Was issued a my DTV a few days ago and just wanted to update the group as I found a lot of the info on here helpful. So hopefully my experience might help others when applying.

Applied for the visa at the thai embassy in London on 8th of Dec (Sunday morning). Went with workcation visa based on remote work. Submitted the usual docs. Passport, photo, used driving licence for proof of location, bank statement with 500k thb (statement dates from start of Dec to the 6th), and a letter from my employer confirming that they were happy for me to work remotely and they support my application.

On Monday they asked for additional docs. They wanted a better copy of my passport and photo. Plus a copy of my work contract and an e-ticket showing my name and departure dates from the UK. My work provided a temporary flight reservation but never confirmed the booking, which I thought might be an issue and I supplied the rest.

On Thursday afternoon I received my 5 year visa.

Does anyone have experience with or know of any embassy rejecting a DTV application due to low income as a remote worker? I have a bank balance exceeding 500,000 THB and a part-time contract. As far as I know, this visa's approval does not depend on income, but I’m concerned that the embassy might focus on the low salary and reject the application based on that.

I have everything uploaded/filled out but each time I try to pay it gives me an error. Tried two different cards days apart. This is for Vietnam Application online. Anyone who has had this problem how did you fix it?

Edit: Visa Fraud Monitoring. The website enters a default hong address on the back end thet wont match your real address so cards with strict fraud monitoring may reject it. I was able to get my bank to disable fraud monitoring just long enough to make the payment then turn it back on. Went through right away.

Hello

I am Burmese coming to Laos to apply for tourist visa after staying in Thailand for 14 days (visa free).

When I planned to leave Thailand from Nong Khai, Thai immigration officer denied me to leave by land and told me to take flight.

I had to go back to Bangkok, took a flight, came to Laos and applied for TR visa.

So, I am wondering if I enter Thailand again this time, do I need to take flight or can I cross by land? Thanks in advance.

I will be staying at a friends house for a month or so whilst I search for a perminate address. In order to open a bank account ( I have non-o visit Thai family visa) can I just present a TM30 from my friends house, no residency certificate?

I am planning on opening the bank account at Bangkok Bank headoffice in Silom rd. Bangkok.

I’m from Australia, I have visited Thailand three times in 2024 on a free Tourist  Visa.

Just back in Oz on December 14 

Heading back there on January 3 2025.

Am I in danger of being denied entry for too many trips?

If so, what would be the easiest option for a 60 day stay without needing money in a tight bank account.

Would appreciate any helpful advice 🙏😁
