DTV soft power approved in Phnom Penh Cambodia. I used Discover Thai Nature Seminars. [members only]/

Applied Dec. 6th did not get asked for any additional documents approved Dec. 19th.

I provided 6 months of bank statements, Visa stamp and hotel confirmation in Cambodia and the three page document provided proving Soft Power Seminar. Hope this helps good luck everybody.

Guys I’m going to apply DTV and right now I am in Bangkok. Pls guide me how could I get a rental contract conditional or subject to visa approval? Is there notary public office that does this if I pay money ?

Trying to show proof of money and i've got money over 4 different accounts.

I've transfered it all into one account to get a screen shot, but I don't want it to look dodgy or suspicious.

Also, I'm trying to prove my payments, but it's only allowing me to upload one file statement... How can I show them my money coming into multiple different accounts to prove I'm making money + have 500,000+ Baht in savings?

Quick question, can I show 2 accounts with money adding upto 500,000 baht from the uk, say £6000 in each account? I don't keep more than £10000 in any one account....Thankyou

Denied in Taipei🥲

Type: remote worker (for 1 company, not freelance)

Situation: coming from non B visa

Heartbroken to say that I was denied in Taipei. It is a specific situation, as I have worked in Thailand, legally for 3 years. I accepted a remote job and came to Taipei to switch my visa type to DTV.

Even with a current contract and first payment made by current company (+600,000 tbh banked and consistent income for past 6 months from past job), they denied because they wanted me to have 6 months of income *from my current contract.*

Note: I also had everything else in order, including the employment letter (stating remote position), company registration documents etc.

The issue they had, specifically, was was that I hadn’t been in my current role for 6 months. Pretty much they told me to leave and try again in 6 months time when I am established at my new job. There was no remedying it with them.

— and genuinely this was so shocking because I’d never heard of this being the case for anyone else before. Am I wrong on this?

So, if you are coming from a non B and are switching to remote work, please be aware that this is the way Taipei approaches this scenario.

If you have a similar work history but successfully gotten a DTV visa, can you please comment? I’d really like to understand what else I can do and how I can better plan my application in the future.

Hey guys, I’m currently in Thailand and trying to figure out how to stay longer—around 3 months or more.

I’d like to avoid land border runs (I really don’t trust those mini-vans 😅), but I’m trying to plan things out properly.

Here’s my situation so far:

- June 2 to July 10, 2024: I stayed in Thailand earlier this year (used the 45-day visa exemption + 30-day extension).

- December 9, 2024, to February 7, 2025: I’m currently here again (planning to use the 60-day visa exemption + 30-day extension).

I'm from Portugal, Europe..if that matters.

In February 2025, I’m thinking about leaving by plane for a week, go to China for a few days, and then flying back to Thailand.

My goal is to get another visa exemption for another 2-3 months.

I know it’s ultimately up to the immigration officer, but how strict are they considering the days I spent here the last year?

Would this work, or should I look into another solution?

I’m planning to get an DTV/ED in June 2025, so I just need to figure out how to handle my stays until then.

Thanks for any tips or experience you can share!

Would this work, or should I look into another solution? Train, if there's an option?

Quick update: as I heard , the embassy in hcmc vietnam takes quite long. Since everyone is now rushing to this embassy because they think it's faster. So now It's been 6 or 7 days now and some people still haven't got their dtv. Just to let you guys know. Maybe Taiwan or Jakarta will be quicker now.

Does anyone here that apply for DTV have kids? And which route are you guys going? I have kids AND i want them to attend international school. In which areas you have your kids attend school and how the process works please let me know thanks..

Hello, I am planning to relocate to Thailand with my partner and would like to obtain a five-year DTV based on soft skills. I intend to pursue online education while developing culinary skills. (I would likento find remote work after I graduate) My boyfriend plans to secure a teaching position after six months of exploring our desired location. Can we both enter on a soft DTV and subsequently find employment as teachers, or will he need to apply for a work visa following the expiration of a tourist or education visa?

I also see that maybe if I have a DTV he may be able to apply to one afterwards. I want to ensure we won't have to do so many runs if he can help it. I know the DTV is new butbif anyone has experience with this please comment. Any advice is welcome but please be kind 😇
