Hey there,

If you live in the U.S., can you visit a neighboring Asian Country and apply for your DTV from there?

If so, I would love any information on affordable places nearby!

Seeking advice please. Does your employment contract need to state ‘remote’ work for a DTV visa or would ‘home based’ suffice?

I would like some advice. My wife is Thai and I’m an American. We plan to come Thailand in July and stay about 4 months. During that time, we will probably take a trip outside Thailand (maybe Laos, Viet Nam or the Philippines). My question is do I need to get a visa or just use the 60 day exemption and depend on the extensions that are available.

In addition to the normal 60 day extension, can I get a family extensions as I have in the past?

Thanks

Hi guys.

I've just submitted my application in Laos.

I know you have to go to the embassy to pay in cash.

My question is after submitting my application do I just go ahead to the embassy to make payment or do I wait on an email telling me to go pay?

Update: reached out to the Thai embassy in Seoul. After multiple back and forth, they confirmed tourists who entered Korea with K-ETA can apply for the DTV. They stressed the approval could take about a month.

Hi, has anyone applied in Seoul as a non-resident (tourist) and got approved?

I’m a US citizen on a tourist visa undergoing tests in Seoul for a recently diagnosed illness. I’m hoping to apply for DTV under soft power (medical) to continue with tests and treatment in Bangkok. I see on the Thai embassy website that I would need to be residing in South Korea - i find this a bit vague, does this mean the application is only open to residents, or can non-residents (tourists) apply as well as long as they’re in SK until the DTV is issued?

Grateful for any advice, thank you.

As we have heard that Thailand os requiring proof of income again for tourist visa applications for 6p days.

I am reading the update and this is only talking about nationalities required to apply for it.

It isn't saying anything about people under "exempt" status. Where you dont have to apply for a 60 day tourist visa you can show up with approved passport and get the 60 day stamp.

Or am I missing anything?

Hello everyone, I am looking to apply for the DTV visa through taking cooking class route. I am a trader so I do not have any payslip for the past couple years. All my income is passive. I do have the 500K in the bank. Would they still require the me to show the payslips history even tho I go with the taking classes route. I have the options to either apply in Viet Nam or US. What are the chances I will get approved with this route and not being able to show payslips? Thank you all in advance

Hello everyone My visa results….Your visa application has been cancelled. As the applicant are working full-time at the governmental organisation, neither the freelancer nor remote worker, the applicant could not apply for this type of visa.

I am working at government as an engineer and ı trade in crypto and turkish stocks also.ı added everything about crypto accounts also .if ı get this dtv visa ı will quit job and only trade stocks…but they don’t accept what can ı do now ?

Thailand has reinstated the requirement for tourist visa applicants to provide proof of financial resources, effective May 2025. This has now at least been implemented by the Royal Thai embassy Berlin and the 2 Thai consulates in Germany. Maybe other embassies will follow, I don't know. I wish to avoid any speculations.

It has already been installed in the e-visa online system of some Thai embassies, and others might follow soon.

This old

requirement was lifted in November 2023 to facilitate entry for international travelers.

Applicants for a 60-days single entry or multi entry tourist visa must now provide proof of at least 20,000 THB equivalent to their local currency, usually through recent bank statements or a letter of sponsorship.

This proof must be uploaded into the e-visa application.

Hi.

Is the DTAC only for 30 days entry.

I’m guessing I can extend at immigration office.

Any one experienced this yet. Thank you ☀️
