Well I must say, for a Bronze 5yr Thai Elite Visa I wasn't expecting over $30,000 AUD...🤔

Back to the drawing board...🤔

Hello everyone wave 👋

Has anyone here applied for a digital nomad visa? What was the process like and how easy was it to obtain. I have my own online business and I’m looking at applying, just wondering if there is any advice to make the process easier.

Thank you

Hi! If I came from the USA to Thailand on 60 days and then extended on 30 days would I be able to fly to Cambodia or Malaysia for 2-3 days and come back for another 30?

Thank you!!!

🇹🇭 Has anyone experienced “comments” in the Thai immigration system?

Some travelers have reported receiving shorter stays or facing stricter questioning at the border after entering Thailand multiple times within a short period. In certain cases, visa agencies later confirmed that a “comment” (internal note) had been added to the traveler's immigration profile.

These comments are not visible and not officially communicated, but immigration officers can see them when scanning the passport. They may be triggered by recurring patterns such as:

Frequent entries and exits within a short timeframe

Short stays outside Thailand between entries

Behavior that resembles visa runs or long-term stays without the proper visa

This raises questions about how such comments might affect future entries or visa applications, and whether they can be viewed or removed.

Some common suggestions include:

Applying for an ED visa, which is possible if at least 45 days remain on the current permission to stay

If only 20 days remain, it may be too late to apply from within Thailand — applying from Cambodia might be safer

Using the e-Visa system, if applicable

Waiting a few months before returning, to allow the situation in the system to “cool off”

Any experiences or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi all,

The DTV application document that I found states that my business registration and employment contract have to be authenticated by the embassy of the country where my business is registered. Is the authentication actually necessary?

Not sure if you all are aware but you can get a fully verified TrueMoney account now with just passport and DTV - can accept and send QR/promptpay payments.

If you use the true money machines at mrt or true stores, can load up to 20k at a time. Max wallet balance 50k.

I hate cash and thai banks don’t seem to be an option now so this is the best solution imo.

Anyone with DTV have to pay taxes yet?

Hi all I gonna be honest here:

My son and I are looking at the DTV for next August to go from UK. We will have the funds there but wanna ask few questions.

1. Is the funds (500,000baht) per person I be applying for myself and a dependent my son.

2. Can accommodation proof be the lease of a villa as we thinking get a base and then leave every 180 days for 30 days (we come back uk annually anyway) but thinking be nice have a place we not having to lug all our luggage all time as 30 days we could go via carry on easy.

3. Is it best to have the 3 months of bills payments on top the main funds or just have the main proof of funds.

I do content creation online so am self employed and will just submit my tax return or can I just send a portfolio of what I do charge etc.

Photo for attention:

What’s the best way to apply for it if you are currently in Thailand? 3 week trip in Vietnam/cambodia?

Hi everyone, I’d really appreciate your advice🙏

1) I’m an online freelance teacher with no official employer. What should I include in my professional portfolio for the application? Are bank slips accepted as proof of income from clients? Do I need to show contracts with my students? I’d especially love to hear from other freelance teachers who’ve been through this process

2) I plan to apply as the main visa holder, with my husband as a dependant. However, the required 500K baht is in *his* account. Has anyone successfully applied with the funds in a spouse’s name? Is it accepted?

3) Lastly, for someone with a Russian passport, which country is currently the easiest and fastest to apply from — Malaysia, Cambodia, or Vietnam?
