Hi, wanted to share my experience applying for a Destination Thailand Visa, DTV online at the Munich Thai Consulate. The visa got appreoved today.

I applyed early September. Besides the normal documents I uploaded a copy of my Gewerbeanmeldung (business registration) and a recent statement of my fonds depot.

The first was accepted promtly, the later was rejected. They wanted a bank statement showing at least 12,500€ on the account. After it took me a few days to put the wanted amount into my account, I provided the statement. After that it took about another 1 and 1/2 weeks until the visa was finally approved.

Hey I have a South African passport, do I need a visa to go to Bangkok on holiday?

Does anyone has experience applying for an DTV Visa in Jakarta as German passport holder?

Hey all

Looking to apply for digital nomad 5 year visa for my fiancé and me and my daughter as a dependent. But I am wondering if the amount that needs to be prooved is all together or do we need to proove that amount separately?

I am also wondering if my fiance can apply for his and when we are married we can apply for ours (marriage is a month or two before we fly) and roughly how long it takes. Not sure if I should start the process yet or not, as we are aiming to leave to travel around March times.

Finally, does anyone know of any agencies I can go through?

Thank you!

Today I got my DTV visa approved in Taipei, Taiwan! It was very smooth. I highly suggest coming here. I gave last month bank statement plus of course all the other docs that proved I work remotely. If you have any question I am happy to answer some but please do not ask nonsense stuff!

Does anyone know of reputable cooking schools that offer DTV? I looked at a couple schools in BKK, and I actually want to learn how to cook Thai food, and I also want to move to Thailand. I saw one school that offered a DTV-eligible 2 week cooking class for 40,000 baht. Is that reasonable?

Question for people who have brought pets to Thailand from USA. I was wondering what the process was like with airlines + Bangkok airport regarding pet docs. We’ve been planning to bring our two cats (indoor, never go outside) and had read through all the requirements (shots, import permit, health certificate, etc.) but just recently had our process brought to a halt by the vet that we had gone to originally.

We leave in less than two weeks but now the vet is saying they won’t do the health certificate unless we go get another round of shots and then wait 21 days, which is past our departure date and all of our flights + accomodations are non-refundable and already booked.

We have certificates and receipts of their vaccinations for rabies + feline panleukemia from last month but it seems like there’s a chance that even with a new vet we might not be able to get the health certificate in time.

From what I read about most things in thailand, it sounds like certain laws are followed very strictly while others are more loosely followed / can be solved with paying a fee and talking and I was curious what it’s like for pet import. Thanks in advance.
