I did not call to ask - they usually never answer the phone anyways. The application is very very straightforward , and you can pause and can come back to it anytime before submitting. Not worth the trip to Vancouver I’d say as I’m sure they want you to apply online anyways!?

I applied at the Vancouver consulate and got it approved within 2 days.

Submitted proof of funds, a contract I have with one of my clients and a cover letter explaining what I do for work.

@Alexander ***

yes - it is asked for it the dependent visa too 😬

The consulate in Vancouver Canada asks for proof of funds for dependents….I guess some do - some don’t. You could go through the application and see if the one you are applying through does.

Yep, they sure can lol :)

I just got my DTV approved yesterday and now doing my husband as dependent and they are asking for proof of 500,000 on his application too. This is in Vancouver, Canada. 😉

@Todd ********

I agree - and I am pumped about it!! Changing my plan and going for the DTV - submitting application in the next couple of days!!

@Todd ********

I've done a few gutsy moves in my life and all of them have paid off and made life better - and I am here for it 🙂 Arriving in Ao Nang on Nov 13 🥳🥳👊Looking forward to meeting you! Cheers 🥂

@Todd ********

love this for you!!! Just fantastic! We bought unseen lol as we were not in Thailand at the time - so that was crazy, but absolutely no regrets and it all worked out perfectly. Next time you come to Ao Nang, maybe we can have a drink together 🙂

@Todd ********

I agree with all your points lol... The island has been good to us tho and it was lovely to raise our children here - but it's time to move on. The island is too small and Canada is too big. I am originally from Germany and met my Canadian husband in 1996 in Railey Bay, Krabi and moved with him to Canada in 1998. The time has finally come and we can move back to Thailand and not just visit 5 weeks/year. We bought a 2 bed 2 bath pool villa in Ao Nang, Krabi during covid and it's literally a dream come true. Where abouts are you in Thailand? Now with all that being said lol - thank you about the info about Mexico!! I will definitely check it out - it peaked my interest now lol. My earnings are quite good at the moment, so I'd be interested to see what's required :)
