If I'm approved and back to Thailand, how many days do I have to activate the DTV if my current visa is still good? And to activate it will I have to go back to the issuing country and back to Thailand again to activate?

Hi guys.

Can I appy for the dtv in any country or just Southeast Asian countries?

Does anyone has the list of documents for the application?

Thanks!

Can a web design freelancer successfully obtain a DTV visa if they have a web portfolio but no clients (as of yet). I'm a web developer who'd like to switch to web design freelancing once I reach Thailand. However, I don't have any clients yet; just my freelancing website and two spec sites I've created (which look quite professional, if I do say so myself). If I apply and include screenshots of my three websites in a PDF when applying for a DTV, what are the chances I'll be approved without a first client? I should add that I can more than meet the financial requirements. Thanks.

Hello everyone , Can i do the DTV visa process when iam arrived in Thaïlande... After have the first 60 days of free visa ... Thank you

If one is staying more than 90 days on DTV visa then the reporting to immigration office is strictly on the 90th day or the day after? What happens in case those are holidays in Thailand? Can someone who knows the rules kindly clarify ? Thanks

Double success story from KL! I'm so happy to finally be able to make this post. Hopefully, it will help people intending to use the Kuala Lumpur embassy for their DTV.

I used the soft power (medical treatment) route for my DTV. Initially provided a 3-month treatment plan, bank statements for 6 months, passport, photo, etc. After 6 business days, they requested additional documents:

* All passport pages including empty ones

* 1-year treatment plan

* letter from the hospital "that you have conditions that specifically require medical treatment in Thailand"

I requested these from the hospital and they were very kind to respond quickly, so I uploaded the additional documents on the following day. After 5 business days my DTV was approved, total waiting time a little over 2 weeks.

It was time to start the process for my wife, which I expected to be faster and more straightforward...

She applied for DTV the same day I got mine, selecting the spouse route, provided the basic docs and our marriage cert. After 5 business days, additional documents were requested:

* All passport pages including empty ones

* Proof of prolonged residence in Thailand for at least 6 months, such as a condominium rental agreement, lease agreement etc.

* A copy of the company's registration/business license and employment contract of the main visa applicant - A professional portfolio showcasing digital nomad, remote worker of the main visa applicant.

Luckily, we already had the rental agreement, but the last one was a bit confusing. In its place we submitted a document with a cover page explaining that I got my DTV for a medical treatment and provided all related docs. After 6 business days, she got her visa, again the total waiting time was about 15-16 calendar days.

After listing the facts, I want to share some personal thoughts:

* You may want to reconsider the medical route in KL if you don't have a valid medical condition requiring a one-year treatment and arrangements in place with a hospital ready to provide you with all the paperwork.

* As you see, they might request seemingly unrelated things, but be ready to just work with them and you will get to the finish line. Maybe it is best not to argue or ask questions, just give them the requested documents.

* Waiting time is obviously longer than other options in Asia, waiting for weeks while reading how people get approved in days or even hours was not fun. We had enough time so it wasn't a problem for us, plan accordingly.

* Some of the additional documents requested were unexpected. Some people may use the word "strict" to describe their policy; read my case and decide for yourself.

I want to thank all of you who contribute here, this group has been a great source of information!

I need some advise. I have purchased a one bedroom apartment in Bangkok for Thai bhats 1,500,000/- (aprox US$ 50,000/-)

If I want a permenant visa what do I have to do. ? Everytime I visit Bangkok on my US passport they give me 30 days only.

Please advise how to apply for a permanent visa where I can stay as long as I like and not worry about restrictions of days of stay in Thailand. Thanks in advance for all your help.

I'm in Thailand on a DTV.

How do I use the Thai QR to pay for a fruit shake 🤔

Hey guys, I’m interested to move to Thailand and do some business there. Can anyone suggest the easiest and quickest way to do so. Also how much investment do I need to show if I’m planning to take this business visa route. Thanks in advance.

Some visa questions (and thanks very much in advance)

My family and I are starting the process of moving from Nevada to Hua Hin. My wife is a Thai citizen and my 19 year old daughter was born in Bangkok. We moved back to the USA when my daughter was 2 years old so the only Thai ID we have for her is her birth certificate and she has a US passport. My mother and I are American.

Questions: For my daughter, do we need to go to the consulate in Los Angeles to get her a Thai passport, or can she just get a 90 day visa online with my mom and me and then get Thai ID after she gets to Thailand, or can she just show her birth certificate and get a visa on arrival without a return ticket?

How long does it take to get the online 90 day visa, and do we have to wait for my mom to get her US passport to apply.

Would rather not go to LA if possible, long drive, hotel stays, etc But also don't want to have to buy round trip tickets.

Thanks so much!
