I just recently registered my business and am not going to be operating until later in the year. So I don't have any evidence apart from the business registration. Is that enough evidence of self employment to get the DTV visa?

Besides that, I can meet all other requirements (e.g. 500,000k in the bank).

My DTV application failed. They asked me for additional documents that I do not have. They increased the tenure of bank statement to 6 months, which I don't currently have. Cairo consulate.

On January 12th, I left Phuket airport for the second time with DTV visa, after 26 days in Thailand. The officer spent a long time reading something on the screen and asked me what my activity in Thailand was. I replied that, as a teleworker, I had worked those days for my company in Spain. Why this question? Has anything changed with DTV?

I feel like I’ve seen the answer but I just want to make sure - I am applying in Hanoi and want to make sure I am correct about the bank statements. I will have the balance of over 500k in one bank account for one month ending balance. I have an other account that I receive my payments from work but the ending balance is way lower. Can I show two bank accounts? Will this be okay? Also would I have to keep the 500k in that bank while I’m applying?

As a freelancer, do the asked for documents include tax returns? Being a remote, digital nomad, this isn't always possible. Or is this only for US citizens applying in the US?

Hello all....

I'll be applying for the DTV from Vietnam next week and have a few questions about the process.

I have worked abroad for a long time and have moved around an awful lot so I haven't been liable to pay tax anywhere. I have read that many folks are being asked to provide tax returns.

Has anyone successfully applied for and been granted the DTV without being asked for evidence of paying tax? I, of course have the funds in the bank and have done so for at least six months.

I am an English tutor that works online and is self-employed.

Would it be better for me to mention up-front on my cover letter that I am unable to provide evidence of tax returns or wait for them to ask?

I'd appreciate any info.

Thank you!

Away to apply from London. Remote worker.

How long does the 500000baht need to have been in my account for. Just closing balance? And what length of bank statements do they require.

Thanks

For those of us that will be in Thailand more than 180 days in a calendar year, what’s the process for getting a Tax Identification number and submitting a tax return ?

I'd appreciate any info.

I would like to know where I can obtain the DTV Visa Application Form. Could you please confirm if this form is available for download online or if it needs to be filled out in person at the Royal Thai Embassy
