Hi, need to get a Certificate of Residency, just wondering what documents are currently required for this.

Will be using the Jomtien office

Has anyone recently gone through the DTV visa process in Vientiane and can share how long it took to get called for the interview and receive the visa?

Any recent experiences, timelines, or tips would be super helpful!

If anyone has direct contacts at the embassy, I’d be incredibly grateful.

Thanks in advance! 🙏

Hi guys,

I requested documents from Canberra, and since I have two jobs, I was provided with both contracts and a letter stating that I’m allowed to work remotely from anywhere.

However, the Thai Embassy asked for the following, and I’m a bit confused:

1) I already provided the company number in the letter, but they seem to be asking for something more official, such as a Companies House Certificate of Incorporation or a Companies House Company Profile.

Has anyone experienced this, or can you clarify what exactly they are expecting?

2) They also seem to want another letter confirming that I’m allowed to work remotely while staying in Thailand.

My previous letter included my salary and highlight work from anywhere remotely — for this new letter, is it necessary to include salary again, or is it enough to simply confirm that remote work from Thailand is permitted?

Any advice from those who have applied would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

I just entered through Suvarnabhumi airport, longer queues for sure. I use visa exempt every month but never had any extensions and max stayed 4 to 12 days each time, and return back to my country. I had zero questions asked and was let through. This was my 12th Visa exempt this year. Never even asked for my return ticket, hotel or how much cash i had. Just biometric, photo and stamp the passport. Since there are many questions around this subject.

Hello,

I hold an Italian passport. I work remotely (self employed).

I want to become a TAX resident in Thailand. What's the easiest / fastest way to go about this.

We applied for our visa in Jakarta, and the application started on December 1st.

On December 12th, we were requested to submit all passport pages, which we have already uploaded.

As of December 17th, there has been no further update, and the status is still showing “Pending Document Check”.

So far, it has been 14 working days in this status.

I would like to ask others who applied in Jakarta:

• How long did your DTV (Workcation) visa processing take?

• Is this delay normal?

My current visa in Jakarta expires on December 26th.

Once my visa is approved, I plan to apply for my wife as a dependent.

Do you think it is realistic for both of us to receive the visas before December 26th?

If not, would it be necessary for us to do a same-day exit and re-entry via Kuala Lumpur?

Also, once my visa is approved, would you recommend sending an email to request urgent processing for my wife’s dependent visa?

If anyone has applied recently, please share:

• Did your application also take this long?

• How many days did it stay under “Pending Document Check”?

Thank you in advance for your advice and shared experiences.

My wife has the savings requirement to sponsor both of us, but no income for the past 6 months (she only just started a short remote contract job). I have income but no savings as we have been living off of my means. I can’t be added to her bank account because she’s American and I’m not and I don’t have residence there. Would the Thai embassy in Laos still consider us qualified for the DTV?

Hi does anyone know if these fast track sites you see online for Don Mueang actually help you get through immigration quicker and smoothly? Thanks in advance for any replies.

Can i transfer my elite visa to new passport (new passport from different country)?

Hi all,

I would like to ask a question.

I'm planning to apply DTV visa from Singapore.

I got one issue that the resident address in the bank statement differ with current address, is it any issue and need to change the address before apply it?

Actually, I forgot to change my current address in my bank.

Please advise.

Thank you in advance.
