Sharing my DTV approval experience as contribution to this group which helped a lot.

Workation (remote worker), Russian nationality. Provided all necessary bunch of documents combined in one PDF for every section, every PDF started with cover letter explains what and where there.

Applied in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam on February 8th (Saturday).

On February 11th (Tuesday) was requested additional documents:

- Financial evidence: amount of no less than 500,000 THB, e.g. bank statements, sponsorship letter : Please arrange your document in order.

- Other request documents: Provide a company profile that includes details about its history, vision, mission, products, and achievements.

- Other request documents: Provide details about your current role, including your CV/portfolio, and any relevant documents. Additionally, if you have work examples or supporting materials that demonstrate your experience and qualifications, it's recommended to provide.

- Other request documents: Provide the salary slips for the past 6 months, please highlight them in your transaction records.

All documents were sent originally so at the same day I sent them again just in different order.

After that my application was on pending documents check status until yesterday, February 17th, it switched to pending approval.

Today, February 18th, the visa was approved. So after additional documents request it took 5 working days to issue the visa.

Would like to thank all who shared their experiences!

I have a few questions regarding the 1 yr Extension for the Non O marriage visa.

- based in BKK, so I will go to CW. I read that the under consideration period is 21 days there and that I can apply from -45days onwards. If I go early, let’s say 40 days before, is the under consideration period still 21 days or the full 40 days?

- in regard to the bank letter with the 400k. I assume this is just the print out of all the past transactions + the signature of the branch manager right?

- those 6 pictures of me together with my wife have to be taken at specific locations within and in front of our condo?

Thanks a lot
