If your paperwok is ok they dont usually call you for an interview. Saigon on the other hand is like 50 % chance they will set up one. What option did you use for the DTV and what documents were submitted and we can take it from there

@James *******

on point . I even have seen experts on this site providing info that they know is not current. Than you see other accounts posting they can help. YOU DONT NEED NO AGENTS FOR THIS VISA IF YOU CAN READ WHAT OTHERS HAVE ENCOUNTER HERE. You should be fine 🙏

Yes brother 🙏

@Andi **********

just hit Hanoi and you will get all the stories of recent rejections . This just happened this week alone

@Andi **********

i have data that suggest otherwise . 5 people were recently rejected at HANOI and i suspect was due to either big recent deposits in their bank statements or just the money not been seasonal enough. All of them passed their initial document check mark so i doubt there were any errors in those applications. If people dont have the funds they should get an sponsor who does and get that paper notarized. The embassy could care less who has the money as long as it is coming from outside thailand and the applicant verbatim specifies they will not be seeking local employment 🙏

Try soft power and get an sponsor that has seasonal money in their accounts for 6 months. Try not to have BIG DEPOSITS or they will ask you why is that deposit there and look for justification as they will suspect you borrow this money for the visa. All they care is that your sponsor can support yourself and that money for this will come from outside Thailand. The embassy that you apply to also plays a significant factor in the amount of paperwork they will be requesting . If you are in thailand go to vietnam and choose hanoi. Tickets are cheap and also housing is affordable. Check for an school that is registered with the goverment and before you apply go to the embassy to verify if the school shows in their records . Good luck 🙏

@John ******

i think it depends first the embassy you apply to, and than the documents you provide to them. I was just approved for my DTv as a business owner in 3 days at Hanoi 🙏

Anonymous participant could be i put for mine and for my wife application 5 continous days. I applied on the 2nd but the embassy was closed so my application was actually processed on the 3rd and the approval happened on the 8th ( last sunday). For my wife she applied yesterday and we put also the 15th. I really dont think they will prioritize your visa approval if you put a closer day of arrival but the adjudications are done in batches so a bunch of people are approved around the same time. I think if everything is fine with your docs they would have no problem extending you that courtesy. Some guys got their visa on the same day with me on the 8th and they had a applied 2-5 days before me.

Seasonal money… if you dont have it dont make big deposits . Get a sponsor instead they dont care where the money comes as long as its coming SPREAD OUT IN 6 MONTHS FROM OUTSIDE OF THAILAND. Dont complicate yourself 🙏

Anonymous participant please check my post it will help. My wife just applied today at hanoi for dependant dtv so we will be looking for answers too. Wish you the best. Feel free to ask me any questions 🙏
