If I go to Taipei, how long does the DTV visa process take once applying?

Hi everyone, I'm planning to apply online for my DTV (soft power in Muay Thai) in Hanoi. Since the approval time is uncertain, will getting a one-way ticket cause any issues?

Thank you!

Greetings all! I am super excited to let you all know that my DTV was approved!

I received lots of helpful information by searching within the group so thank you!

UPDATE:

Date of Application: 12 Dec 24

Date of Approval: 16 Dec 24

Embassy: Washington, D.C.

DTV purpose/category: Thai soft power related activity

Company: Bangkok Thai Cooking Academy (highly recommend)

I’m not sure if it helped any, IF at all, but when I submitted my bank statement, I also submitted my VA benefit letter with it. (I combined the two documents into one via Adobe)

I’m not saying you NEED to do that, as it’s not a required document to submit, but since there was no opportunity to submit additional documents, MY logic for doing that was to show them that in addition to the money in my account, I also have monthly income coming in. That way they can see I can absolutely support myself financially while in the country.

Hello.

I currently have a Thailand Elite membership and a 5 year PE visa sticker in my passport valid until 2026.

Can I exit Thailand apply for a DTV in another country, then enter Thailand on a DTV?

Will I be refused a DTV due to having another visa in my passport?

Or is it OK to have two different types of visa and enter Thailand on which one is best suited to my purpose of visit?

Thankyou for any advice.

I submitted to LA consulate on Friday and today they're requesting 2 documents that I've already submitted:

1. Proof of business registration - I submitted a PDF copy of my client's EIN registration document and secretary of state account number + LLC details (pulled this one from the state's corporate business search website)

2. Employment contract - My contract is labeled as "service contract", as that is what my client's company calls them

I submitted a self employment declaration letter and a cover letter also that both indicated all of these but I'm wondering if they just missed both of these in the original application?

Do I need to relabel the contract something else + submit a diff LLC doc or just submit again what I originally sent in with the application?

With DTV since November….

My question is, how is gonna be the tax situation? Are we eligible to pay tax in Thailand or not?

Hi, does anyone know if taipei are open next Monday and tuesday.

I have checked the holidays calendar for them and can't see a holiday for these days, also contacted them but no reply

If I apply for the workation category DTV in one consulate and get rejected, can I apply for a soft power DTV in another consulate? Any potential issues with that? Is there a minimum time I need to wait between applications?

Hey everyone, is it possible to become tax resident in Thailand with the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) while staying in the country for less than 180 days per year?
