I just got approved for DTV from Los Angeles and I wanted to share my experience.
Applied February 4th and got approved February 14th.
Applied under soft power and pre-paid muay thai classes for 9 months. This school had many branches and it was close to my condo. 9 months was the only length they had.
Provided only 1 month of bank statement. Drivers license for proof of residence in the US. Flight number but no proof of flight purchased required. Condo address in Bangkok but didn't have to show proof of a lease.
It was fairly easy. They didn't ask for any more info. Just be careful with the birthday. It kept changing on its own by one day or one year. Make sure you look at your birthday carefully on the last page before you submit. Also, I have a hyphen in my middle name and I thought I forgot to put it in the application. Make sure your name looks identical to your passport.
I have my initial non b from embassy and applied for the work permit already. May i know what will i know need to get a 1 year extension on my non b from immigration ? Thank you
I am in my home country, Houston Texas, and I am applying for the LRT Visa, from my home country Washington DC.
**The application asks for "4 . Letter of qualification endorsement issued from Thailand Board of Investment (BOI) (valid for only 60 days since the date of issue)"
How would I get that if I am not in Thailand?
I thought all I need were a couple of recent w2's?
Do I upload those?
EDIT:
I read the fine print... I guess I don't got the big bucks I thought I did. I could delete this post but I know many will enjoy the trolling.
PS
If I could figure out how to turn off the bold, it wouldn't be bold. duh!**
I've heard a few people say that they were denied for using a business account to show proof of funds.
My question is: what type of bank accounts are acceptable? I figure personal bank accounts are fine. What about proof of funds with a credit card? Can you show proof by submitting multiple accounts? (For example: A personal bank account/credit card account).
For the 65,000 baht monthly deposit, do need to show that proof of deposit for a year before applying for the 1 year visa or just documentation that I have it? I also have the 800,000 baht to deposit. Could I deposit it and apply for the retirement visa and in parallel deposit the 65,000 baht and eventually prove that I have it and then withdraw the 800,000? Thank you
I have 3 years validity in my passport, if I apply for the dtv visa now( 5 years validity), would there be any problems when I renew my passport later.
I got approved with soft power route in Hong Kong consulate after a bunch of documents.
I provided:
-Gym confirmation (need 6 months of membership)
-Documents that indicated my current location(bank statement)
-6 months of bank statement for the 500000 money( you can provide 3 months in Hong Kong too)
Additional that the HK Consulate ask for:
-Valid HK stay permit (Landing Slip/Working Visa) + HKID( no need landing slip and visa if you a HKID holder)
- Muay Thai Courses that are eligible to apply for DTV Visa must (1) be a Muay Thai Course certified by the Thailand Board of Boxing Sport (2) be held by the similarly certified Muay Thai gym (I only provided Board of Boxing Sports from Ministry of Turism and Sports)
- the applicant must demonstrate detailed portfolio of Muay Thai past experience for no less than 6 months (I gave a kind of CV for them tell what did I do, my old gym agreement and some photo of me that I captured from IG video)
-School registration and ID of authorized person's signature
I'm a German national without permanent residency and want to apply for a DTV through their website.
The only thing that I worry about is the last part "Employment contract or employment certificate in their country or professional portfolio showcasing digital nomad, remote worker, foreign talent or freelancer status."
I have a US LLC through which I sell online coaching and writing services.
What would be best to supply there? I have:
* proof that the US LLC is registered in my name
* past invoices from clients
* I could write a certificate in the name of the company to prove I can work remotely
* a website that's currently offline but would be easy to set to live
