DTV APPROVED!

I applied through e-visa in Indonesia on 02/01 03:00 after I landed. Approved on Monday 06/01 13:00.

I applied as a freelance writer. Provided them with official business registration from my home country, 2 letters from employers stating I have worked for them and will continue to do so remotely. Also gave them screenshots of my website, social media, resume, and examples of my work.

Current address: An exit stamp of Thailand, entry stamp + visa for Indonesia, hotel booking.

I also gave them 3 months statement of my savings account and my 2022 invoices overview, and a signed contract for some work I'm doing right now.

PS: Jakarta is the worst city I have ever been to in my life (I am well traveled person). I got robbed by three men on a motorbike and got sick due to air pollution. The food is very bad and the city smells and is unhygienic. 2 other people in my hotel got their phones stolen as well. So I run away to Bali after 2 days.

Good luck with your application and thank you all for sharing your tips and tricks.

Onward ticket questions -

I am traveling to thailand and I am not sure how long I will be staying, but it will be around 30 days.

For visa on arrival, I need an onward ticket? Any of those "onwardticket.com" websites legit? Any actual experience?

For tourist visa, do I need an onward ticket also?

I am undecided how long I will stay so I don't want to book a plane ticket early until I am ready to leave.

May I ask for help regarding the 90 days report?

My and my husband are both on DTV (not that it matters) and we need to do the 90 days report

My question is do we need to go ourselves or can we use an agent?

Also if we need to go ourselves, can my husband go for both of us?

I am 5 months pregnant and would rather avoid the drive back and forth feom Koh Lanta to Krabi.

Thank you

I signed a contract in the school and 1 month later they gave me the immigration documents with the papers that i signed but... It's not my handwriting and neither my signature... Is this contract still valid if they did that?

My marriage visa is expiring on Jan 28. A couple of questions.

I will leave and re-enter the country as I need to redeposit the 400k.

1. Will I need 2 or 3 months after depositing 400kthb to reapply for the marriage visa?

2. Do I need to notify immigration to cancel the visa before I leave.

Successfully got a certificate of residence for driving license. Immig Div 1, Bangkok.

Saw a number of posts about this and sharing the list of requirements. In my case previous 90-day report was not available since I leave every month. So needed to also photocopy evidences from the passport that I never spent more than 90 days in Thailand - so departure and arrival stamps throughout the period.

The TM30 also needs to ideally match your LATEST arrival date. Since I did not know this I had to request from the landlady on the spot and it can only be dated within 24 hours. This was accepted.

I have been working as a freelancer for twelve years and do not have a work contract with any of my clients. Does this present a problem when applying to get a DTV visa considering their work contract requirements? As a translator of content that is used along with colleagues' written content, the type of work I do also does not lend itself to providing portfolio examples.

My AI bot offered the following alternatives, but I would like human feedback before I go ahead and "throw away $300". Thanks.

My husband and I are flying to Cambodia next week where we plan to apply for the DTV online. Has anyone tried to apply online? How long did it take? We plan to spend a month in Siem Reap before going back to Bangkok.
