I’m living in Chiang Mai with my wife and our four children, all on DTVs. 90 days for us is next Thursday. Online isn’t available for the first report, and I opted to try in-person to see if it was as easy as I had been told. It was. I asked another expat for advice and was told to take passports, TM30s, and completed TM47s. I also took a print-out of our house lease agreement but wasn’t asked to show it. I didn’t take passport photocopies. I got to the drive-up window not long before 1:00; it was closed for lunch between 12 and 1. Several minutes later the window opened, and I gave the officer the stack of six passports (with TM47s loose and TM30s attached inside each one). It took him about three minutes to process all six of them and issue printed receipts. Please note that this is my experience in Chiang Mai today; no guarantee that this will work exactly the same in other places or at a later date. Also: our passports are stamped through Feb. 19, but, because I went in a week early for 90-day reporting (you can do it between 15 days before and 7 after the 90-day mark), the receipts show that we need to report again 90 days from today (Feb. 11), not 90 days from the 90th day (Feb. 19). So, if one wants to schedule a 180-day border bounce very close to a visa stamp date, don't report ahead of the 90-day date like I did unless you want to report twice before leaving the country.

DTV as a remote worker - weekly minimum hours required?

Hi All, sorry if this has already been covered elsewhere but I did a search here and couldn't find an answer, also on the Thai Embassy Canberra website this question isn't specifically addressed.

If applying for a DTV as a remote worker, is there a minimum number of hours you are required to work a week/minimum income required per week?

I have more than the required savings of 500,000 TBH in my bank account.

Does anyone also know if you haven't got a remote work contract in place at the time of application, it would be recommended to apply through the soft power route, and then try to secure online work while in Thailand (with an Australian company) and swap over the category of the DTV? I would be applying from Australia, and would preferably like to be earning some income via remote work while in Thailand.

Any advice on this would be very much appreciated! 🙂

Everything looks good.

But the Canada embassy requested two more documents.

The license for the clinic, and Thai ID of the doctor.

I assume they want to assure it’s a real clinic

So far the doctor doesn’t want to give ID because of possible scam And also they don’t want to scan business license but someone can come in and take photo of it.

I didn’t expect these issues from this clinic. So I’m not sure what I am going to do next.

I certainly can’t give up, this is my second time applying because the first one I made a mistake!

Anyone get a DTV with a medical appointment? A cosmetic procedure I was interested in, is $12,000 in the U.S.. $2500 in BKk. At Bumrungrad. Is Thailand offering DTV visas for single medical treatments? E-visa website in the US a little unclear on the issue.

Thanks

Hi everyone.I will go to Vietnam to apply for DTV as a remote worker this weekend.

Can anyone recommend me which consulate should I go to？Hanoi or HCM？

I have prepared my employee contract,the guarantee letter and my company license, as well as a bank statement with a balance of 500,000 baht..

Thank you in advance.🙏

Came to Jakarta the day prior to submitting - 10/10.

Had 6 months of financials - they actually gave me back 4 months said only needed 2, but more is always better in this case imo.

Soft power documents- in my case Muay Thai

Documentation of flights in and out of Indonesia and accommodation

5.6m idr

And copy of passport with all stamps and bio page

Application filled out, signed and photos stapled already

I arrived at 645, the first person arrived at 3am straight from the airport. I was in and out before 10am my time at the window was literal minutes I had everything ready to go; was told to come back Thursday 10/14 and given a slip.

Retrieved it today and I did not see ANY rejections out of the 30ish people I talked too, so all applied for various reasons from soft power to medical to digital nomad.

Hope this is helpful they will close in person the 21st so if are considering I would book a flight asap

Cheers.

Now this is a single report only so take it as that - a single anecdote. It is not confirmed policy and may be only a single bank manager implementing it at their branch.

In another thread about taxation in another group a guy tried to open a bank account yesterday and was told he needed a TIN (Tax Identification Number).

If this becomes standard bank policy the cat will be truly among the pigeons - especially for those on visas other than DTV.

If I am on the DTV; in 180 days would I have to submit all the same paperwork as before? Or do a border run every 150 days and just get restamped?

Which asean countries offer walk in application in dec? Will only be able to apply in dec…

I applied for my DTV while in the UK 3 weeks before my flight date. It was still processing on my flight date so I arrived in Thailand on a visa exemption for 60 days.

My DTV has now been approved and emailed to me but I’m already inside Thailand for 1 week so far.

Can I just fly out and in a nearby country to have my DTV activated or do I need to fly from the UK again?
