Received my 5 year DTV approval yesterday via email!

Submitted 24/09/24 via Thai E-Visa website, received in 3 days.

US Consulate - Los Angeles , I am American citizen

Paid: $400 USD

Documents provided:

Proof of location: State drivers license

Proof of funds: One month bank statement showing beginning and ending balance of $18,000 USD + 401k quarterly statement showing balance well over that amount. I did redact account numbers and sensitive info by crossing off with marker

Proof of remote work: I have an LLC, submitted business license from Secretary of State as well as typed Remote work policy that I signed as Managing member of the LLC. I will include full remote work policy doc.

That's it, they did not ask for any further docs, just approved it. Couldn't be happier :)

Looking to apply for a DTV with using my an appointment slip from BKK hospital for my annual physical. Anyone see a problem with that?

I am an online business owner.. leaving for thailand on monday for 6 months.. im going to use the 2x (60 exempt + 30 extension). 3 days in Malaysia in between. Does this seem ok? Ill apply for a DTV when i get back . Hoping this should be fine right?

Asking specifically about Jakarta —

Do you pay upfront? Or do you pay on pickup?

I seem to remember someone saying they paid the visa fee at pickup, and that would be super convenient for me as I’m needing to exchange money.

Good morning, okay now I'm going to be in Taipei in November so I'm thinking I'm just going to apply while I am there fingers crossed that it can still be done in person in one day.

I have a few things I might be worried about till I was wondering if anyone could give me the email address for the Consulate in Taipei I'm legally blind and seem to be struggling to find it

Some potential concerns I have.

I own my own as Corporation registered business within the US what documents is it that I need to provide to show that that is my source of income.

Do I need to prove source of income because I just do s distributions as needed so it is not a consistent payment schedule.

I have just changed Banks with my main account so therefore I do not have 6 months of active statements I have other bank accounts where there's less activity to no activity.

Thank you for all of your help

I’m applying for DTV in Taipei or HCMC end of October/early Novemebr.

I have cover letter, letter from employer, bank accts with necessary money + highlighted direct deposits into my bank acct from my employer, USA drivers license, house rental contract in Thailand, and USA passport, birth certificates for all 4 kids and marriage certificate for my wife.

I’m coming off a 1 year work permit here in Thailand. Been living here for 2 years.

3 questions

Where is a printable DTV visa form? (All I can find online is E visa form)

Do I need a form for each of my kids and wife for their follower on my DTV? Or do I just give embassy their passports with my application?

Do I pay 10,000baht for each of my family members too?

Any recommendation on HCMC vs Taipei?

Thanks in advance. I’ll let you know how it went.

DTV 90 Day Reporting?

Hello there, I was wondering if 90 day reporting is required for the DTV, I saw conversations on this a few months back and the consensus was it was not required. I just watched a YouTube video where this guy was saying you need to do it so I am now confused if it is required or not. Nowhere in the application process or in the issued visa or any documentation does it say anything about a 90 day report.

It's probably still early days yet, but just so we know for sure through empirical evidence, has anyone already entered, exited and re-entered Thailand on their DTV and gotten a new 180-day stamp on their 2nd entry?

I did a search for "reenter" and "reentry" in the post history and I don't see anyone sharing that info yet. (I know we all understand that's how it's supposed to work but I'm just trying to make certain that someone's actually done it :))

As I said it's probably too early for anyone to have done that yet but if someone happens to, please do share!

Hi everyone. I have a quick question before my appointment In Vientiane this Tuesday (2nd October).

My bank only provide statements after the 4th of every month, my appointment is on the 2nd which means I couldn’t produce a September statement to the embassy. Will giving them the August statement as the latest be a problem? I have more than 500k baht in the account way more than the required 3-6 months. Thanks in advance!

Hello, I would like to inquire about applying for a DTV visa outside of Thailand, specifically in Ho Chi Minh City, Phnom Penh, Hanoi, or Jakarta. Could you please advise on which location is the most convenient and easiest for the application process? Additionally, I’ve read that Cambodia may soon require prior appointments for visa applications. Could you kindly confirm when this will take effect? I am planning to travel on October 7th, so any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your assistance. 😊
