For anyone that applied in Vietnam, Jakarta, or Cambodia, how much time did you budget for the application process? I'm trying to determine whether I should book for 1 week or 2 weeks.

I'm a cryptocurrency trader and liquidated ~700k THB and deposited it into my personal checking account, however I don't receive a consistent paycheck. Ideally I would like to apply at an embassy that accepts 1 month bank statement. Spoke with a law firm in Bangkok (Baan Thai) and they recommended applying in Vietnam. They said Vietnam is fast (5 days) and although they require 6 month bank bank statement, they are only concerned with the final closing balance.

However, I've read posts on here stating that Jakarta accepts 1 month bank statement and is quite fast as well.

Could anyone share their experience or recommendation?

For context, I'm applying under Muay Thai Soft Power through FITFAC. Course is paid in full for 9 months. US citizen.

Hi everyone!

Are there any Bulgarians that have applied for the DTV visa online by selecting another embassy and can you share your experience?

I applied on the 29th of January online through the Thai embassy in Copenhagen Denmark as I live in Denmark and my company is registered here but my application is still pending approval. I have also not gotten any requests for additional documents.

I know the process can take much longer but I read here in the group that people from Romania and Bulgaria have come across some issues and I was not sure if that happens in general to nationals from our countries or just when people apply through the Bulgarian/Romania embassies.

Thank you so much!

Has anyone received an email from the embassy in HCMC? I've been waiting for over a week now, no information yet

Hey guys anyone know the current wait time to get DTV visa processes for softpower in Hanoi? If anyone has applied in Hanoi recently would be great to know.

Anyone from UK applied via London embassy recently? How did it go, and how long did it take? I've just applied

Hi all! I just got my DTV visa from Cambodia. Took 2 weeks and had to comeback to Thailand first.

I'm trying to get my husband's spousal DTV visa from somewhere else but Cambodia.

1) Where do you recommend for spousal DTV application? I'm asking this because I only have 500k in my bank account for the past few weeks.

I thought about Laos but they might ask 3 months bank statement over 500k each month of the DTV holder (so my bank bank statement). Also I'm getting mixed messages about Laos' processing time.

2) What are the documents I need for the recommended location? The website and contacting them are useless...

I would greatly appreciate I someone can answer these questions! Thank you🥳

Can I apply for the DTV via e visa process in Da Nang? How long does the process usually take?

LA seems to be the quickest US consulate. Just had this feedback: "Hello! I wanted to let you know my DTV was approved on January 15, 2025. It took exactly 3 weeks. I am so excited! I was not asked for any additional paperwork or clarification from the Thai Consulate in Los Angeles, and approval came swiftly. I just wanted to say THANK YOU! I believe the packet you put together was detailed and accurate making the entire application very smooth."

Is it normal for the online 90 days report to take a week or longer? I moved to Bangkok and did my first 90 day report in person already. This is the 2nd one which can be done online they told me. I sent the 90 days report 20 January and it's still pending......(due date is 31 January). Does anyone have experience with this?

Hi fellow Thailand enthusiasts,

Apologies if this seems like a silly question, but I thought I’d ask. I’ll be applying for the DTV soft power visa for Thailand in Vietnam, Hanoi. My wife and our 6-month-old son will also apply as dependents under my visa.

As we prepare for the trip to Vietnam, we’re wondering if we need to stay by the embassy (to go in anytime) and how long we should plan to stay. I understand that I need to apply for my DTV first, and then I can apply for my wife and child’s dependent DTVs. However, I’m unsure about the processing times—would it take around 10 days for mine and then another 10 days for theirs, or could everything be processed simultaneously?

Has anyone here traveled as a family to Vietnam for this purpose? How long did the entire process take for you?

Thanks in advance for your advice!
