Hello, I want to ask if I can apply DTV at Lao Vientiane Embassy with sponsorship letter? Has anyone experienced?

I'm a DJ planning to play at some commercial and non commercial events in Thailand. Do I need to apply for any type of work visa? Even if I choose not be paid?

Thanks

I'm thinking about OPENING BUSINESS under my wife name and she grants me work visa so then I'll fulfill the citizenship requirements for 3 years working and paying taxes, if done for next 3 years ? Is it possible? As I'm a freelancer work remotely so can't fulfill this rule

Hello

Anyone here has LTR visa ?

Hello everyone - excellent group for advise. Time for me to ask: my wife and I are coming to retire in Thailand in November. Can anyone recommend Thai Visa Expert as an agent, or can you recommend a worthwhile alternative? Many thanks.

Hey ✌️, im on an ED Visa in Thailand for around 6 Months now. So best way is to go to Cambodia for example, apply for the DTV and come back? Online inside Thailand is not possible? Cheers 🍻

Approved for DTV for hubby, son (Spanish) and myself (Singaporean) 2 days before flying out. We almost gave up after many documents requested and submitted. Applied in Mexico.

On the day it was approved, we had an interview with the consul. She was very nice and friendly and asked many questions to verify all of the submitted documents. Basically she wanted to make sure that we are financially covered for the duration of the 5 years DTV visa.

The appt. was at 11.30am and we got the visa at 4pm. We started the process in July but because it took us quite a while to get the information it dragged on until yesterday when we had the interview. Made a mistake first by dropping by the embassy thinking we can walk in but requires an appt.

Anyway, we applied as workcation through the company that was registered in Singapore. Finally do happy I can post the good news here!!!

Good luck to all those applying and grateful it came out just after we decided to move to Thailand!

Finally approved. Applied Chicago office aug. 24. They requested more documents on 28. I submitted them Aug. 29. And then I waited until yesterday to call them, and apparently they didn’t even see my application in their system because I had applied for a non immigrant b visa in April - June.

So, if it’s taking a while, give them a call. I actually did call sometime around Sept. 20, but the phone prompt led me to believe there was no humans to talk to. This time I selected the option to speak to someone about a “tourist visa” and got someone on the phone. There was no phone prompt option for DTV visa.

I own my own company. It’s a lead gen website. I had to write a letter approving myself to work remotely. And provide a resume, which I haven’t had to have in 15+ years. I popped some commands into Chat GPT and had it spit some stuff out. Made some minor edits, submitted, approved.

Had to open a new personal bank account and transfer the money from my business account to my personal. So, no bank history. Just a print out from the bank showing the funds (since I hadn’t got a statement yet)

Does anyone know if DTV can be make in Jakarta?

I tried it in Malaysia

My problem is I have fixed deposit and saving under same statement.

Combination of two amounts could meet minimum requirement for DTV application.

Will they combine these two amounts or I shall withdraw my fixed deposits to saving ? 🥲
