it's really likely that your visa gets denied. Do you pay taxes and can you prove that? Have that 500k been sitting in the bank for more than months?

@Brian ********

of course I'm gonna tell you are wrong. Some folks got crypto accepted as 500k proof while most of the folks got a no no. Some folks got a dtv with a single appointment at the hospital while other got denied. Some folks are required to show their employment for soft powers while most of the embassies are not. Some folks got their visa denied in certain country but then accepted few days later in a different one while showing exactly the same documents. Emails are free, my advice is to double check with the embassy especially if you mind losing 300+ us$. Anyways, your life, your money. Do whatever the F u want, that was my advice but u are free to do your own way. Peace

@Claire ******

People here can claim whatever they want, the point is that right before you apply for the visa they will force you to accept the fact that the visa isn't refundable in any ways, even if the embassy does a mistake. The embassy I'm going to apply (dtv soft powers) to doesn't mention anything besides of a legit muay thai/medical reason on their website but once you apply they will ask you to prove you got a job and to provide the documentation for the company you are working for (even for soft powers!!!) . TBH they have mentioned that when I mailed them but if I know a folk who got the visa denied for that reason (he couldn't get the documentation cuz he was unemployed but with 100k us$ in the bank) and when he mailed the embassy pointing out that wasn't on their website they replied with a "You accepted when we claimed the visa is not refundable for ANY REASON IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCE".

Anonymous participant 888 I don't know about vietnam but a lot of embassies will just reply you to mail them instead of going there in person.

I wouldn't trust what you can read for a forum. I read cases here where people have their DTV (as dependant) just after showing 500k per person. Best advice? Just mail the embassy in the UK and ask them what their requirements are, the truth is that every embassy does its own way and what is accepted somewhere else might now be a valid option there

Anonymous participant if your visa got cancelled due wrong information then you can apply without worries at the same embassy. Make sure to mail them first and ask them to explain what was wrong with your application so that you don't give them with another 300$

it's absurd on how thailand is trying to milk out tourist in any possible way. I remember that back 20yrs ago people could just get a 3 entry tourist visa for 70us$. That was 9 months of staying. Then it was possible to go pretty much anywhere and get another 3 entry visa and keep going on. But let's keep blaming on tourists. Same as what is happening in phuket, they are destroying the island for $$$ but instead of saying no, they get the money from foreigners and then blame on them for destroying the island....

well, if you have multiple apartments and money deposited in thailand that could be possible, especially if there's a thai co-signing with you. In all the other cases it's a no no

Anonymous participant which embassy are you applying at?

Anonymous participant I recommend you to mail the embassy, I have the screenshot from the embassy my friend applied which clearly states 'according to your passport, your name should Mei-Ying (with the -, no spaces in between names) and your family name should be Lin. Contact the embassy, my friend lost over 10k for such a mistake and even tho other embassies worldwide stated differently they claimed to do that way (besides of pointing out that the application CANNOT BE REFUND UNDER ANY CIRCOSTANCE).
