Hello super group, i submitted my visa application last tuesday in Hanoi under the category of freelancer and it has been since on “Pending approval”…since i didn’t know wether they would give it to me or not, i decided to stay 3 months in VN before re-entering Thailand, so i asked the DTV to start in may, in more than 2 months…would it be the reason nothing seems to move ? Anyone has been in my situation ? You need to ask for the visa at maximum 3 months before you start to use it so i thought i was in my right to do so…thanks for your thoughts on that !

Hello, I plan to apply for a DTV visa in Laos as a freelancer. I have been working for a company for 2 months, earning around 400€ from real estate. Is my work experience and salary sufficient? Are these factors considered when applying for the visa?

Does anyone have experience crossing the border with a DTV visa?

Hi. I’m here on a 90day spouse visa and I’m wanting to extend for 60 days. Can someone tell me what papers I need to take to immigration. I’ve tried looking on the UdonThani website but there page isn’t loading. Cheers

My DTV just got approved, here is my timeline.

- I applied on Jan 18th on soft power, medical, with 1 doctor appointment letter indicates baby delivery,

1 joint bank statement over $16000

- 2days later I got email: Proof of current financial evidence ,e.g. Bank statement not less than $16,000/person or $36,000 for joint account that show applicant's name.

- Submitted new bank statement as required.

- long waiting~ status stucked on Pending for a month

- 2 days ago, I wrote an email to info@thaicgny.com states my situation that knowing DTV visa approval status earlier will be a big help considering 1) going to Thailand for pregnancy care and delivery and postpartum care, needs time to make more doctor appointments and settle down. 2) waiting for my DTV visa approved and then apply DTV for my spouse and kid. 3) Have one toddler that needs hiring nanny in advance.

- 1 day later, I received email says already push a note to consider my visa soon.

- Today, got my visa approved

Hi All,

I want to apply for a DTV workcation visa based on my being self supportive by managing my stocks. I see online I will need to provide bank statements, but no specifics. I have scoured the websites, googled it and scrolled down through these FB groups but am still unsure. My questions are:

* Does anyone know if they have specific minimum income thresholds and if so for how many months do they want bank statements?

* I am not incorporated/have no company or paychecks, it's just me and my cap gains and dividend distribution transfers. Have others gotten visas in this scenario?

* I plan to apply while in Ho Chi Minh, but through the ThaiEvisa site portal. Does anyone have any pertinent information on doing it this way versus in person at the embassy in HCM?

* Alternately, how many times in a row can I leave Thailand and re enter under the 60-90 day tourist visa and not have any problems with immigration? I have heard 2-3 times, but what is your knowledge of this?

Hey I am currently at BKK and they wont let me in as I need the DTV. Can anyone recommend the best nearby country that would be the quickest processing time. I consult for a new start up company or I could do Thai language or some other Thai culture activity. What would you recommend?

Hi

I would like to share my experience with application for DTV in Taipei based on workcation. Im employed by my own company back in EU.

Whole application took exactly 5 working days. I honestly expected it to be faster (based on previous reviews) but cannot complain :) I was on holiday anyway.

In the past I was on Non-O marriage visa but since they cancelled multiple entry option last year I had to find some new solution and DTV seemed like the best option. Im rarely in Thailand more than 90 days in a row so 1 year extension of Non-O visa based on marriage would be complicated for me(waiting period etc...).

Applied on 17.2.2025 in the morning with these documents:

* Cover letter (with reasons why I apply and overview of documents that I provided)

* Employment contract

* Remote work confirmation letter (allowing myself to work from Thailand)

* Overview of my work tasks (simple PDF with screenshots of my daily work and comments)

* Extract from business register about my company (date of incorporation, identification number etc...)

* Personal bank statements with more than 500 000 THB (deposited 3 months ago) and with highlighted salary income (6 months)

* Payslips (6 months)

* Accomodation confirmation letter from my wife (letter, copy of ID and Tabien Baan) that she allow me to stay with her in Thailand :)

* Certificate of entry an exit dates from National Immigration Agency in Taipei as a proof of current location

* Booking confirmation for accomodation in Taiwan (the embassy staff didnt care about this since they have certificate of entry a exit dates)

* Ticket to Thailand

* Ticket to back to EU in 6 weeks

Some documents were in English and some were translated to English by rapidtranslate.org

3 hours after I sent my application the status switched from Pending document check to Pending approval

On 18.2.2025 in the evening I received an interview request on 21.2.2025

Interview was honestly not that bad. I was asked why I apply in Taiwan and not back in my coutry. Why Im not applying for Non-O visa and then some questions about my work and life. The embassy staff was friendly but strict at the same time :) In and out within 20 mins.

3 hours after my interview I received approval. I hope this helps you somehow.

Hello, about to travel from Thailand to Vietnam to apply for my dtv.

Just a few questions. Dtv can take up to 10 days for approval?

If I’m adding my husband and son as dependants, how much time will that add? Do I get approval first for me and then begin the application to add as dependants. Or do I do this simultaneously?

Basically I’m wondering how long of a trip do I need to book, roughly.

Thank you!

My passport will expire in 2027 and May I know DTV visa can still valid with new passport number for rest 3 years. Thank you 🙏🏻.
