What’s happening with the DTV and new digital entry on May 1st?

Apperently you need to input an outbound flight? Obviously this shouldn’t really apply to DTV or those with work permits

Hi Everyone,

I'm seeking some guidance regarding the DTV. I'm a New Zealand citizen currently residing in Dubai, where I work for my family’s company as Head of Sales. Most of my work is done remotely.

In terms of documentation, I can provide a signed letter from one of the business partners confirming that my role is remote. Would I also need to submit an employment contract? Is there a minimum salary threshold I should be aware of?

Additionally, the majority of my funds are held in an Australian bank account. Will this be an issue given that my residential address is in Dubai, my passport is from New Zealand, and my funds are in Australia?

Hi all... I got my initial non O 3 month visa for retirement with little hassle. Is it harder to get the 12 month extension afterwards. I fufill the financial requirements but have read of people having complications such as home visits etc. I'm applying in Chiang Mai.in case it varies region to region. 🙏🏼

Hello, I plan to apply for DTV visa under power soft muay thai category, already have gym documents and +500k thb in my Thai bank. I recieve passive income from my savings and make some extra with affiliate maketing but nothing significant.

Is it okay if I say I’m Unemployed in the application? It might give the impression I make not income which is not true. Could this make visa denial more likely? Thanks.

Are there any specific doctors or even hospitals that you all may recommend in bangkok if wanting to apply for the soft power option via medical? Thanks for any input.

Hi I just wanted to share my experience obtaining the DTV. I applied from Hanoi, Vietnam on 03/21 and used the soft power option, using a cooking school. I submitted the following documents:

- My Vietnam airbnb receipt

- Confirmation letter from the thai cooking school

- Proof of accommodation and flight to Thailand

- A PDF containing 6 months worth of bank statements combined with my offer letter from my US employer. Youre not required to submit an offer letter and i think they only wanted 3 months of bank statements but i wanted to demonstrate that i had sufficient income and that i do not have a thai employer. My boss is also fully aware that im in thailand and supports it

I was asked on 03/24 to submit my Vietnam entry stamp and business registration letter from the cooking school. My status immediately changed to pending approval

Officially approved on sunday 03/31.

When I arrived at BKK airport, all I did was show my DTV visa on my phone and I got my stamp. No questions asked.

The whole process was smooth and straightforward.

I only have thai bank account but it's not under the name of my company, is it okay?

Hi im looking for some information on opening a bank account. I have my DTV visa already. Ive had 1 quote for 19k baht just to open a bank account. Does anyone know where i can open an account cheaper?

Hey guys, has anyone with a DTV used the egates in Bangkok Suvarnabhumi to exit regularly? Given that on entry it still appears to be stamped just want to make sure if I were to use them that this is fine in lieu of an absent exit stamp as I am frequently in and out of Thailand. For reference I have a DTV myself. Thanks!

Hey there! I have the DTV visa and will travel after 180 days. Can I travel back in later with no problems? Or do I need the same documents before and have to register for immigration? Thank you for your replies!

Hallo! Ich habe das DTV Visum und reise nach 180 Tagen aus. Kann ich später ohne Probleme wieder einreisen? Oder brauche ich vorher wieder die gleichen Dokumente und muss ich mich bei der Immigration melden? Vielen Dank für eure Antworten!
