I also had this issue when I applied so I went down to my bank and got a Letter of Good Standing and took screenshots of the transaction history for whatever was missing from the most recent statement, and sent it over. Did the trick.

When I applied via DC, it required a plane ticket. I just found a flight, placed a hold on it, got sent the booking reference number, and then put that in the application. A lot of people did it that way.

Banks statement, DC only required one month statement. Not sure if LA is different.

And I can’t confidently say about the 3 month period but I think there is a 90-day rule where you have to enter within 90 days of getting your visa.

:)

I’ve heard mixed answers on this TM30 stuff. Do you HAVE to have one no matter what? I thought you only needed to get one if you need to get something. Like a drivers license or buy a car. Not every time you come back into the country?

We use Google Fi as well. My brother and sister in law who live in Europe also use Google-Fi.

Ours is $35/month + $10 per Gb of data. But we picked the cheapest option as Thai data is extremely cheap so we don’t use Google Fi unless we travel out of Thailand.

Hey! You have to get approved first before any dependents can be approved. Their application requires you to submit your own valid visa in order for them to be approved :)

I think it dependents where you’re applying from. We applied at Washington DC, USA and they told me each dependent doesn’t need their own 500,000bt

I applied from DC and they also only wanted to see the balance. I had my mom loan me some money to meet the requirement as well ❤️

I attached screenshots of my Vimeo page and then on my cover letter also explained that they could find a link to my portfolio in my resume

Anonymous participant 557 We just pay out of pocket. I’m not entirely sure what health insurance is like over here. A friend of mine who has lived here for awhile, told me some hospitals have “plans” where you can pay a certain amount and they give a discount for every visit.

We got the DTV visa and up and moved our entire life over here. It’s been a straightforward and easy process for us.
