Just at Phuket airport flying out to HCM and got questioned a bit, apparently (Phuket) immigration could have processed the DTV if already in Thailand on a valid ED visa? Explained to her we need to be out the country etc etc, she went off to double check but insisted they can/could have processed.

Given she spoke fluent English, seems unlikely to have been a miscommunication/misunderstanding. Anyone heard of this before?

On DTV, what do you need to take to immigration for your first 90 day reporting?

I missed the 90 day reporting because I looked at the wrong stamp on my passport. 90 days was supposed to be 12 Dec . I fly out 27 December. Should I still go to immigration in bkk or just fly out?

Help Needed - Land Crossing

I exited Thailand on a Tourist visa recently. Immigration pulled me aside and said I cannot cross again. I don't know why because I have never entered or exited Thailand by land before and have just one Tourist visa stamp. I had a marriage visa prior but let that expire and hopped on a tourist visa before doing the necessary for the DTV.

I secured my DTV. I have the physical stamp in my passport now.

Does anyone know if I'll have problems crossing by land now that I have a DTV visa in my passport?

I had some say I've been flagged and it matters now that I don't cross by land again but I can't believe it's true unless I was trying for a tourist visa on arrival.

I am one happy camper!

Hi there,

got my DTV visa (for me and my family) through the embassy in London. How does it work when I arrive in Thailand?

Can I show them my visa on my phone? And what other documents do they want to see? Valid Passport is clear, but do I need a return ticket?

Finally! DTV approved in Taipei via Workcation/Freelancer

It was more difficult than I anticipated but I managed to deal with the grilling and unexpected interview.

Applied in person last Friday morning, told to come back at 3pm for approval or rejection. On arrival 3pm was told the supervisor wanted an interview. After an anxious hour wait, the supervisor said she just wanted to clarify my employment. After a few mins of explanation and small talk she told me to come back today for the final decision.

Docs submitted

Typed Application Form

Cover letter detailing reasons for applying.

Bank Certificate of balance in GBP with 500K THB conversion detailed. The officer was not happy with just the certificate and told me she wanted the see the balance transactions and would not process the application without the relative bank statements. I had to rush back to my hotel to print them out. Luckily, I chose a hotel a 10 min walk away.

Also submitted 2 other investment account statements with GBP balance/THB conversion.

Portfolio – CV, focused only on online employment, Client appreciation emails I received and a sample of work.

Submitted 3 contracts. One rejected as it recently started but no payment received. The officer wanted to see 6 months of payments from current work.

Contract 1 – Letter from the President supporting my application, certificate of employment, work contract.

6 months of bank statements with the salary deposits highlighted with a THB conversion. Company registration and company brochure. 2023 income and tax statement

Contract 2 – Certificate of employment, work contract. Company online work guidelines. 6 months of bank statements with salary deposits highlighted with a THB conversion. 2023 income and tax statement. Attempted to submit a company brochure but it was rejected, not sure why.

The original certificate of employment and contracts were in Japanese. English translated versions were also submitted which I did myself and were not notarized.

For those applying in Taiwan over the last remaining walk-in days be prepared to argue in a polite way your case.

Thanks to everyone for the tips!
