Hi everyone. I will soon apply for the DTV in Jakarta with soft power (Muay Thai). I've already scrolled through this group and read a lot of information but I'm left with a few questions.
1) Can I prefill the application while in Thailand or any other country for that matter, and then submit it once in Jakarta? (I'm currently in TH and plan to fly out next week.
2) regarding bankstatements:
Do I need a statement of the 500K on the day of submission or is a week prior sufficient?
Do I need 6 months of full transaction history or is end of month balance (6 snapshots) sufficient? (or 3, I read that jakarta embasy is less strict on historical tx)
3) If I apply with soft power, What do I fill in for occupation? I work full time (currently remote) but I'm scared that they might reject my application if I mention this because I don't know if you're supposed to or allowed to work on this visa.
Ah they're cute these embassies. Sitting in hotel in Hanoi after two and a half weeks in Vietnam ready to fly out this afternoon.. Husband had his DTV and I was the hanger on. They stopped asking for documents on Wednesday and I thought I'd better go to the temple yesterday. It worked. As of 5 minutes ago, I have a DTV which hotel has printed out.
Hello- Has anyone had experience applying for the DTV from Manila, Philippines? I'm months away from applying but would appriciate any insight. Thanks.
Like a lot of other posters, I’m in the middle of preparing my visa application on the Thai evisa website. My question is, I’m not yet sure of the exact date I’m coming over so I haven’t gotten my actual flight yet, just want o go ahead and get my visa approved and in hand. If I book a changeable flight and hotel reservation and submit that on my application and then change it when I have a firm date, will I get red flagged if I arrive a few days earlier or later? Thanks in advance!
