Looking to apply in Hanoi as a remote worker. I recently started working remotely for a company based in Singapore and have all the required documents and 500K in my bank account.

As I just started this job though, and was previously travelling and had no income, I am worried of what will happen if they ask for 6 moths of payslips (which I have seen mentioned on this group a few times). Is it likely they will ask for proof of past income? Or will a contract and letter from employer with my current salary suffice?

DTV approved - 5 business days, 2 additional document requests. Submitted 02 Jan 2025. Approved approx. 4 hours after second document request.

I'm in Australia (a local), run my own company, did not have 500,000tbh in cash to show.

Financial evidence:

- Contents page (found this to be very helpful as my second document request was for the same thing as the first and I forgot to update the contents page)

- Sponsor letter from family member

- Driver's license of family member

- Evidence of the 500,000thb in their accounts (document request updates were for updated statements)

- My personal tax return summary for the last 2 lodged years.

- Company P&L for previous tax year as not yet lodged.

Employment evidence:

- Contents page

- ASIC Company Registration

- Shareholders register of company (showing I'm sole shareholder)

- ABR Company extract

- Letter from company approving remote work

- Employment contract for myself from company (this was an additional document request)

- Link to my company website

- Links to portfolio of existing clients/work.

Thanks to all the comments and answers to other questions in the group, really helped me get this done in record time. Hope the detail helps someone else out!

Any numbers on approved DTVs? I heard through November 50,000. So, I guess 60K+. Did they have a goal? It should be well over 100K in first year. Is there a breakdown by nationality? I was reading it was China 1 and Malaysia 2. Interesting but the us the same as the tourist visiting too.

Hello, is it possible to apply for a DTV visa while already on Thai territory?

Thank you!

Hi, im applying at HCMC and had financial documents requested twice. im a uk passport holder and have supplied evidence of an account with well over double the requested amount. anyone had this? please help

General down the line question:

What about re-submitting/recertification of the documents you originally applied with? Circumstances may change over the 5 years. Is there a requirement or timeline to resubmit/show them ?

Hello everyone, for the accommodation part, on the DTV visa, the adress or hotel name we mention, can it be a temporary one or it needs to be a permanent one ? Will they check ?

Question about 500k requirement.

Does the THB 500 balance have to be in the account each month for 3-6 month or is just ending balance ok?

I now have the required money in the account and don't want to wait 3-6 months.

I'm m looking to apply either in Cambodia or Vietnam.

Thank you.

I just visited my dentist here in Thailand to ask for the documents required for the DTV visa. They scheduled appointments for a 6-month treatment plan but didn’t ask me to pay anything upfront. Is that normal? I even asked if I could pay something in advance 😂.

The staff told me I could pay whatever amount I wanted 😂. How much would it be reasonable to pay upfront in this situation?

Hi everyone, currently on student visa but want to change to DTV. I read that i can only apply for the visa outside of thailand. After the student visa is cancelled how long i have to stay outside the country 60 days or 90? i always get confused.. Khop khun krap
