Congrats on getting the DTV

KEEP IN MIND people these are the requirements at ONE Thai Embassy (the one in Spain) and have abso-tively, posi-lutely ZERO to do with any DTV application at any other Thai Consulate in the world.

You have to look on the website of the consulate you're applying at for the requirements OR just go by the DTV requirements posted on the eVisa website when you apply

Almost ANY thai consulate in the area would have been better than those in Malaysia 🙁

You're in the process now, so you wait it out and hope for the best

And now you see WHY few if any people are using the three consulates in Malaysia (KL, Penang, or Kota Bharu)

They are SLOW, they are problematic (as in they request the same documents over and over)

Even working with an agency you're totally at the mercy of the consulate staff and have no recourse seeing as everything is thru the online system 😕

You should have researched it better and went to a more "user friendly" consulate in S/E Asia 🙁

Good luck with it

Anonymous participant 964 you're correct and many consulates do not have their specific information posted so it's a crap shoot and a search of the group can give good results sometimes 🙂

the minute you select you're IN Vietnam for example it defaults to the vietnam consulates

Unless you lie and select you're in your country (when you're not) 😕

You upload proof you're in the country whose consulate you're using (visa/entry stamp)

So if you're IN Vietnam you use Hanoi or HCMC

You can't use the thai consulate in your country if you're not IN your country 😕

You don't state what consulate you're applying for your DTV at 😕

AND

The 'seasoning' of the funds is consulate specific, some want it in for 3 months before you apply, some want it in for 1 month before you apply, SOME only want you to show it in the account on the day you apply

@Vin ********

not quite correct,

to get a year extension inside the country at the immigration office based on banked money method you need to have the 800K baht in a thai bank account in your name only for 2 months before you apply for the extension (that part you got correct (y) )

BUT

you also need to keep the 800K baht in the account for THREE months after you get the extension granted (not 1 month like you said 😕 ) and then the balance can't go below 400K baht the rest of the year

@Finn ******

and you applied thru the thai consulate in London?
