Hello to all members.

I want to apply online for the O-A visa. I have the following question. On page 4 of the online application form, it asks for the upload of supporting documents for health insurance, criminal record, bank and others. How did you proceed if you had to upload multiple documents related to a position? I can only upload one page even though I have several to upload. Thanks to everyone who replied. I also received an email from the Embassy earlier advising me to combine all 3 bank statements into one PDF.

Hi , I applied for a DTV visa through the London Embassy last week via the soft power route. The next day the embassy responded asking for my booked flight confirmation. I booked a flight dated the 31/10/25 and uploaded the confirmation to the e visa site. The next day the status of my application changed to processing pending approval. It has now been a week since the last update and the status of my application has remained the same. Do the embassy wait until it's close to your flight date before issuing the visa?

Hello and good day to everyone!

I have two quick questions:

The first one is, I currently have a DTV workation, and in 3 weeks it will be 90 days since I arrived in the country. I've heard that it needs to be declared. I am currently in Chiang Mai; is this done at the same place as the visa extension? Also, do I need to prepare anything in advance, or should I just show up with my passport, and that's enough?

The second question: Once I leave the country and decide to come back, do I still need to prove I have 500k baht in my bank account, or is there no more check?

Thank you so much in advance for your answers! :)

Wooo celebration time. Finally got my final stamp for marriage visa. During our home visit they mentioned a 2nd home visit. But at immigration today, none of it was mentioned.

BUT

After driving back up to our area, 1.5 hours, to check on our build. Immigration pulls up to check on our build site and workers haha. They were all very chill though.

Hi all,

I have 500,000 baht accumulatively in my bank accounts. They are distributed into different savings accounts. Will the embassy accept this? Or do I have to consolidate all of my savings into a single bank account?

These are all savings acounts, meaning the money can be withdrawn at any time.

Hey everyone!

I had a quick question about the DTV visa application process. My bank only issues official statements around the middle of each month. Since I plan to apply in early November, I won’t be able to include the official October statement by then.

Would it be okay if I attach screenshots of my account instead to show the balance? I just don’t want to risk wasting the application fee if that could be a problem.

If anyone has applied in HCM 🇻🇳 and faced a similar situation, I’d really appreciate your advice.

Thank you!

Hello everyone! i’m currently in thailand and planning to apply for DTV on the freelancer track. I do know I need to leave the country to apply. I’m making this post looking for anyone with a similar work situation who applied as I’m finding lots of conflicting information about what documents will be sufficient and how likely I am to be approved. I am from the US if country of origin is important.

I am a contract data analyst and right now I’m working for just one client (on a contract basis but more or less full time work). I have a contract with this company and a few months history of invoices and matching deposits in my bank account. I’m not registered as a business so one of my concerns is that they’ll ask for some proof of incorporation. I also saw one post here where they requested 6 months of invoices but I currently have only 3 months with this client. Do you think that will be sufficient? Is it worthwhile to hire a law firm to file the application for me?

I’m also considering getting my divemaster soon-ish so if you don’t think my work situation will pan out, I would go for the soft-power scheme (which it seems is less complicated?) Any advice on that track?

Another question I have is which country would be best to apply from? I’ve seen some posts here of people applying from Vietnam but Americans don’t get visa on arrival for Vietnam so that may complicate things. Are Laos or Cambodia good options?

Thank you so much in advance for reading and sharing your knowledge 🙏🏼🙏🏼☺️

I recently submitted my DTV application and realized i made a typo in my cover letter and mentioned in it that have been working for the company since 2022 when it should have been 2023, am i screwed?

I have attached my work contract which specifically says my initial employment was 2023 and later contract renewal dates.

Cover letter was attached with proof of location documents and the work contract is separate.

So am i f*cked because of this typo? Everything else was perfect

Friend of mine arriving next month.

He’s applied for a 90 day non O visa.

No problem.

He’ll be staying at our property.

We’ll be helping him to open a bank account, using our address.

How do we register him as staying with us at immigration?

TIA. Charles.

Update: I submitted the document they asked for today and I just got it approved.

Hello, I am currently in Hanoi and submitted my documents for the DTV visa. But they have requested supporting documents. I work as a online E-Commerce manager for a UK company and already submitted my contract with the company I am working for including several term changes where salary increases are stated.

What should I give them now?

- resume?

- screenshots from Shopify, Klaviyo and GA?

- work mail?

- registration is visible online on the gov.uk site would this be sufficient?

*Support Document*

*1 . Employment contract or employment certificate in their country or professional portfolio showcasing digital nomad, remote worker, foreign talent or freelancer status (Business registration of company you're currently working with. *

Not really looking to spend much longer here in Hanoi.

Many thanks!
