Hi everyone! I’d love to get your thoughts on something. I’m based in Germany and work for a company that allows me to work remotely from many countries for up to 30 days (around 6 weeks) per year. Unfortunately, Thailand is currently on their list of restricted countries for remote work.

I checked with HR and they said that if I were to get the DTV visa, I *would* be allowed to work from Thailand. My contract states that my official place of work is Berlin, and the 30-day remote work allowance isn’t mentioned in the contract itself.

Given all this, do you think I stand a good chance of being approved for the DTV visa?

Thanks in advance for your input!

Took only 4 BUSINESS DAYS, from Thai Embassy in HANOI. Amazingly short time, I couldn't be happier!

Went for the 6-month cooking class from "House of Taste Thai Cooking" (Bangkok) and I decided to go for a visa agent, as I have a long history of different visas in Thailand and was afraid not to be granted the DTV for this reason.

French passport here, started with border runs, then an ED visa, then some Tourist visas, and even despite owning a TV, I was stopped at Suvarnabhumi airport by the immigration agent for coming in & out too often, so I then decided to go for an expensive Elite / Privilege visa. That was 6 years ago, just before the Covid era.

Last week, instead of renewing my Elite visa (as I didn't see any rational reason for paying that much - 50x more, at least - for it, except maybe for being able to open some bank accounts), I simply went for the 'new' DTV and I have absolutely no regret! Applied on a Wednesday, approved on a Monday.

Good Luck to EVERYONE, Peace! :)

I applied DTV on 20th on Cambodia and still it's pending approval for 21 days already. How can I know how long do I have to wait more? I'm stressed.

Hey ya'll....quick question for the DTV. The application asks for accommodation and flight info. Do I need to actually book or can I just put what I'm planning on?

Thanks all!

Hi πŸ‘‹ can you confirm it is still possible to apply for a non immigrant O retirement visa (1 year) from within Thailand by following this process:

1. enter Thailand on a tourist visa

2. then apply for 90 day Non Immigrant visa

3. during the 90 day period then applying for the 12 month retirement visa with necessary supporting docs including bank confirmation of 800,000 baht and proof of residence

Hi! What happens to your DTV visa if you get laid off from your job?

My work has been heavily financially impacted by the tariff changes. What happens to your 5 year DTV visa if you lose your job during that time? It’s getting harder to find remote work.

Hello!! I’m a semi-retired Canadian high school teacher with a TEFL certificate heading to Hua Hin in August. I would like to do some teaching with Thai students. Should I just go on a tourist visa and apply for a work visa, if I’m offered a job? Or do I need to have a work visa just to apply for a job? I would prefer the option that is not going to land me in a Thai jail!!πŸ˜†
