Hi, I am a remote worker, and I plan to apply for the DTV visa. I would like to inquire about the bank statement requirements—specifically, whether having a certain amount of money is mandatory. What happens if I don't meet the financial requirement? Am I still eligible to apply for the DTV visa?

Hanoi or HCMC?

Which one is quicker and more convenient to apply DTV?

Any recommendation please’🥹

I'm going to Thailand for 88 days. Upon arrival at the airport, I will receive a 60-day stay permit (I am a Polish citizen). Then, I plan to extend my stay by another 30 days at the immigration office.

I have two questions:

1. Can I apply for the extension online, or do I need to appear in person at the immigration office?

2. Regarding one of the required documents for the extension (TM30), will I be able to obtain it without issues, or could there be problems depending on where I stay?

The law states that the property owner should register me, but in practice, it varies. How can I ensure this process goes smoothly?

Applied on 25 for e visa (tourist, single entry) with Shanghai consulate. Pakistani passport. Still no response.

How much time it takes?

Hi everyone,

I’m getting everything ready to apply in a few days in HCM. I’ve started organizing my documents by combining the contracts and invoices into a single PDF for each company. For example, I’ve included the contract with Company 1 followed by all related invoices, then the contract with Company 2 and its invoices, and so on.

Is this the correct way to organize them?

Also, should I include the transfers from those companies (payments) to my business account in the same PDF, or should those be kept separate?

Lastly, I understand that I need to show proof of 500K in my personal bank account. Should that be submitted as a different PDF?

Thanks in advance for your guidance!

Approved! So happy lol

- Bought *1 way* ticket to HCM and an onward ticket reservation in event airline asked - they didn’t.

- Cancelled ED visa 1 month early. Took ~20 mins at Phuket immigration. Flew the next day.

- Applied late 24th Dec (Muay Thai from a gym in Phuket)

- My Thai address is a bit complicated as it’s just a room owned by a restaurant owner. I copied the address from TM30/47 (although technically it is wrong)

- Put the flight back around 2-3 weeks later. Forgot exact.

- Used first PDF merger and compressed for documents.

- Took 1 photo that included the hotel receipt (Just realised the receipt was just 1 day as I wasn’t sure on the hotel. Probably risky but worked), my passport stamp and the flight booking. On this document I also included a photo of my literally standing next to the hotel lol.

- Receieved additional documents request on 2nd Dec asking for 6 months bank transactions. I used same merger tool and sent around 50-60 pages of 2 banks. One with 500k the whole time and another with 500k the week before.

- Approved today 6th Jan — 10-12 WD’s?

Thank you everyone for all your help. More than happy to answer any Q’s!

DTV extension update!

First of all, yes everyone knows that we can fly out for another 180 days. But there may be people like me who would just extend cos we want it this way. And it’s for me to decide. No need any suggestions on what i should do. I’m only here to share the updates for DTV extension based on my visit to immigration today.

1. Your bank statement. You MUST have that 500k in your bank account for minimum one month. They asked me to bring my updated bank book too. They are extremely particular about that and they took a good amount of time to check in details.

2. Your professional portfolio. (It can vary if you applied with different route. But for my case i applied as a freelanced digital nomad.) So you must prepare a document stating what have you done during that 180 days in Thailand and what you will do in the next 180 days IN DETALS. Otherwise, it’s a no.

3. TM30 is also needed to be updated.

4. Visa extension fees is 1900. Yes, it’s confirmed.

No, i wasn’t fit to extend this time. But my visa is due in the mid of February. So will try again next month. 😁

hello! I’m currently in Thailand. to apply for the online dtv, where do i have to be physically? Vietnam/Indonesia?

Hi guys!

I just got my DTV approved, but my visa came back with my name switched. We koreans only have a first and last name, no middle name. So i didnt fill this part. DTV comes out with my first name backwards. And even beforehand i had sent emails to visathaiembassy.kl @gmail.com to no reply and when i went to the thai embassy here the Malay lady just shouted at me saying she cant do jack 😭🥹 does anyone know what can be done? Or does anyone know where i can get a reply from?

Thanks guys, love peace and harmony 🙏

Hi everyone, thank you for your inputs.

I got my DTV (Workcation Visa) today!

Applied from Dubai (UAE) using the online portal on Jan 2nd.

Got my Visa on Jan 6th.

No questions or additional docs requested.

I own my company and I am self employed here. I can work remotely. So this is a great way to explore the country 🙂

If you guys got any questions lmk, happy to contribute :)
