Went to open a new account with K bank today Maha Sarakham they told me I have to go to either Bangkok or Chonburi to open new accounts it’s crazy

Paris - France

Wanted to hear about recent experiences applying in France in the past few months. How long did it take? Did they ask for further documentation?

Thanks a lot! Merci! 🙏🏼

Has anyone applied for a retirement visa using the monthly income requirement instead of the 80K deposit? If so, how did you get your documents verified since the embassy doesn’t handle it?

Please correct me if this is completely wrong or just a puerile question, but do I get it right that, no matter via which Embassy you apply, it's likely that DTVisa applications for Digital Nomads where the applicant is forcing to keep doing his/her remote job abroad are supposed to hand work contracts/arrangements, portfolios (or just one of the last three ones) AND documents that show monthly income (based on their profession) while DTV applications of people who are willing to participate in Thai Soft Powers (like cooking class or Muay Thai course) are "only" supposed to include a bank account that is well balanced (B 500,000, for the past three months at least) and the confirmation of that particular Thai soft power/cultural course?

Sometimes it seems unpredictable which argumentation is received well by the Thai embassies.

Is it counterproductive to include proof of a remote job arrangement of your company (thus, a monthly income) when you are determined to "only" participate in a Muay Thai course? Some Embassies can be very erratic when it comes to the constellation of your application's legend 🙄

Thanks so much for your attention!

-THAI BANK ACCOUNT-

My SCB account was opened 8 years ago as salary account on my Non-B visa. I always maintained several million THB paid to me through legitimate, Thai taxed salary/benefits, which I am still maintaining after quitting my job. I also religiously filed Thai Income tax returns each year.

Recently my WP and Non-B visa has been cancelled after my resignation. I am considering switching to DTV. So, as reported by several members here on DTV, is my bank account at risk now or anytime in near future? TIA 🙏

Approved!

I applied in Jakarta Embassy

DTV Type: Workcation

Passport: USA

8/17: Application Submitted

8/20: Pending Approval

8/21: Approved

No additional documents were requested.

What I submitted:

* A letter from the employer stating that I work for them and that I'm allowed to work remotely/from Thailand

* 6 months bank statements (> 500k THB each month)

* Tax returns from 2023 and 2024

* Evidence of current location (boarding pass, entry stamp, stay permit from Indonesian immigration, GPS screenshot of my location)

* My CV and portfolio

Thank you everyone for making this group a great resource.

Hi everyone,

I’m a Danish applicant for the Thailand Digital Nomad Visa (DTV). Does anyone know if Danish documents (e.g., CVR business registration, birth certificates, or marriage certificates) need to be apostille-stamped in Denmark to be accepted as valid documentation for the DTV application? Or would it be sufficient to have them translated by an approved Thai translator, like Sawadee Translation? Any insights or experiences from fellow Danes would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hello people who have applied in Kuala Lumpur for the DTV soft power? I would like to know for the DTV soft power application, if they ask for the same documents that are requested on the official website? Because some say that it is strict. I would like to have feedback from people who have applied for it. Thank you

I've just received my new passport, because the old one has expired. The embassy officers intentionally damaged the old one - they cut it and punched holes in it. Is it like it should be done? Will the Thai officers at the airport understand it?

I have a question if I’m added to my mothers bank account can I still qualify for DTV? Going to take cooking classes
