@Biff ******

it's helpful to get the background information on the application and applicant...as it helps others.

How many months of Muay Thai training did you submit?

Did you submit your first DTV application with the Chicago Consulate?

For workcation or soft power activity?

Why was your first application denied?

Canceled or Denied??

What is your passport nation?

Where are you now?

For what purpose for the DTV visa are you applying for?

Workcation or Soft Power activity?

If soft power activity, which one and where are you going to be living in Thailand to participate in the activity?

How many months of the soft power activity will be submitted with your DTV application?

Are you using a soft power provider which has provided the important documents and successfully helped obtain the DTV visa for their students?

They require a bank account balance of US $ or more on the most recent bank account statement in your name only.

Submit at least 3 recent months with the ending balance of US $.

Be sure to go on the date and time indicated by the Thai Embassy in the email message sent to you.

Are you the American wife and child of the American who just received the DTV visa in Hanoi Vietnam?



"Hi everyone

my husband got approved under DTV

thank you for this group and all the helpful information 😀

we applied in Hanoi on the 8th 8 AM of october

same day they requested more documents: stamp on the passport for being outside of thailand, for the 500k baht we used his dad as sponsor( since we travel alot and we recently purchased a house in another country we did not have it in our checking accounts for the past 3 months and we decided last minute on staying in thailand. they asked for his dad’s bank statement which we got the stamped 3 months of his balance from the bank). and they requested documents showing the relationship with his dad which we provided birth certificate. the status changed to pending approval on the 9th and we just received the approval."

@Rasim *******

all DTV Visas are issued as Multiple Entry visas valid for 5 years with a 180 day stamp on each entry into Thailand.

Anonymous participant thank you 👍 Are you now going to apply for dependent DTV visas for family members of your husband? Or do you already have a DTV Visa?

What is your passport nation?

Where are you now located?

What is your recent history of staying or entering Thailand?

Why do you want to get the DTV visa?

None... do your research. Thai language is an Ed Visa not for the DTV visa.
