Unfortunately like some others have mentioned, Thai embassy in Malaysia is particularly stringent on requirements.

I would give it a last shot to attach any official communication with bank representatives mentioning this, followed by attaching a cover letter to the embassy explaining your situation in detail. Tie your explanation back to your original intention of wanting to stay in Thailand (i.e. because you have deep interest in the culture, plan to make this your home in the future, etc).

Hey Mubarak, sorry to hear about your husband's rejection. It must be frustrating dealing with a rejection especially when it's required to be applied from a foreign country.

From what you've shared, the issue from your case is very likely due to the banking document you provided. I saw your reply that you had created your own bank document (as well as provided only 1 month instead of the requested 3 months) from a business account.

From our experience, generally only savings and current account in your personal name are accepted. The embassies are also particular strict regarding the financial requirement of THB500,000. Your husband may just download a bank statement from his banking app but do note that business accounts will not be accepted.

Regarding re-submission, it is not advisable to apply at the same embassy. We have had multiple cases where our students got their approval after the 2nd application in another country.

Happy to share that we've successfully assisted over 250 applicants get their DTV through our cooking programs! So we are quite familiar with the process, feel free to reach out if you have anymore questions.

From our experience, you'll need to show THB 500,000 for yourself as well as for your child (total THB 1,000,000)

As some others have commented that they were successful using the same bank.. you may want to clarify with the embassy just to be sure!

Lastly regarding the duration of funds that needs to be kept in your account, my understanding is that UK is one of the countries that accept bank balance as a source of proof (i.e. they do not require funds to be kept for a certain period)

From our experience under Thai Soft Power category, the embassies seldom accept cultural activities except for Thai Boxing classes or Cooking Classes.

Additionally, the seminar or activity should not be online. It should be physical classes. Regarding the different embassies, there are not much differences between embassies in Vietnam. Other popular countries people choose to apply the DTV visa from are Indonesia, Philippines and Laos.

Generally the purpose of the interview for in Laos is to filter out applicants who might be abusing the visa , either to look for employment in Thailand or for other grey activities.

They'll ask how you spend your time in Thailand and how you support yourself. Overall the explanation should make sense to them. From our experience, the interview process has been an advantage for our students that apply from Laos as it gives them the chance to explain their case.

Just jumping in here to add to what some others have shared , if you’re interested in taking cooking courses to get your visa, you can also apply under the DTV (Destination Thailand Visa)Thai Soft Power category. Its a 5 year multiple-entry visa, compared to 1 year with ED visa. Application needs to be done from outside of Thailand and takes approximately 2 weeks (depending on the country). Do take note there is also a financial minimum requirement of THB500,000 held in your bank for over 3 months for the DTV Visa.

Yes, you could apply for your husband as your dependant visa afterward. For this case, you need to provide another 500,000 THB financial proof to the embassy

From our experinces, most of the countries requires at least 3 months, still we have seen that the Phillipines and the UK still accept the money in the account for around 1 month. However, we still strongly recommend you to have the money for at least 3 months as this will help stengthening your visa application a lot

The embassy require above 500,000 THB for each applicant, so you may need to show 1,000,000 - 1,500,000 THB for all the family members

The normal visa process at the embassy may take 2-3 weeks, though we have seen one have received the visa in 7 days.

Still please noted that this will depend on how strength your application is eg. your financial status of 500,000 THB.
