Update:

All approved without any further documents. Submitted as advised here, for which thanks to all.

Update 2.

Spouse/dependant visa now in too. 10 working days on the button. RTE Cambodia, no further docs.

Phew.

Anyway, apart from patience I learned a new skill at least: creating, merging and compacting PDFs!

Hello.

I own and run a portfolio of 9 UK rental properties remotely from Thailand and Cambodia. I have retirement visas in both and own a property in Thailand - usually need to fly back to the UK several times a year - and would like to change from retirement visa to DTV

On reading other people's experiences here, I've just opened a Ltd company with me as director.

Advice please on how to write the letter to myself saying I can operate this remotely.

Also, should I mention the property in Thailand/submit the yellow book?

Reason for wanting to change to DTV is that it isn't easy to have one's (in my case Cambodian) spouse accompany one on a retirement visa anymore (this is confirmed by Thai embassy, Cambodia). We will be applying in Cambodia.

Many thanks for your input

Can I open a bank account today, perform multiple transactions, and issue a bank statement to apply for for a visa next week? Is that possible?

Hi all! Got a question for the duration of validity for the visa.

When you get a DTV through soft power and let’s say, the package you purchased is for only 6 months, after it has been approved, The DTV itself will remain active for all 5 years (just with a required extension of every 6 months) even if the course itself has concluded (I.e after 6 months) correct?

Hello everyone.

My DTV was approved (Ho Chi Minh). It took a week longer than anticipated and I came back to Thailand early (entered with a tourist visa).

I'm planning a trip to KL next week to get the DTV stamp. I've been there many times, so I was thinking of returning the same day. Would Thai immigration have any problems with it?

I know those border runs were more of an issue when entering back into Thailand with a tourist visa. Would it be fine to do a 3-4 hour trip, but entering with DTV this time?

Hi, I obtained a DTV from the Thai embassy in London.

I printed a copy to travel with but we had a super rushed transit through BKK to our onward flight for Krabi and I completely forgot to show the paperwork, I mistakenly believed it would be on their system as soon as my passport was scanned.

Subsequently my very travel weary brain decided it would be a good idea to check my passport and my stamp was just the 60 day one.

Has anyone had a similar experience and could offer advice on the best course of action? Many thanks

Hopefully someone can help me with this. I have had a request of documents for my DTV.

1) a bank statement with the 500k baht ( which i sent in my original documents)

But will send again

2) business license ( which I also sent my 2024 and 2025 in my original documents) but will send again

Not sure why I have to send them when I sent them already but whatever

3) upload proof or remote work

- this is the one I need the help with, I already sent a cover letter explaining what I do ( I’m a residential Cleaning company owner) I have employees and I have a manager that runs my business, anything I do for my business I do remotely such as social media marketing, payroll, speaking with clients ( when needed and my manager can’t) scheduling etc. I put this all in my cover letter to them along with links to all my social media pages etc , what can I send them as proof of remote work with my name on it like they are requesting

Please help
