Hi all! I found all the updates extremely helpful, so I thought I'd post my own timeline.

I got approved for my DTV today (17/02). The email came through right at 6 pm local time. I submitted an application for the digital nomad subtype on 03/02 at 22:30 from Siem Reap. The status changed to pending approval the next morning, and it took exactly 10 business days to process from that point.

I submitted a screenshot of my online profile (with an embedded link) on a large, freelance marketplace that shows over 1,600 hours booked, high hourly rate, and several hundred client feedback ratings/comments. I included a short letter of intention and the general freelancer contract provided by the platform I market myself on. It's a general contract that essentially says I'm a freelancer and not an employee.

I provided my January 2025 savings account statement with beginning balance around $8000 USD and ending balance of $16000 USD with several deposits over the month from my personal checking to get the balance to the required 500,000 baht. I also provided a lease for an apartment that I signed when I was there in December. I wasn't asked for any additional documents. I have an American passport.

That's about it. Even though I had no reason to think it would be rejected, I was really nervous the whole time. But from what I can tell, if you are a legit digital nomad, there's no reason to stress☺️

Hi everyone, I’m a bit confused about the 500k baht financial requirement for the DTV.

Do I need to show a bank statement with 500k baht maintained for the past 3 months, or can I use payslips/client invoices to prove I have the equivalent income?

Can you recommend a Muay Thai Gym in Pai for the DTV?

Anyone here who applied from Switzerland? 😊

DTV (Remote worker) Approved within 10days (6 working-days)!

I gathered the following documents and submitted as per the required & paid 120,000 Rs (13700 bath). [[members only])

- Biodata page of Passport.

- Digital Photograph.

- Current location proof in PDF.

- Financial evidence: amount of 500,000+ THB (used fixed deposit & bank balance), bank statements & sponsorship letter from the company. All documents in one PDF.

- Employment contract in PDF.

After 2 days asking to upload all pages of my passport & upload.

After 2 I had an Interview at the Embassy in Colombo with all the hardcopies that were submitted & had a quick discussion (5 minutes).

Today got the Approved with a very easy process.

Thanks for everyone 🤘 & I have one question for you about the flight booking, do I need to show the round-way air tickets at the airport immigration?

Im trying to line up somewhere to rent on my first DTV entry. Does anyone have any recommendations of finding rental spaces for 6 months? Or even month to month. I've been searching on fazwaz and thailand property. Just wondered if there are any others? I am thinking of maybe 2 months in Bangkok and 4months in Phuket on the DTV.

I would like to see if I can get a soft power Muay Thai, DTV.

I have been training for a few months now and been doing border run, but a DTV might be better if I would like to continue.

There is only one question that I can seem to get an answer to….

I travel with to t(w)eens whom are being unschooled.

How would it work for the kids if they don’t attend school?

Would it even be possible for me to get such DTV?

Hey! Has anyone recently applied for a DTV from Cambodia? I submitted my application on February 4th but haven’t received any updates yet. Is anyone else experiencing the same situation?

Hi, hoping someone can help me as there's too many posts to navigate here 😓. As a U.S. citizen currently in Thailand, I'm wondering where the best embassy to apply for the DTV visa would be?

Also, for the financial requirements, I've read a lot different answers on this but will the embassies require 6 months of bank statements or just the latest? My plan was to transfer the 500k baht to my bank account just to apply for this visa but I'm afraid this will not suffice?

Any guidance is much appreciated! 🙏🙏🙏

After reading about it can I leave my 90 day report till I renew my visa? I'm currently about 7 and a half hours away and they want me to travel there to report because I missed the online date. I usually get an email reminder but didn't this time.

A Canadian friend just shared this notice that Canada will stop issuing income letters on 1 April. Fortunately he renewed his non-O visa just recently but will have to figure a new method for next year.
