DTV Workcation Approved!

Ottawa Embassy.

Applied: September 24th

Document Requested: October 3rd

Pending Approval: October 6th

Approved: October 8th

So Whole thing took exactly 2 full weeks. They told me estimate 25 day business days, i know they tell you that to not give you any high expectations. was kinda getting worried id be around there, since it is high season. but everything went very smooth! they asked for docs once(incorporation letters + 3 months bank statement). Ottawa is pretty chill and just wants your last one to reach the 500,000THB threshold by the way.

If anyone has any questions applying from Canada, let me know!

Hey everyone! I’d like to share my DTV approval process here:

• Embassy: Los Angeles, California

• Category: Soft Power - Discover Thai Nature Seminar

• Date Applied: September 16, 2025

• Documents Provided:

- Passport

- Updated Passport Pic

- Discover Thai Nature Certificate

- 6 mos Savings Statements of 15K Baht

- Lease Agreement**

• Request for Further Document - received September 17, 2025

- “Document indicating current location: Please upload your ID card or utility bill as proof of residency that you’re in our jurisdiction”

• **Document Provided:

- I wrote a letter of explanation due to my lease agreement being a month to month plan (no contract), and I don’t have to pay any additional bills here as I’m only renting a room. I also don’t have my mail or any other important documents at this address, only my PO Box which is listed on my drivers license. In the letter I offered to take a picture of myself on the property, but that wasn’t needed!

This was a very quick and easy process for me, and I’m excited for the seminar! Please let me know if you have any questions!

Ok. I got it. My non o. Will be in bangkok on the 18th. Not worried about tm30 . Looking for sum advice on a good bank to park my baht in and how I should go about doing it. From US and use BOA. Looking to land smooth.

Multiple accounts with Bangkok Bank

I have BB accounts both in Chiangmai and Pattaya.

On Saturday morning, I received a phone call from a lady at the Pattaya branch, asking me to come in on Monday and show my one year lease.

I don’t have a lease as I’m currently traveling and staying at hotels.

So on Tuesday morning I find both my accounts frozen.

I didn’t think that one branch could freeze an account at another branch.

Anyone has been in this situation?

What happens if I open a new BB account where I am currently staying, could they unfreeze my accounts?

Question: Just applied for our DTV we plan on bringing there for a few years but we put the time as 3 months the date on the application. My question is was this wrong and will we have to reapply again later because of it in that 3 months? Any info helps!

Has anyone ever done 90 day reporting at One Bangkok? I just made an appointment online but seems like most people not doing it there for the first time.

Hi everyone. I have my first international flight to BKK tomorrow. I have my visa printed. TDAC filled. Please share your arrival experience? Do I stand in normal immig line or special line for DTV? Share first hand experience please. Important things to remember?

Hello,

I applied for the DTV Visa, Soft Power Route London embassy (Muay Thai)

Got an email today, asking for additional documents

For the Document indicating current location : Do bank statements work?

I provided a saver bank statement when I initially applied. 2nd time I will apply with Bank Statement of a credit card with recent transfers in UK. Does this qualify for a document for current location? 🤔

Let me know please if you were in a similar situation, thank you!

Quick question, will printed bank statements suffice, Monzo don’t so stamps on statements and I see people mention they got their statements stamped

Hi everyone 👋

I’m planning to apply for the DTV visa next month at the Thai Embassy in HO CHI MINH 🇻🇳. I understand that the embassy usually asks for a 6-month bank statement showing at least 500,000 THB.

I currently have that amount for the past three months, but I didn’t have that balance four to six months ago, the funds were transferred from my parents.

I’m from Singapore and have had a regular income of about USD 5k per month for the past 3 years.

The income goes through Wise Business → Wise Personal → local bank account, where I handle my living expenses and payments.

My only concern is that since the 500,000 THB is a fresh deposit (around 20,000 USD), it might raise questions when they review the six-month statement. I could explain that it’s a gift from my parents, but I’m not sure if that would be accepted.

Has anyone had experience with this situation when applying?

Would really appreciate your thoughts or advice. 🙏
