they want to see your PERSONAL bank account and they want to be sure the money has been sitting there for a few months. Your house won't work. Bitcoin won't work. Shares/stocks won't work. They want to see cash and they want to see you've gotten that cash for awhile.

you can apply for the dtv first and then your kids as dependant. Don't forget that a lot of embassies will require the money to be seasoned in your personal bank account for over 3 months, some embassies will also require your kids to show 500k each

Well, if you don't write anything about your application/case then I highly doubt you would get any sort of help here

it's not about me, I personally know a couple of guys who applied there and they also got a similar situation and had that sort of interrogation. One got denied because the gym couldn't provide a document from the ministry of sport. I got my visa applied there but it was extremely stressful (and let not mention that they asked me to show a work contract with my local company during the time I was supposed to be in thailand. I was like "hey, how can I work for an oversea company if the visa clearly states that employment is forbidden?" and they replied me "you need a job if you want to get your dtv and live there". Finally I got accepted after showing all of my passive incomes and a letter from my parents stating they will support me if I run out of cash while I am in thailand. I repeat, the only positive thing about taipei is that they tend to be fast when it comes to check the documents (but not fast when it comes to the interview, mine was set 2 weeks ahead from the time I sent my application)

I applied for soft powers and my interview felt like having a cop in front of me asking me as many questions as possible to make me confused. I still got asked for my job contract, the registration document of the company I work for, all the payslips going to my bank account, the documents that should be taken at the taiwanese immigration agency. We know that they were "sort of nice" to you but like u said, there were plenty of folks who got their visa denied when u went to pick it up and since they have moved online they are way more strict than the time they accepted walk ins. I've done that lately and I HIGHLY recommend to AVOID taipei. There are a gyms on this page pointing out that they DON'T ACCEPT clients who want to apply in taipei because they are EXTREMELY picky and annoying. It's right to point out that u had a good experience but things have changed this year

I wrote a post about it, DON'T go to taiwan. The embassy itself is really fast, there are people who got their visa within a couple of days but that's the only good news. They are EXTREMELY picky when it comes to documents. If you want to apply for soft powers you MUST send them the proof of your work, the company you work with and they wanna see the payslips on your bank account even you don't apply for work. They also tend to make a lot of interviews (mine was set 10 days after the mail was sent) and their interview sounds more like about going to jail instead of getting a visa. Taipei, Tokyo and Kuala Lumpur are embassies TO AVOID.

Dental was fine last year but lately there have been a lot of issues with that. If you can prove you have already been using thai dentists and that you need a long term treatment that could still work. If you just apply with something like u mentioned above, it's really likely that your application will get rejected cuz it won't take over 6 months to do that. You can likely do that treatment visa exempt or with a METV

some people are just bored so they will post bs to get attention and replies. "I was at the airport and I saw 80% of guys from middle east countries having their dtv visa and get a lot of questions about their visa." "I got my bank account in 2 minutes with a dtv visa and a BJ from the bank clerk. I can't tell with branch cuz too many people will go there"

that's in phuket

flying to another country just to have an interview really sucks, I don't understand why they can't just move it online
