Applied at the Thai E Visa site for a DTV visa a month ago (New York Office), still waiting. Status says "Processing Pending Approval". Not really concerned since my planned departure is late Jan. I do recall last few times I applied (other visa types), I did not get the visa until a day or 2 prior to my departure. Anyone have any insights to share?

DTV - London - application

I was due to fly in on 1st January 2026 and applied on the 2nd December 2025 in London. I shared a copy of the 2 hotels I was due to stay in as part of my application. I've since cancelled both hotels as the free cancellation period was coming to an end. Will this affect my DTV application?

Do you need to show that you’ve had 500K in your account for 3 months before applying for a DTV visa? I’m from the UK. Will my business account suffice?

Hello. Is the DTV visa suitable for the work of a French or other expatriate living and working in Thailand for a non-Thai company, particularly in digital marketing? Is the condition that they employ a certain number of Thai employees? Can someone confirm this for me? Thank you in advance. Happy holidays. Lucas.

Hi 👋

For those who applied for the DTV visa from Vietnam —

did anyone apply in HCMC and then travel to another city (Da Nang / Hanoi / etc.) while waiting?

Was it okay, or did they ask for new proof of location?

Thanks!

Looking to move my family of 8 and possibly mother in law to Bangkok in Summer 2026. Give me some advice please.

We currently homeschool Ages 18(interested in Culinary), 14,10,8,4,1. What would be the best option for such a big family?

We don’t have the baht requirement for us all to be on DTV., only myself would cover the Baht requirements with dependents/ current living expenses $3600 monthly

My children are US Passport holders and their mom. I’m a Jamaican Passport holder . Would the requirement make a big difference ?

Also, has anyone done a retirement visa. My mother is 80 on a fixed income. Any advice on that. (Found answer to this)

Hello - I’m looking at applying for DTV under workation but not sure if I apply as a freelancer or employee.

Im a full stack software engineer and am CEO and director of a start up in Canada, we design proprietary software and do not do business in Thailand.

We received around 500k in funding and I’ve been drawing a salary of 5k per month for the past 8 months. There is only one other full time employee. Do I apply as a freelancer or employee of a company? If I apply as an employee of a company are there additional documents I should add?

Im applying in HCMC
