I had an approved DTV visa, which I applied for in Ho Chi Minh City. However, when I entered Thailand, immigration noticed that my DTV had a typo in the passport number, it didn’t match the number on my actual passport.

As a result, I was granted a tourist visa on arrival. The immigration officers at the airport were unsure how to resolve the issue.

Earlier today, I emailed the Thai embassy that issued the visa, and I’ve also scheduled an appointment with the Thai embassy in Bangkok later this week. I’m looking for any advice or information on how best to proceed.

My apologies, my previous post wasn’t clear. It’s been a hectic day. Thanks for the advice.

Hi everyone,

I applied for the 5-year DTV as a Cyprus tax resident (Non Domicile) and company owner, but mistakenly selected UAE as my current location because Cyprus has no embassy and I thought that field only chose the processing embassy.

I submitted all Cyprus-based docs, then got asked to provide UAE documents. I need to know if I can fix the existing application to reflect Cyprus instead, or if I must reapply (and pay again).

Also: I am a Non Domicile (60 days) in Cyprus. I have no residency card—can I use rental agreement + utility bills + tax residency proof? And is a shareholder certificate enough to prove my business status? I'm not employed, my only source of income is through dividends being a shareholder and director of my company.

Did anyone have this situation? What's my best collection of papers to get the visa?

Hi everyone 👋

Thai embassy in Laos requested to certify the bank statement at the embassy, Has anyone encountered this? or knows what exactly they want? 🤷🏽‍♀️

And How many days does it usually take to schedule an interview? Could I go to Thailand while wait appointment to interview?

Thank you so much in advance 🙏

Hi everyone,

I entered Thailand on a tourist visa, and after arriving I received approval for the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa).

In a few days, my 60-day tourist visa will expire, and I’m planning to go to Laos to renew it.

Is it problematic to leave and re-enter Thailand with the DTV already approved?

I’d really appreciate any insights or experiences.

Hello guys !

Hello All, Just a quick question ? i am on a Non O ret visa, i have just returned from a short trip from UK, with my re-entry stamp, Dose the 90 day reporting start new from the new date of arrival or continual as per the 90days paper clipped in my passport. regards Kell.

For annual Non-O retirement extensions at CW, does immigration accept the black & white printed version of the 12 month bank statement requested for free via the Bangkok Bank app and sent to your email? Or does one need the 12 month bank statement on original blue letterhead requested at a Bangkok Bank branch for Baht 200 which takes a week to process? Many thanks.

I applied for the DTV in Hanoi about a week ago. Can I travel to central Vietnam (which is linked to HCMC embassy, not Hanoi) while I wait for the visa to be processed, or do I have to stay around Hanoi?

Maybe this is useful for DTV holders.

I had to Pick up someone at bkk airport and went to the kasikorn Exchange booth to obtain one of those travel prepaid Debit cards that also allows QR payment. Heres what I learned:

You need foreign currency with you to Open an Account. I only had thb but they let me exchange 30 baht to 1 USD which was fine. The lady helped me to install the Application called tagthai which contains the scan to pay Feature. After talking a bit with her, she told me that QR pay only works when the Receiver is a Business. In my Experience, this means no payment at most bars and markets, as they use private Accounts to receive money. I went up one floor and bought a whopper with my balance which worked fine. The Application is a bit disappointing that you can’t top up with a credit card. Only in a kasikorn branch. So in short: the card is easy to get with no long term visa. Just passport and foreign currency is enough. The use cases are pretty Limited though. I just got one to try as i have a Thai Account since it was easy to get. I will try to add the card to shoppee which doesn’t like any of my foreign cards 🤣 Hope this was helpful and I have not tested it but I believe my condo water bill goes to a Business Account and therefore should work for this. Cheers na

To everyone considering applying for the DTV.

Please set aside a good chunk of time (hours if necessary) just for filling out the application online (apart from document / cover letter prep).

If you're even 10% unsure on any part, make sure to reach out for help or consult the guide/manual material provided.

10,000 baht is a lot of money to lose for silly mistakes, such as inputting a middle name when your middle name isn't even on your passport.
