Question if anyone has experience about applying for a DTV using an agent through the soft power option. As some reports coming back for people extending DTV at immigration in Thailand are being asked to provide documents proving original application. Does anyone have information specific to Chiang Mai immigration or do you think soft power via agent will mean leaving Thailand every 6 months. Thanks

How's TVS Visa services in Pattaya? Are they reputable? I'm on the DTVand I've asked them to help me open up a bank account.

Hi, 90 day reporting questions:

Do I have to go to the office that's in the district that I'm staying in? The reason I ask is that I'm in Bangkok but I just went to book an online appointment and there is nothing available for 2 weeks. The first appointment available is day 97 for me. I realize you can file 7 days beyond the 90 without penalty, but that's leaving it close?

I know I don't need an appointment, but there's nothing worse than having to wait 4-6 hours at Chaeng Wattana.

So I thought going to Samut Sakhon would be much more convenient (my GF drives there every day for work) and not likely very busy. But is this acceptable?

If not, should I book day 97 for online appt. or take my chances just showing up at CW?

Hello all. Does anyone know which bank I can go to in Chiangmai to open a bank account with DTV?

Hi everyone may i ask has anyone has been rejected the DTV visa all the documents I apply is correct and as the check list there is no more documents asking or anything just rejection email

Hi asking for some advice, sor for a long post

I’m in the process of a divorce with my thai wife, we lived outside Chiang Mai near Doisaket so now have to start all over again, don’t really have much in Australia

I have to change visa’s as marriage visa no longer an option so considering this visa as a possibility but not sure

I work offshore on ships in Australia/ worldwide (mainly Australia) 4 on/ 4 off & want to stay living in Thailand as have been here for around 12yrs & have been seeing a doctor since August 24 for some serious health conditions (heart) & diabetes

Not sure if DVT or LVR is best? DVT is cheaper but not sure if I would qualify under workcation as technically I work remotely on ships in Australia or worldwide but not a digital nomad

Under soft options I could use my medical treatment but does the doctors need to be accepted/registered through /with this visa?

LTR initially 5 times the amount, 10 year visa, I meet the salary conditions under the “work from Thailand professional” can work for a Thai company, have health cover fo US$50K

Any advice if offshore would pass as work remotely or not for the workcattion & the soft option for my medical conditions & if any doctor can be used or if they have to be part of a conglomerate (BKK hospital or similar private system ect)

I have a DTV visa and my husband and kids have the dependent DTV visa. We happen to have flights that are exactly ON the 90th day in Thailand. Do we still have to do 90-day reporting?

I would like to thank this group for helping me get approved for the DTV. visa for remote worker without need for additional documents. I didn’t get the Visa by email. I had to download it from the website. If you did not get your email, there is a function on the website where you can download it.

I submitted the visa application to the Royal Thai embassy of Los Angeles on January 6, 2025. It was issued today.

The expected wait time was three weeks.

Here is what I included

-A letter authorizing remote work in Thailand, which I actually forgot to sign

-A letter with the links to all of my advertisements related to my remote work, including my website

-My professional résumé and link LinkedIn

-Screenshots of my website and advertisements that I have created

-Photographe

-Drivers license with current address

-Voter Registration with current address

IRS letter with current address

-Six months of bank statements with ฿500,000 baht, front page only

-The original IRS letter with the tax ID number for my company that was issued to me

-The companies’s articles of organization

-Registration from the Secretary of State that I downloaded from the website from the year of 2023

So yesterday, I was reading that someone stated that specifically they needed to put that they were not to work in Thailand and I had forgotten that, and upon looking at my letter, I forgot to sign it. Since I own the company as a single member, I had to write the letter to myself from myself.

So I added the letter I signed it. I sent it to the visa department and I woke up this morning and I got no email and I got a message from their line information that they would ask for it if they needed it.

I went over to the website where my applications were, I clicked on the tab, and I noticed that it had been approved

I did not get the email however I nobody responded when I emailed, but I noticed it on the left toolbar. There is a function where you can download the visa and now I have it.

I did not have to submit any salary or statements of transfer or show any of the detail of the statements, they approved it based on my tax return, and my letter with the stated annual salary

Thank you to anybody that has answered my questions in this group. You’ve been very helpful, I was able to get this and not any less than the time prescribed, I didn’t have to submit anything additional.

DTV Approved! US Citizen.

Filed in USA through LA Consulate

Filed Dec 7 Workcation

Asked for additional docs Dec 13, sent same day.

* Other request documents: Your recent tax return

* Other request documents: Business registration of the company

* Other request documents: Employment contract or employment certificate from company

Didn't hear anything until I called on Jan 13. I fly Jan 20, so was getting nervous. They said call back Jan 15. I called this morning (the 15th) and they said they'd expedite it but no promises. 6 hours later it was approved. Lots of relief!

Thanks to all in the group for your help!

This is the list from the embassy in KL regarding documents required for DTV.

I’d like to use the soft power option but noticed them asking for a payslip (which I don’t have, only passive income and bank account with required balance)

Is that the same at other embassies?

(note: currently in Thailand, planning on going to Malaysia to apply)

Any advice?
