I have a question regarding the DTV application under the workcation category.

I’ve been living in Thailand for the past 6 years on a Non-B visa while working full-time, but my visa will be canceled on January 31st. Then, I’m planning to apply for DTV from Ho Chi Minh in early Feb.

I plan to provide employment documents from two companies that I’ve worked with intermittently. However, since these are my friend’s companies and I haven’t received a formal salary, I’m wondering if it’s okay to create new employment contracts starting February 1st to show it as a new opportunity?

For proof of funds and bank statements etc., I'm planning to provide salary slips from my full-time job for the past 6 months.

I hope that makes sense! Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I applied for my dtv 2 days ago in Germany, Frankfurt and today I saw they not only charged me the regular price for the visa but also 45,99€ extra costs for whatever. Additionally there are another 45,99€ reserved payments in my bank account. Anyone know what that’s for? I tried calling them but no one answers the phone though I called during office hours.

## DTV approved but with error.

I'm italian holding an italian passport, living in Malta. Just got my DTV approved but in the vista it's stated:

Passport / TD: Malta

I assume it should be Italy.

Nationality is correct though.

Trying to call the embassy but no reply now.

Is this going to be an issue?

Was any DTV Holder a Thai-Tax resident (over 180d in country)? What are your tax plans? Since they know all your income in detail.

Maybe there is no answer to this… to get a medical DTV you need a doctors approval of some sort. Assume you have a legit issue for the visa, how is a doctor in thailand supposed to know it’s legit and can therefore sign the letter? Am I understanding right when i say the doctors letter almost necessitates a visit to thailand? So youd see the doctor, hed confirm your condition and that perhaps you need minimum say 6 months of appointments.

Hey all! Just got a request for extra docs re: portfolio as I'm a video editor and the embassy staff said they were unable to access the links I provided (checked before I submitted, they were fine my end!) Have any other video editors experienced this? I think I'll send back a portfolio with a pdf slideshow of some screenshots from relevant videos instead with descriptions of the work I did, but if anyone else has any suggestions I am open!

Hi,

Has anyone experience with getting a new passport when reentering Thailand with dtv visa? How is it to handle with the Thai embassy? Because of the passport number and issue dates
