Hello,

I applied for the DTV (worcation - freelancer) in Phnom Penh on June 22 and it was approved today. No additional documents asked. Thank you everyone for all the information I found here! It was a great help. If anyone has any questions don't hesitate to ask...

Ankara/Turkey/Türkiye embassy DTV approval! Just posting this for anyone else that might be searching the group for info about the DTV via Ankara.

tl;dr:

I applied with a U.S passport from Tbilisi, Georgia, on June 7 for a July 4 arrival date. I sent one Facebook message that received no reply but seemed to trigger a status change. Visa approved on July 4, but I'd already pushed back my travel plans given the Ankara embassy's long processing times.

----

My application was for the "workcation" version, and, for the work section, I provided a cover letter describing my work in detail (along with a list of links to my sites/projects) and plans to stay in Thailand, a screenshot of my professional website, and a few recent invoices from different clients.

For the financial section, I provided 3 months of bank statements. My bank lets you download a statement of all your accounts smushed into one, so I had 1 checking and about 3 different savings accounts included in the statements, but one of the accounts was over the required 500k THB for 2 out of the 3 months, and 2 of them added together were always over the requirement, so not sure if this is useful as a data point for number of accounts your money can be spread across.

For supporting residence, I provided a clear shot of my most recent entry stamp into Georgia, along with the lease agreement for my current place in Tbilisi.

I waited about 3 weeks, then sent them a message on Facebook asking about my application status. They didn't get back to me, but the next day my application changed from "Pending document check" to "Pending approval" so I didn't contact them again, assuming I was almost there. I'd already decided I was going to stay longer in Tbilisi, anyway, so if it took a little longer that wasn't a problem.

Ultimately, my visa was approved on July 4, which was my intended arrival date. That would have been a little tight for my taste if I hadn't ended up booking a later flight.

Given that it took me a month to get approved and that the approval came in super last-minute, I'd definitely recommend keeping your travel plans flexible.

🇹🇭 Hello everyone, I’m currently preparing my DTV application on www.thaievisa.go.th.

I’ve started uploading the required documents on the official Thai eVisa website, and I noticed that for each field, we are asked to upload one specific document.

💬 I was wondering if anyone knows:

Is there a section where we can upload a general explanation letter (justification document) that summarizes and explains our situation, or what we are submitting?

I feel it might help to give more context, especially if some documents don’t perfectly match the standard format.

Thanks in advance for any tips! 🙏

Question to the B-Visa holders...

I got my B-Visa new now but only for 9 months because my passport expires in March 2026.

Last time, when I had to get a new passport, I got my visa for 1 year and then they just transferred the visa from the old to the new passport.

Has anyone of you experienced that, too or know any source (link) where I can find a clear information about it?

I am really wondering if it was correct what they did or just another kind of money making of immigration or my accounting office which is doing my visa?

My TM 30 says it's valid till 2026 Feb. If I leave Thailand and re-enter next week, do I need to apply for a new TN30?

Approved in Hanoi (Workcation)

July 1, Tue: Applied

July 2 Wed: Add Doc

July 7 Mon: Approved

First of all, thank you so much to everyone who shared countless application reviews.

In my case, I annotated the Financial Evidence section in detail for the past three months and even included screenshot captures on current day, but ultimately, I was asked to simply resubmit the original bank statement. Just for your reference.

Just as I’ve received help, I’ll do my best to answer any questions you may have.

Online 90 day report

Due date is 16/07. Applied online on 3rd but was rejected as "The data you submitted is not valid".

Applied again on the 4th with the same result.

I have applied many times online using the same data (address etc) and have not travelled anywhere in the last 3 months.

Any suggestions what I'm doing wrong?

Just wondering if anyone has flown out and returned on the same day to reset their 180 days? Or is it advisable to stay out for a day at least? Or even a few? Cheers.

Good day to everyone

I would like to ask you all about transferring money from overseas into my Thai bank account.

WISE asks for the reason so you click ( long stay in Thailand) something like that.

Western Union hasn’t got this reason. Does it matter or not.

Thank you 🙏 all

I was told by my visa agent today that if I deposit 500,000 into my Bangkok Bank Account, they will hold that money for 90 to 120 days. Regardless of where it came from or where it is going.

If that is true, What the Fck is going on here?

I have seen reports that differ... Can anyone comment with actual first hand knowledge of the situation? Please don't waste my time with comments that are unrelated to the question asked.

Have a great day.
