I've got all my documents ready, merged and compressed, covering letters etc. but I can't upload them into the system. I've entered all my information in the first 3 pages, double checked it, but when I go to upload 3,4 and 5 - current location, proof of finance and employer details, I can't upload the files. It just keeps giving me this 403 error message. Has anyone else had this? Is there something obvious I'm doing wrong? Thanks for any help.

Thank you for all advices given here.

My experience applying Non Immi O based on marriage thru e-Visa Thai Embassy Kuala Lumpur.

27th July - Submitted application

28th July - Thailand public holiday

29th July - Requested additional document, full pages of my passport cramp into PDF for less than 3MB

30th July - Pending document check

31st July - 4pm+- Pending approval

31st July - 5.53pm Approved

I’m actually quite surprised on fast approval, despite some people telling that Thai Embassy Kuala Lumpur is one of the hardest place for e-Visa applications

Again, millions of thanks for the advices and support given in here appreciate that 🙏🏻

I got approved for the DTV using Discover Thai Nature about six months ago. I'm going to enter the country for the first time in about a month ( I haven't attended any sessions in person, obviously because I'm in the U.S ) and I'm wondering what I might get asked for when I go through customs. Has anyone gone through with Discover Thai Nature and been asked specific questions, or asked to prove 500,000 baht in an account?

Should I have printouts of the schedule or anything in particular to have on hand in case I get asked questions about my course? If it matters,I'll be flying into Chiang Mai.

Had an interesting experience at Jomtien Immigration Office this morning. I was there applying for my yearly extension of stay based on marriage. Handed over the wad of paperwork to the lady at desk 6 that deals with Thai family. After checking all the financials and marriage documents she homes in on the family photos. She spoke to my wife and returned all the documents and rejected our application. Apparently my wife was inappropriately dressed for a visa application in the photos. We were both wearing shorts and T-shirts. All three previous extensions had been granted with the exact same photos. So we had to return to our condo and get a fresh set of photos taken and printed and then back to Immigration to resubmit our application. Eventually we walked out of the Office at 1pm with the under consideration stamp in my passport. The Immigration Officer who rejected the photos was the same Officer who had previously accepted them. Go figure....

Hey everyone, quick question:

How does the Thai work visa affect taxes? I’m an EU passport holder with income from foreign stocks (not working in Thailand). If I live there long-term, how is that taxed? Any tips or experiences would help! 🙏

Hi everyone,

I'm an engineer currently living in Thailand on a DTV (Digital Work) visa. I've been staying here for over 180 days, so I have to pay taxs in thailand

I'm now looking for a trustworthy and knowledgeable accountant or tax advisor who can assist me with my personal income tax.

If you have any recommendations for reliable firms or professionals-especially those who are experienced with expats or DTV visa holders.

Please share the information.

Has anyone applied for the DTV visa via the Thai Embassy in Switzerland? Was a 7–10 night refundable hotel booking enough for accommodation proof, or did they ask for more? I plan to do a long-term contract only after approval.

Smooth first DTV (workcation) entry at BKK last night.

I was approved easily after 75% of folks in this group advised against applying.

This was based on my not having regular income but I'd like to encourage anyone in a similar situation who's considering applying to pay close attention to the OR clause in requirement 5.

Basically if you can showcase a professional portfolio (this can be assets, not just freelance work) that demonstrates "digital nomad status" then you can be considered if you meet the other requirements. You just need to show you actively work on it in a professional capacity.

It's worth noting that 'digital nomad' doesn't just mean freelance work with invoices etc.

Everything isn't black and white, if you have merit, you can be accepted if you make your case properly.
