EDIT: thanks so much for all the replies folks!! @admins: would it be helpful to start setting up an F.A.Q?

Hey everybody, Firstly thanks so much for all the great advice. I have a few question about the requirements:

- can I can have 500K baht across different bank accounts that are in my name? or does it need to be in a single account?

- I also heard that you need to show proof of salaries equivalent to >= 80K usd per year. is this correct? it would be a problem for me as I've been working parttime the last year

- lastly, can I apply for the DTV visa while I have an active other VISA? I currently have an ED one

Good morning guys, wondering if anyone could advice regarding on TM30 upon returning to Thailand.

My landlord has registered the TM30 for 366 days upon my arrival last year. I’ll be away for business trip for about 10 days. Does my landlord need to resubmit the TM30 upon returning to Thailand?

Thanks in advance and appreciate 😊

My wife and I are traveling in Vietnam and wanted to apply DTV.

I am a remote worker and have all required documents. But my wife run her own small eCommerce store and doesn't have paperworks.

We also don't have legally translated marriage certificate.

So we are thinking, I will apply DTV and she will apply tourist visa. Once inside Thailand, we will get our marriage certificate legalized in Thailand. After that, can she apply spouse visa at the immigration office or does she need to leave to apply from another country?

I may try to extend in Jomtien. Has anyone extended yet? What is needed for documents and what is the process?

Hello

I will apply for Dtv visa from Laos. But if my DTV is not approved, can I apply for a tourist visa with triple entries to re-enter Thailand.

Greetings Peter

Hi everyone, I have a question regarding the DTV visa application for Myanmar passport holders.

I am currently in Thailand on a Non-ED visa and working remotely for a foreign firm. I plan to switch to DTV (Workcation category) soon. However, my passport is expiring soon, and I need to renew it before applying.

The only way I can renew my passport in Bangkok is to change from a PV (Visit Passport) to a PJ (Job Passport) for some reason through an agent.

For any Myanmar nationals who have successfully applied for DTV, does the passport type (PJ) matter? Has anyone faced issues because of their passport type when applying for DTV?

Would appreciate any insights.

I've posted a couple of times on here about Immi asking me for proof my 800k funds originally sent in 2019 came from abroad. I have something to note and something to ask. To note, I asked my bank on two occasions to supply the proof, they said they couldn't find any origin abroad deposits. So I was faced with importing another 800k. Then this week I found my old bank book, and sure enough there was the record with the FFS code for a foreign origin. So, note that the bank may not try hard enough, you may need to push them if you no longer have your old bank books. Second, is a question. I can now apply for the retirement visa here, but I'm heading back to Europe in April. As I understand it, I can get the non-immi retirement visa now, valid for three months, then extend it to a year. My question, after getting the 3 month visa, can I leave the country with a re-entry for a few months, then come back in and apply for the 1 year extension, or will my 3 month visa become invalid upon departure?

Hanoi Approval! USA Remote Worker

I found these posts so helpful so wanted to add my own experience.

- 2/19: application submitted in the afternoon

- 2/20: status changed from document check to pending approval

- 2/27: approval email sent at nearly 10pm!

** Update: dependent spouse

- 2/27: submitted their application immediately after getting my visa, late at night

- 2/28: they requested an updated bank statement

- 3/1: thankfully my bank posted the February statement right away so i uploaded it on Saturday

- 3/3: status changed to pending approval

- 3/5: visa approved around 7pm

I do feel that was kind of long for a dependent one but oh well. **

I was not asked for anything extra, and here is what I submitted:

Proof of finances: 6 months of bank statements meeting requirements. I used the first page as well as any pages with payroll deposits and highlighted those

Proof of job: very brief cover letter explaining what I do (regular employee of a company), how long I’ve worked there, and why I want to apply. Then a letter from my manager (again super super simple. Just confirmed start date, remote status, and direct deposit payroll), and the company’s business registration from the state SOS where they are headquartered. Our internal HR system also has some pages showing management hierarchies so I screenshotted the part showing my name and my managers, and my employee overview page which shows start date and confirms remote status.

Proof of location: entry stamp and hotel booking.

In my very limited and anecdotal experience, include as much as you can! I am now applying for my spouse so will update when that one is complet. Thank you and viva Thailand 🇹🇭

Are we liable to pay tax or file return if we live in Thailand more than 10 months with DTV Visa and a Visa run after every 160 days in one year? If so what percentage for nomads?

Wonderful people. Could I ask for help in clarifying making money while on the DTV? I teach niche yoga classes. The parent company is in Dubai. Studios worldwide hire them, pay them in foreign currency, who then hire me to travel to teach at that location. In this case Thailand. Would that qualify me as a “remote” worker even though I would physically be teaching in Thailand? 🤔 Thanks in advance.
