Can you get a DTV for Muay Thai and then if you find a remote job (in a country that isn't) stop doing Muay Thai and keep the DTV?

My Canadian passport expires in June 2025. Are they able to transfer the DTV visa to a new passport?

Which countries have you guys had the easiest experience?

Has anybody here tried getting their DTV visa in Manila, Philippines?

Can you save your work? Before I begin the online DTV application process, I'd like to know if I can stop and save my work at any step in the application process, and then sign back in and pick up where I left off. I can see where there might be steps where they ask for documentation that I haven't prepared, and I will need to stop and get that documentation before proceeding. Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I’m applying for a DTV visa and need to submit my financial statement. I need to convert my amount into THB for the application.

1. Which exchange rate should I use (e.g., Central Bank, embassy rate, etc.)?

2. How did you calculate or present your financial balance when applying?

Any advice to me. Thank you!

I just left Thailand and am in Hanoi. I have until Nov. 29 until the Thai 60 day tourist visa expires. Would that be a problem?

I physically will be in HCMC too but I can only apply through Hanoi on the website since that's what my stamp says?

I wasn't planning on applying for the DTV on this trip but considering it. I'm going to Cambodia on Dec. 7. Would it be a problem if I apply for the visa in Vietnam and enter Cambodia a week later while awaiting approval? Or I have to be in the same country as the application when it's approved

Plan to enter Thailand again dec. 14. Trying to maximize the 5 years of validity. Thank you

I’m from New York and looking to enter Thailand on Dec 12 for a one month tourist visit (living there will probably be a next year thing). If I submit my visa application as a remote worker now (I own my own business), would it be approved in time? Or should I not risk it and just apply with my next trip at a later date?

I’ve read here that I shouldn’t leave my country while applying for the visa. I can apply after my trip but I’m worried the DTV rules will change and be more difficult to obtain.

Does anyone have experience of applying for a DTV at the embassy in Lisbon? If not, can I ask for tips on how best to find out the requirements of specific embassies? (I now have the 500,000 baht but am wondering for how long Lisbon will expect to see it sitting in my bank account.)

Also, is it necessary for me to apply in Lisbon because I happen to be here at the moment? Or could one apply anywhere else (other than in Thailand itself)? Part of me would like to get on a plane asap and go out to South East Asia rather than waiting around here.

Looking for advice on applying for DTV (Destination Thailand Visa) without third-party services

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to apply for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) and would love to hear from those who successfully applied through the Thai Embassy in Laos, Cambodia, or Vietnam without using third-party visa services.

Here’s my situation:

I have a remote 6-month contract with a Singapore-based company, and the contract will likely be extended in the future.

My supervisor has agreed to assist me with the 500,000 THB proof of funds requirement.

I’ve reviewed the official guidelines and understand the document requirements, but I’m hoping to learn from real experiences about:

1. The process and challenges of applying directly at these embassies.

2. How long the processing time took for you.

3. Any tips or specific embassy policies (e.g., differences between Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam).

4. Any additional documents or details that embassies asked for during your application.

If you’ve gone through this process, I’d greatly appreciate sharing your experience.

Thanks in advance!
