How to use this page
DTV-REQ-006: Pending is written for people preparing a Thailand Destination Thailand Visa file, including applicants and Thai helpers supporting someone else. Use it as a preparation check before submitting documents, not as a promise that an embassy will approve a specific case.
Soft power applicants may still need to show economic stability and professional identity. The practical goal is to make the applicant's route, funds, identity documents, and supporting evidence easy for a reviewer to understand.
What to check before relying on it
Read this page alongside the latest embassy instructions for the place where the applicant will apply. DTV practice can differ by post, and public reports are best used as preparation signals. A stronger file usually makes the applicant's category clear, shows funds in a readable way, explains unusual bank activity, and avoids mismatched names, dates, or document versions.
If a Thai friend, partner, assistant, or agent is helping, they can use these notes to translate requirements into a simple document checklist. The applicant should still confirm official rules, because DTVCheck is a preparation tool and not an embassy decision maker.
