Hello!

Can I come on a one way ticket on DTV? Or I need to have a return ticket? Is it mandatory?

It is bit strange to anticipate & book your return ticket when you are planning to stay long term in Thailand.

Any suggestions/ workarounds will be really helpful to plan my DTV journey!

THANKS!

Has anyone applied for the freelancer visa with the 500,000 baht but no freelance income recently and got approved ?

We got our DTV in Laos! 3 day process, smooth and easy.

Lmk if you have an questions

I already submitted my application like this. The arrival and departure are same date. I got confused. It’s for DTV Jakarta. Do you think I will get denied for such a small mistake ?

Anyone have any info about Bitcoin and tax for 180+ day stay ?

If I use bitkub for change btc to THB and withdraw to my Thai account .

Let’s say 1-2Million per year .

What should I do in theory ?

My best and sorry for my basic question I will use professional people for future but maybe someone was in this situation and could add some details 🙏

My best

I applied 3 days ago for The DTV visa.These are the documents I sent in my application :

Financial evidence:

- November bank statement of my Moroccan Bank with arround 310 000 THB (in 30 november).

- Three bank statement of Payoneer bank (US Bank): 209 000 THB (in 5 December).

Employment contract or employment certificate:

- Certificate of Earning downloaded from UPWORK ( it's mentioned that I am freelancer and signed by Upwork ).

- Weekly invoices of the last three months.

Today, I received an email asking for these documents:

- Financial evidence: amount of no less than 500,000 THB, e.g. bank statements, sponsorship letter : Please upload the latest bank savings account indicating applicant's name with amount of no less than 500,000 THB. Do Not upload screenshot file.

- Employment contract or employment certificate in their country or professional portfolio showcasing digital nomad, remote worker, foreign talent or freelancer status : Please upload professional portfolio showcasing digital nomad.

What is the maximum time to upload the new documents requested ?

If there is someone that experienced the same thing, please advice 🙏.

Does anyone know about the ‘Safe Entry’ visa system? It’s where you pay a visa agency to ensure that when you enter Thailand by air, you’re guaranteed a visa on arrival or visa exemption.

The agency claims it’s a legitimate process – you still go through immigration as normal, but they say you’d be directed to a different, fast-track counter.

Is this a scam, or is it a legitimate service? Has anyone had experience with it?

How long does it take to apply for a METV. Can I apply from outside my country of citizenship or residence?

Where near Thailand is the process currently the quickest?

Also, does anyone have experience with using a short-term loan or a family sponsor to meet the financial requirements? I’m not exactly sure how much is needed, but I’ve heard of people taking out loans just to show the required funds. I’m not sure how safe or reliable this option is.

For context, I’m British.

Hi. New here . First post. I heard there is now a 10 year visa for living in Thailand. Is this true?

I have a criminal record. Not a bad one and not within 5 years.

Will this prevent me from living in Thailand?
