Dear people who applied from SG:

Do you absolutely need lease agreement/title deed to prove that you are staying in Singapore? are there other documents that i can use for this?

I’m planning to go to Ho Chi Minh next month and apply for the DTV Soft Power program.

1. My bank account has been open for 6 months, with an average balance of $16,000, though at some points, it had $12,000. If I have around $16,000 at the time of application, would that be sufficient?

2. What documents did you submit as proof that you are in Ho Chi Minh? Would an Airbnb reservation and entry certificate be enough?

Thanks, friends!

Hello everyone,

I am currently in Thailand and looking to apply for the DTV Workation visa. I am just starting my business as a self-employed entrepreneur, and although I have the required €15,000, I do not yet have incoming revenue in my account. I am wondering if this might be an issue for my application.

Here are the documents I plan to submit to the embassy:

📌 Basic Documents:

✔ Passport

✔ Copy of the main passport page

✔ 1 passport-size photo

✔ Visa application form

📌 Proof of Residence:

✔ Proof of residence in France (under my mother’s name)

✔ My mother’s ID

✔ My own ID

✔ Residence certificate

📌 Financial Documents:

✔ Bank statements from the last 6 months

✔ Bank statement showing possession of €15,000

📌 Business Proofs:

✔ A letter presenting my business, explaining how I generate income (bank transfers) and the platforms I use

✔ Screenshots and links to my website on Systeme.io, my Instagram account, and my online business

✔ Business registration with INSEE as a self-employed entrepreneur

✔ A recent invoice (less than 3 months old)

✔ Proof of a bank transfer related to my business activity

My questions:

1️⃣ Based on my situation and the documents provided, do you think I have a good chance of obtaining the DTV visa?

2️⃣ Could the lack of incoming revenue in my account be an issue?

3️⃣ Which embassy would you recommend for submitting my application while I am currently in Thailand? (I would prefer not to travel too far.)

Thank you in advance for your advice and insights.

Tomorrow I will go to DLT to renew my driving license to get 5-years license.

As I have a work permit, this should be sufficient for the proof of residence.

They require a copy of the work permit page with address. However, my residence address is not showing on my work permit. I wonder if this will give me any issues tomorrow?

— QUESTION/ HELP w/ docs. Submitted section. —

In the document section at the end; some parts seem to be missing so not sure where to upload the documents. (See at end of this post)

✨

3. Document indicating current location *

- For Vietnam I assume??? (Not Thailand)

- Is it both flight & accommodation to upload as below? (Can I attach it all together as one or separate attachments?)

FLIGHT: (Pic of physical ticket with passport, flight confirmation email & receipt from bank to show payment?)

ACCOMMODATION BOOKING: confirmation from Agoda/online receipt/entry stamp/pic of you at accommodation)

✨

4. Financial evidence: amount of no less than 500,000 THB, e.g. bank statements, sponsorship letter *

- only 6m recent bank statements right?

✨

5. Proof of confirmation to attend the activity or letter of appointment from hospital/medical center *

- only school document package

✨

BUT:

Where do I upload my rental contract for proof of residence in Thailand? Should I also attach my Thai drivers license for proof of residence or not needed?)

After these are uploaded; once I click “DONE” that’s what I press after I’m in Vietnam and all docs/pics uploaded correct?

Just want to make sure all of this is correct!

If I’m missing anything please let me know and thanks so much for your help.

Has anyone extended their soft-power DTV yet after 6 months? What documents were you asked?

I don't know how to set pdf

Hey everyone, in reading through as many posts here as I can and after calling the embassy of my home country I'm still a bit confused on how to handle my situation regarding location and residence.

I have a country of residence, I am currently not in (which does NOT have a Thai embassy). I also left my country of citizenship I was visiting recently which does have a Thai embassy with which I spoke to. My business is US based although I'm neither a resident or citizen there and not present there either.

I'm getting a lot of mixed information, I've read that I need documents proving my residence ties to my country of permanent residence (utility bill, residence card etc). I've also read I need proof of my current location, which also often seems to be documents related to residence? So I'm confused.

When I spoke to the representative from the embassy she really emphasized the importance of showing residence ties to your permanent place of residence not my current location, although she seemed to indicate my original home country would be acceptable too.

On another note did anyone apply from their home country that is no longer their permanent residence? If so what documents did you use?

So I'm at a bit of a loss here. I read about people traveling to Laos, Vietnam etc to apply for their evisas, I could do the same and am considering it. I just know my situation is a little more convoluted than most and applying through a foreign embassy as a tourist may only further complicate things. Any suggestions or clarifications are welcome. 🙏

Hello everyone,

I’m preparing my visa application for Thailand and I have a question about the required documents.

I understand that:

* Point 4 requires the flight ticket/travel booking confirmation.

* Point 5 asks for proof of accommodation in Thailand, such as hotel bookings or an invitation letter from family/friends.

However, I’m unclear about Point 3, which states: “Document indicating current location.” What kind of document is needed for this? Would it be proof of residence, a utility bill, or something else?

Any advice or examples would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Next month will go to Vientiene to apply for the DTV...

Currently living in Bangkok and have proof of residence, Thai bank accounts (with the necessary funds for the last year) and have enrolled in a Muay Thai class (with dtv authorisation documents)

How many days do you think it will take to get the DTV approved once in Laos?

Thanks in advance for your responses
