Quick question: I’m a UK citizen on a remote working contract, I have all of the required documents to apply for a DTV Workation visa, but I’ve only had the required money in my bank account for about 1 month. I’ve seen comments from people saying it should be three months, but I’ve not been able to locate any official information regarding this. I’m wondering if anyone from the UK has successfully obtained a DTV visa recently by showing less than 3 months bank statements?

DTV soft power, can I still have online income?

I heard conflicting answers about it and I would like to clarify my doubts.

I am getting DTV through soft power, but I have an online business (website) with a small income (1k euro monthly usually). Am I allowed to keep working on the business even if I got a DTV via soft power?

Thank you

I’m a freelancer, and while my income isn’t fixed, it is consistent, I earn between $2,000 to $5,000 per month. I can also show 500K THB in my bank account.

I’m planning to apply for the DTV visa and move to Bangkok in January 2026. I want to know if anyone here has applied for the DTV visa as a freelancer without business registration or formal work contracts. My work is completely open-source: I do smart contract audits and bug bounties, so I don’t need client contracts or a traditional employer. I can show Income tax returns and Paypal invoices.

If anyone has successfully gotten approved under similar conditions, please share your experience and any valuable tips.

Anyone from Perth WA apply recently for a DTV - was it smooth sailing?

Then have a spouse and 2 children apply after your visa was issued?

Planning our process from Aus to Thailand

I am going to vietnam in February 2026 and don’t want any issues as my visa is valid until May 2030.

I must now bring 25,000 baht CASH with me , I always print a copy of my visa in A4 inside my passport , along with my TDAC, what else do i need to do?

Thanks in advance. I just want to be prepared! Like we all do!

Inquiry for DTV visa cancellation process

I’m planning to apply for a Non-Immigrant B visa for work.

Currently, I hold a DTV visa issued by the Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

I’ve tried to check the DTV cancellation process:

♦️I asked immigration officers in Chiang Mai, but they said they aren’t fully sure. They told me my DTV will be automatically cancelled when I enter Thailand with a new visa from outside the country.

♦️I also emailed the Phnom Penh Thai Embassy for clarification but haven’t received any reply.

⚠️Recently, I applied for a Non-B visa in Laos, but my application was cancelled (as shown in the screenshot).

They said "my passport bio page image was unclear, even after I re-submitted it in JPEG format.

and in addition you still have DTV and IB visa issued from Thailand Embassy in Phnom Penh.Please contact them to cancel them before you entering Thailand with a new visa. "

Is there anything I can do here in Laos to resolve the DTV visa issue, without needing to travel back to the Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh for cancellation?

But Phnom Penh Thailand embassy hasn’t replied to my emails, and I am currently in Laos.

For context, my visa history is:

1st Non-B → then DTV in cambodia, Phnom Penh→ now applying for Non-B in Laos, Vientiane.

So I’m wondering:

👉 Has anyone experienced the same issue when switching from DTV to Non-B visa?

👉 Is there anything I should prepare or be careful about regarding the DTV cancellation or passport submission before applying my non b visa again ?

Any information or advice would be really appreciated. Thank you! 🙏

Applied for dtv while in New York, soft power must Thai route 1 month course, given 6 month metv instead, didn’t use it, now in Hanoi and want to apply for dtv work action visa as a freelancer. I meet all the requirements but my metv visa doesn’t end until February(August2025 to February 2026) it says my tr visa is valid 06 July 2025 to 01 January 2026

I’m in Hanoi now, can I apply for dtv visa in the meantime while that other metv visa still exists that I didn’t use? Or do I have to wait for it to expire and when is the earliest I can apply then? I will apply in Hanoi. Appreciate any help, thank you so much!
