I have seen posts on this group where people are saying they are getting a A dtv visa for being a house/property owner and renting out the property/ properties.

I own a house in Gambia that I rent out long term. Can I use my house rental to get a DTV ?

I have more than £20k in a UK savings account

TIA

Entering Thailand for the first time with DTV, do they check about an onward flight?

Has anyone done a dtv for medical care for themselves or their children? This is actually the main reason we want to come to Thailand so we are considering that route instead of a class?

Hi everyone, my first post and want to clarify even of its been asked a hundred times… Cheers

I am an Australian citizen, and I am writing to seek clarification regarding my eligibility to apply for a Digital Nomad (DTV) visa.

Recently, I was refused entry at Thai Immigration at Suvarnabhumi International Airport. The reason provided was the frequent use of visa exemptions, not any visa overstay or legal violation. I was informed that I could return to Australia and reapply for a proper visa if I wished to stay in Thailand for an extended period.

Before I proceed with my DTV visa application, I would like to confirm whether my previous entry refusal will affect my eligibility, and whether any record in the immigration system would prevent me from obtaining a DTV visa.

For your reference, I have never overstayed in Thailand and have always complied fully with immigration laws. My intention in applying for the DTV is to stay lawfully in Thailand while working remotely for my overseas clients.

My visa is now pending approval however it has been 3 and a half weeks already almost 4 and still not approved.

I am starting to get worried that it wont be approved. I see many others getting their in a more efficient timeframe.

I went to Bali on Nov 3rd, had some business there. Applied for my DTV. So this was before all the new rules. On Nov 13 they asked for all pages of my passport and proof of income. I work for myself so I sent my PayPal account and sent a letter stating that my bank account holds a balance of $180K Canadian which is over 4 million Thai baht not including other investments. I was approved yesterday Nov 18 got the email around 1pm. I then booked my flight to Thailand for today. I had the email printed out everything done. I got pulled over and questioned, they ask me what information I provided Jakarta to get my approval, I had to show my website, I showed my bank account balance, I showed my water bill because I rent a condo. Eventually for stamped for 6 months. So just because you have a DTV doesn’t mean you won't get questioned. Also to be clear, I have never done a visa run. I came to Thailand used the 60 days tourist, 1 extension for 30 days then went to Bali. It just aligned with my work. Within those 3 months here I leased a condo knowing I will apply for the DTV. Oh they also wanted to know how much I make monthly, it's random, some months can be 5000 some months nothing so I said that.

Good day all.

Time for another extension of my non-immigrant "O" visa based on a Thai child. I've used the search function to look for changes to the criteria as the authorities are well-known for tweaks that can torpedo a perfectly decent application but it's very confusing.

Is it the case that the 400k now has to be seasoned in a Thai bank account for 90 days/3 months prior to application?

Question about the 65k monthly income method for retirement visa extension: should all the monthly deposits be done to the same bank, or would it be okay for 11 deposits to one bank and one deposit to another bank? TIA.

With the new rules, how many times can I enter in Thailand with a visa exemption? I'll enter by plane and won't extend the exemption.
