hello, might be a silly question but in regards to the required bank statements, would you be accepting providing statements from a savings account rather than a debit account?

Happy Monday all. Quick question. I have the Non OA with multi entry and I plan to leave Thai for around 2 months in oct. Do I need to get a re-entry stamp and if so how and where do I get it.

I’ve been trying for days to fill out the Thai e visa to enter Thailand from Australia. It allows you to fill out down to accomodation then you can’t proceed further. Any one else had this issue ? Regards Stephen

Hi all,

I will be applying for freelancer DTV from Hanoi, and I have some questions for those who are experienced.

I have an LLC business for video production in the USA. I am planning to submit articles of company registration, tax number for the company, and show my work:

1. Can I use my business account for the proof of funds if my name is also on the bank statements, along with my business name?

2. For the proof of work – I will submit company’s website which has a video reel of previous work. Should I also create a separate portfolio with a collection of videos that show more work? Any input about this is welcome

I do management of my contractors, writing, directing and editing, depending on the project, so it’s difficult to explain everything. Whatever is most effective for the visa purposes, and the simplest way to go.

Thank you all!

Dear friends! I’m thinking to apply for DTV in Phuket. Would you recommended me any Soft Power classes over there if any especially for cooking class? Also do I have to prove 3 months statement of just screenshot of balance while applying with the embassy in Vietnam! Thank you 😊

Hello everyone, I am currently putting together my professional profile for a DTV. I am a company Director but it’s a fairly new business. I’m a British/Irish national as landlord and house developer in USA. Currently only have 4 properties under the company name. Other than providing my company registration certificate, company bank account statement, proof of title ownership of properties, I don’t know what else I can provide? I was thinking I should probably write a letter explaining what it is I actually do?

I have more than sufficient funds in my accounts so assume that won’t be an issue.

Any advice would be helpful thank you.

Question please

Tomorrow l transit in BK on my way to Cambodia from Taiwan.

Do l need to do any procedure for Thai immergration? I am told that there are some strange new requirements

I am sure l don't as it counts as transit.

Thanks very much

For those of you in Thailand on a DTV visa — is Rawai a good place to base yourself as this is where I’ve seen a decent Muay Thai gym under the soft power visa, or would you recommend another area of Phuket?

While I’m out there, I’d love to connect with others into fitness/gym life and digital nomads. Would you recommend renting a motorbike or a car, and what are the typical costs? I know motorbikes are easy to rent, but I only have an international driving license (not a motorbike one), so I’m not sure how that works.

Same with accommodation — did you sort it once you arrived or book in advance? Roughly what are the monthly costs for a decent place in Phuket?

Also, how did you go about meeting like-minded people? I’d like to avoid feeling isolated, as I’m moving from the UK and hoping to meet people into fitness, good vibes, and community.

Any advice would be hugely appreciated as I’m getting flights to Phuket booked and sorting putting things into storage back home in the UK currently preparing to move. Thanks in advance!

For those who are here on the DTV and had their bank accounts closed, what are the options to get a new bank account if you are under 50? If they refuse to open new accounts to people on tourist visas (DTV included), is the only option to either get married or simply buy the Elite visa? I cant imagine living here without a bank account so trying to find a solution to this. Buying the elite visa just for a bank account is not a good option.

I am a dtv visa holder and plan to live in thailand for 179 days a year. What is the best way or bank in th uk to use while in thailand. I would like to use the banks out there who have a foreign transaction counter to get money using a uk card but wondered which one is the best?
