Hello,

I'm from New Delhi, India. Have been to Thailand for more than 7 times and I just love Thailand. I want to stay in Thailand for longer and planning to apply for DTV visa. I got money equivalent to much more then the needed money in my account but most of the money is in Fixed deposits. I do stock trading and online teaching. Should I apply for DTV in New Delhi on my own or should I do it through an agency in Thailand ? Will it be okay if I have money in fixed deposits? I would really appreciate if someone could answer my questions.

Hello everyone! I'm preparing for my DTV digital nomad visa at the moment and will fly to Vietnam in a couple of weeks to submit my visa application. Before my current company that is based in Hong Kong and allows me to work fully remotely, I was working for a Thai company for several years that provided me with a work visa and a Thai bank account. Do you know if it's ok to submit my financial statement proving I have at least 500k baht through my Thai bank account? Or do people advise I should use my foreign bank account instead? Thank you in advance!

I have recently posted a series of Reels/TikToks documenting our move to being retired in Hua Hin, which we now call home!! anyone in the group or other readers please feel free to DM me for details as I will not be so crass, (and also the admins might not like it,) if I just put up my account details. Only happy to help people out though!

I’m in Houston for some medical treatment in September and I could apply for my dtv from there. I have a bank account which could show a usd balance so that wouldn’t be a problem.

Can anyone comment on if the process is easy or difficult and how long it would take? Maybe US in general as a foreigner?

Will it just be easier to wait and travel to another Asian country?

I’m on a UK passport. I could even travel back to the UK in between and apply from there. Thank you

I am living in Bangkok on an LTR visa and this June was my first complete months of rent an apartment in Bangkok. For all expenses, ie. rent, transportation, girlfriend’s partial expenses, eating, etc. I will have racked up approximately $2,600 USD. I wanted to spend no more than $2000 USD per month thus feeling a little over spent this month. I feel I neither overspend nor underspend in general. What is the consensus out there on my June spending for a single retiree in Bangkok?

The information in this group helped me a lot. Got mine in Laos (workcation category).

Documents prepared.

1. Work Portfolio

- Cover letter explaining why I want to apply DTV and my remote work is completely outside of Thailand.

- Recommendation letter from my employer to work remotely in Thailand also indicating I won't do any kind of employment or business locally

- Notarized employment contract and Company registration

- Screenshot of Company website and link to website

2. Financial evidence

- 6 months of Bank statements with highlighted salary transactions + Salary payslips (although I heard 3 months is enough)

- Currency conversion to THB (screenshot of conversion tool in Google search)

3. Proof of location

- Flight ticket & Hotel booking (Vientiane)

- Laos eVisa and entry stamp

- House contract in Bangkok

- latest TM30

Arrived Laos on weekends, submitted application and received payment QR.

Next day - went to Embassy and paid visa fee in person (beforehand print out the QR and go early if you want to avoid long queue). Received document check status in the afternoon.

Next day - pending approval status.

Next day - received email to come for interview (interview date is a week later)

Enjoy vacation for the week and then go to interview and received eVisa the next day.

For the interview, just got asked a few questions about my work experiences and previous travel history. Also asked me to show my mobile application and confirmed the bank account profile and my salary transactions.

The process as a whole is quite smooth, thanks to the previous posts with helpful information.

Good luck travellers 😁

I am applying with Muay Thai soft power at Jakarta embassy. How should I fill in my English and Chinese names? Such as below:

Full name on passport: Anthony Bernard Chan Dak Eng

Machine readable field reads: Chan<<Anthony<Bernard<Dak<Eng

The system populates as:

First Name: Anthony

Middle Name: Bernard Dak Eng

Last Name: Chan

1) Is this correctly filled in?

2) If the visa comes out as "Anthony Bernard Dak Eng Chan", will I have any problems at immigration?

Edited:

The confusion is because the Chinese name is "Chan Dak Eng".

First name: Anthony

Middle name: Bernard

Family name: Chan

Chinese name: Dak Eng

Dak Eng is populated into the middle name field. Is this correct?
