Anonymous participant Did you highlight the payments from the company to yourself . They should match your yearly salary and what is reflected on your last 6 paystubs
yeah man it all depends how you can justify the entries into thailand. DTV is a tourist visa after all . Just a little more flexible with how long you stay etc π
BeachDude the fact that i worked as an intern at an embassy travel for a living and have a brother that works in us customs and just common sense really. I also have seen the abuse some people have done to the system that i dont see this visa staying longer at list in its current form. Its not sustainable. All other visas are been screwed proviledge business etc. why would someone apply for those just why? I have seen countless of people do the math and move into this one so sooner or later someone in the goverment is going to see the trend and make the adjustments. Mark my words and save this message the thai always figure it out if you give them time. To be in βstatusβ as per the visa terms you have to be enrolled at a school if you use the soft route . This is how you got your visa and everytime you enter the country the officer is supposed to check your status. This visa is so new and open to misuse fraud etc that with sometime they will learn there are just too many people that have gotten this visa that should not have. At that point all they have to do is build an interphase where you have to upload your classes every couple of months. Than they will make this schools confirm that you are paying and thus qualify for the visa. Like in covid times they had a list of hotels sha or someting like that. As for the business owners they can require you to resubmit financial statements etc. The DTV is a tourist visa after alll hope this helps π
Thank you it is about time that people understand YOU ONLY HAVE ONE SHOT. Send your best one or dont cry over a rejection later. 6 months of bank statements its what i have seen with most recent approvals. Congratulations on your visa enjoy thailand π
Anonymous participant for the bank statements they want to see the pay slips for the last 6 months. If you have a business you should always separate the financials from your own. In my case i have a business bank account that pays me every month. This i do for taxes in the us as i can do a lot more deductions and this is the structure my accountant recomends. HIGHLIGHT THE PAYMENTS MAKE IT EASY FOR THEM to find what they are looking for. Your pay slips should match the deposits coming from your business account to your personal account. If you are lost with all this info. Than take the soft route find a school and get a sponsor. Business owners have a hard time with the financials . Once you are approved thats it they could not care less about you. In the soft option i anticipate ALOT MORE REQUIREMENTS TO β CONTINUE IN STATUSβ as most people just stop attending school and keep the visa and can potencially stay in thailand for 5 years OUT OF STATUS from an immigration standpoint. There is not nice way to get this visa you either will suffer on the approval phase or mark my words they will make sure you are β IN STATUSβ spending the money at schools in the future. Hope this helps π
Anonymous participant this is the letter i did to myself. Again this is my own business so your story may vary in this sense. Be professional a company is supposed to have a seal etc. dont just sent a letter to satisfy the requirement. In asia they really care about this small things
Anonymous participant 476 you should have 500k liquid at the end of the last statement cycle. Dont listen to the gurus here tell you otherwise. Dont make stories stay simple . You either can support yourself or someone must sponsor you to satisfy the financial requirement. If you go the gym classes route it would make sense to have a sponsor . If you are a business owner YOU ARE EXPECTED TO HAVE A PROFITABLE BUSINESS that can sponsor your application. THEY WANT THE APPLICANT TO HAVE FINANCIALS TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THEMSELVES FOR 5 LONG YEARS. The abuse that happened there before is currently irrelevant they want continous flow of money if you give me more details i could help you fix the problem. From what i can read from your story they had doubts about your financials and thus the rejection π
