I’m considering getting a Non O 90 days by myself. I would like to know if someone has the same experience, easy or not?

Hello everyone,

I am currently in Malaysia and did my online application for the DTV visa. I am 32 years old and a swiss passport holder.

My situation: I just graduated for a Master degree in Business and Hospitality Management this July. I started working for a swiss company fully remote on 1. August 2025. That means till now I only got 1 payslip. The embassy request now the payslip for the last six months. Can I explain my situation in a letter? Also I showed them enough funds on my swiss bank account (+1million THB on the cash account since 2 years). They now want me to convert my swiss franks on my swiss bank account in THB, which I definitely will not do.

Next, I have a contract in English with that swiss company. And also a letter from the CEO explaining my position. Now they say I need to go to swiss embassy in Kuala Lumpur to let them clarify its a real document. But I read that the swiss embassy doesn't do that in Malaysia, only in Bangkok. But I can't leave Malaysia as I am in the application process.

Anyone else had just send one payslip (mine is about 100k THB) ?

I thought maybe they don't let me stay in Thailand as remote worker because I just started working remotely. Should I better do the DTV visa for Muy Thai? I mean I anyway want to train muy thai. But I will definitely upload the documents I have and see if I get rejected.

Thanks for your help

I’m planning on moving to Thailand later in the year and getting the DTV visa, I’ve got a property rental business in the UK which has been trading for 9 months. Will this be enough evidence to obtain the DTV visa? I’ll always be doing freelance work in the construction industry but not sure how I can evidence this? Any advise would be much appreciated. Thank you!

from your experience, what is the best/fastest embassy to apply for DTV online? (close to Thailand)

I've applied at the Osaka embassy because i was in japan at the time and got my visa after 2 weeks but was wondering where Is the nearest place I should go to the next time i want to renew visa

My family and I are coming to Koh Samui for a 6-month stay. What's the recommended type of medical insurance? Is travel insurance or a local/domestic plan better for a long-term trip? We need coverage for sickness and emergencies. Appreciate the advice!

Hello I want to know something about my DTV, I been staying with DTV for almost a month (20 days) now I have to go back home for personal reasons. So when I come back to Thailand, will the immigration reset previous one and give new 180 days?

During the application process, I assume not everyone already has a condo lined up before moving out there. Do you just put the hotel that you’ll be staying at for the first couple weeks or whatever as your living situation? Will that suffice?

If you are living in your parents house in a rental apartment, what to give as location proof? Your permanent address(present in passport etc) is a different address but in the same city though you don't live there.

Hi everyone,

I applied for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) through the London embassy on 11 September.

The next day (12 Sept) I received a request for more documents, which I uploaded right away.

However, my application has been stuck on “Pending Document Check” ever since.

Here’s the snag: I accidentally uploaded a Monzo business account statement instead of a personal one (it’s my sole-trader account with my name/address) and only after I realized they wanted a personal bank statement not a business one. I expected they’d email me again asking for a personal statement, but I’ve heard nothing, no email, no portal message, for over a week.

What’s puzzling is that:

• My wife applied a week earlier and her DTV was approved within a week, she uploaded her Revolut personal statement and after a day the application was already in pending approval and after few days approved, took like 6 working days in total

• Several friends applied around the same time as me and were also approved quickly, even when they had to resubmit documents, only 1-2 days in pending document check and then in pending approval and after 4-5 days they got approved.

But in my case, it’s been 6 working days already where the visa status didn’t change at all from “pending document check” and they’re not even asking me for more documents, look like it’s just stuck.

Has anyone else had a similar experience with the London Thai Embassy, especially if you accidentally submitted a business account statement?

Did it just take extra time, or will they eventually email again for the correct personal statement?

Thanks for any insight!

Thanks for all the responses to my questions..I have yet another..my exit date when I entered is Nov 9....since it looks like I may have to leave and reenter for the 90 day..what is the latest I should wait to do it...I don't want to waste a month or so that I have already...am I correct in my thinking...and must I go back to the U.S. to apply or can I do Laos or Philippines? Thank you in advance.
