Hi !

I plan to apply for DTV in jakarta soon for Workation as freelance. I have 500k statements from the last 6 months.

However my situation is a bit specific as I am a freelance, but has been working for a single client over the last 6 years, almost like an employee.

Therefore, I am concerned regarding the portfolio requirements. Was wondering if anyone has been in the same situation ? What kind of documents would you recommend to provide ?

I was thinking to provide invoices with matching funds received on my bank account, not sure if that will be enough

Thank you :)

Hi. I am on a non O retirement visa with the 800000 baht option and my wife is in a non O retirement visa with 65000 monthly deposit. We live in Chiang Mai and both bank with Bangkok Bank. We are considering a move to Hua Hin but have read that this can create many issues around visa renewal and providing evidence from the bank for accepted time allowances for seasoning if we move to Bangkok Bank in Hua Hin. Is it best to move mid visa or at renewal time. Any advice most welcome Cheers

I recently got my Elite visa. I want to ask what I need to do every time I get in. TDAC is for sure. And then the TM30 too? What else?

Hi. New to the group.

I have a retirement visa that is due for renewal mid September. I got a new passport and obviously need to transfer my current visa to my new passport. Should I do the transfer now or wait until next month and do everything together. Thanks 🙏

Anyone in Kanchanaburi with DTV visa? Looking for help to get soft power DTV. Cooking, language, anything except Muay. I have small business consulting company but no revenue mostly nonprofit work helping entrepreneurs. Does this qualify?

Approved from Vientiane : )

I am a UK citizen but have residency in Seoul, SK

Arrived in Phuket Dec 2024, was on tourist visa until I left Thailand July 26th (without overstays). I was warned on my last entry to Phuket that next time I may be denied entry and they recommended I apply for the DTV.

Left Thailand by car and arrived in Vientiane on 26th (brought my dog with me too!)

Submitted docs by morning of 28th on Thai E visa portal.

- passport bio page

- photo of myself

- entry stamp to Laos in my passport

- Bank Statements for last 3 months. I made PDF for this showing my South Korean bank details and bank statements for 3 different accounts. I made sure every screenshot, downloaded file clearly showed my name, my account numbers, bank name, bank logo and the balances visible, I even made extra pages with these screenshots zoomed in so it is clear.

- Letter of employment (from my boss) + copy my company's south korean business registration + Proof of salary (showing received money in a bank statemement that shows my compay's name and money received every month + mini work portfolio showing what i do. I merged this all into 1 PDF

The Embassy was closed on this day (28th) so had to go to Thai consulate to pay for application on the 29th (no online payment available for Vientiane)

On the 29th there were too many people in line waiting to pay for applications and I (along with many others) was unable to make payments before they closed at noon.

I had to return the following day

July 30th - paid for application

July 31st - got email for interview date for August 13th

I knew there would be some waiting time sohad planned for this anyway and went to Vang Vieng for 8 days- amazing place

Came back to Vientiane on 10th

Had interview today at 10:25 am, was done by 10:35, got email approval by 11:20

Good luck everyone! Thank you to this group, Thank you Thailand and Thank you Laos! Lets go!

good morning all,

i have a dilemma id appreciate some advice on. so i applied as a remote worker which i am but the salary is pretty much on the low end. the way i support myself comfortably is through rent from two properties. initially i did not include info regarding the properties, and i am being asked for additional info on payslips, examples of my work etc. while im going to upload everything i m asked for im planning to include info about the two rental properties in the financial section. would this be a problem since they re not payslips?

anyone knows the email address of thai embassy in jakatar? couldn’t find it on their website. I’d like to make some inquiries

I'm flying to Bangkok next week with Indigo Airlines (ams-mum-bkk) (one-way). I want to prepare for my DTV (deposit enough cash into my Thai account) and marry my fiancée at the end of the year. I want to take advantage of the first 60-90 days (60-day stamp / 30-day extension). This is where the uncertainty begins, as Indigo's support is very unreliable and I can't reach the check-in counter. I don't want to get into trouble, but I also don't want to waste money unnecessarily with onward tickets that aren't accepted or bus/train tickets that aren't recognized either. As I understand it, I can't use the 90 days without buying a ticket I wouldn't use. As a European, there don't seem to be any "cancellation" tickets; as I understand, that only applies to US citizens. Do you have any tips on how best to do this? Is it best to fly to Malaysia? Or are there cheaper options? Is it possible to buy tickets through Expedia? (They are cancelable or flexible).

And another question: is it still possible to get a DTV from a dentist about braces?

I have a double citizenship and I will be applying with the swedish citizenship. In when filling in documents u should write country of birth and it is not sweden for me, and then u need to specify if u have an extra citizenship and which country. Has anyone experienced that double citizenship has influenced thai embassy decision about DTV vida or they have asked for more documents?
