000 HKD.

Cooking school: 19,000 + B.

That's about 8,000 HKD for a 5-year visa.

Even with Soft Power, the application process in Hong Kong can still be slow. It took me about a month.

Has anyone done a Non O Retirement visa from Hong Kong? Kindly share the details please and how long it took. Thank you.
