Does a 5yr dtv visa require 5yrs left on a passport?

Dtv experience Nepal

Hello everyone. Thanks for being super helpful in my DTV journey - so I wanted to share mine for others

I did my dtv in Nepal because I have always wanted to visit this country.. Not many experiences here so far so that part was a bit less clear but the process itself was smooth other than my natural tendency for anxiety 🙂

I did soft power using Discover Thai nature which is a program I’m really interested in and they have been incredibly helpful.

Nepali embassy was easy to reach via phone and supportive in my preparation . I have a US passport and I could apply in Nepal, but I think not every country is allowed so I recommend you check by calling

The biggest complication compared to other countries was that Nepal embassy asks plane tickets into and out of the country as well as accommodation booking. I attached these to my documents  without being asked for extra documents because I already knew from calling. The other complication is that they do not accept online payment - so you must get a manager’s cheque at IME bank using the QR code you get when you finish your application. It costs ₹50,000 to apply here. Then you must take the cheque to the embassy for application to be complete.

I applied on November 17 Monday. November 21st, Friday I got an email asking me to come in for an interview on November 24, Monday.

Interview was mostly about finances, but I was happy to share my intentions, short-term and long-term in Thailand. I was pretty nervous- but that’s my anxious nature 🙂 overall staff in Nepali embassy both Thai and Nepali were lovely.

I got my approval in less than two hours.

I am grateful for the opportunity to learn and live in Thailand. Good luck to everyone aiming for the same.

Hello all, I have a Non-O visa based on marriage with my 90-day stamp expiring on 22 December. I want to do the 1-year extension and tried to make a booking at CW online but there are no slots available in December. Is my only option to walk in? I did see slots available at Laksi, but from what I can see is that they will only do a short-term extension there? It's been a while since I've done the extension in country so any guidance is appreciated.

Currently doing my DTV with workaction.

I got a request to send "employment letter with detail of describe how it is your job to be for remote worker".

Here is the thing, my work thinks i'm going to do remote work from somewhere in Europe. I don't want to mention Thailand, because of envy and other reasons that will complicate my position.

Do the visa workers usually call in to your work to confirm the remote work?

If you receive income from multiple jobs/sources with the least being 2 sources, would you specify them all or just the main job for the application? Assume all jobs are remote.

What about highlting the income stream in the bank statement? Highlight only the main income or income from all jobs?

Are there official announcements that they won’t grant DTVs in the near future?

Hello, Im plannying to get DTV what soft power activity you recommed? I have my income but its not qualfiy for "remote work" so i need to think of other option maybe learn something new :) Any recommedations?

Cheers,

Mike

Hi all,

when applying for DTV under workation category how long do you need to hold a remote work to be granted visa? Am I good to go if I started this job in the previous month? Can you share your experiences?

Hello 👋 I am applying for the DTV visa this week, but my husband cannot apply together with me because he is on a business trip and when he returns, his passport will need to be renewed due to having less than six months validity. Is there a gender restriction for the primary DTV visa? And can the DTV Spouse Visa only be applied for by a wife?

We are concerned that the visa office might ask why my husband is applying for the spouse visa and potentially reject the application.

I just found out that the DTV Visa doesn’t limit the right to own a condo in Thailand.

If you planned to stay in Chiang Mai for 5 years

would you buy or rent?
