Just an update on successful entering with DTV for the second time at Chiang Mai international.

I entered first time on DTV through Suvarnabhumi airport in January.

Left from CNX after a 5 month stay for a 2 week trip to China.

Arrived last night at CNX, while queuing an immigration officer raised her hand and said “DTV” toward the supervisor for another person entering on DTV. The supervising officer who was controlling the line just waved like it was ok.

When I went up to the immigration officer (not the same one that asked the supervisor) he only asked what I was doing in Thailand and I said “workcation, I work online and live in Thailand”. He smiled and handed back my passport with 180 day DTV stamp.

Additional info: Australian passport holder applied for DTV at Sydney consulate.

Hi! Just wondering if anyone returj flight is needed when coming out to Thailand with the DTV visa? I've not seen this anywhere but a friend who lives in Thailand said they needed a return flight to their home incase they get rejected and have to go back?

If anyone can help that would be much appreciated

Hello everyone,

Quick question cause I’m a bit confused. Been living in Thailand for a while now and we’re used to the 90-day report process.

Last time we travelled out of Thailand was in Dec 2024, did our 90-day at Chaengwattana in March 2025 and only travelled to an island in Thailand in April.

We tried doing our 90-days report online and it was rejected under the reason “For first-time requests of a 90-day notification in each country visit, in-person presentation at the immigration office is required.”

Do they now consider travelling outside of your region travelling outside Thailand?

Thanks!

i wanna do my first 90 days reporting , and in documents i think i need tm30 form also , but i am confused as i have stayed into multiple condo within this 3 months , 1 month in pattaya , then 1 month in bangkok and then 2 to 3 days in hotel and now latest stay is in my condo in bangkom , so which tm30 should i attach as supporting document , can anyone guide me please ?

I'd like to share our experience with the DTV visa application process in Ho Chi Minh City.

I'm choosing to post anonymously because my past interactions haven't been positive. Although some responses to my questions were kind, I encountered a few rude and mean individuals, with some even accusing me of copying other people's content. Despite that, I simply wish to share our journey.

While many say it's an easy application, we opted for Watt, a highly reputable visa agent from

[members only]

for our peace of mind. I believe it was 100% worth it. Although abundant guidance exists online, I'm not particularly adept with documents and tend to over-submit, so I entrusted Watt with the process.

We are e-commerce business owners; my husband is the CEO, and I am the operations manager. We arrived in Ho Chi Minh City on June 4th, and Watt submitted our documents on the same day.

Here's a breakdown of the documents submitted:

Passports with visa stamps

Passport photos

Business registration documents and licenses

A concise employment verification letter, co-signed by both of us for each other

Six months' worth of personal checking account statements showing over 1 million Thai Baht. We met the 1 million Baht requirement for two people in the last two months. Since we are business owners, Watt suggested applying separately, which we did.

Timeline:

June 4th: Paperwork submitted online to the Ho Chi Minh City embassy.

June 7th: Supporting documents requested:

Proof of residence for me, for which I resubmitted my visa stamp along with two receipts bearing my full name (from nail and massage services, easily obtainable).

CVs or business portfolios with two work samples were requested for both my husband and me.

After submitting these additional documents, we traveled to Hoi An and Da Nang with our son. However, our Airbnb was in Ho Chi Minh City, so if further inquiries about our primary residence arose, we could confirm it was Ho Chi Minh City.

June 11th: My visa was approved.

June 19th: My husband's visa was approved.

The entire process was systematic and straightforward. Yes, we paid an agent's fee, but it was minimal and, as mentioned, 100% worthwhile.

Now, we're packing our bags and ready to head to Thailand! ❤️ If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.

What is the minimum income required to be eligible for the DTV visa as a content creator, such as a vlogger or YouTuber? Will the embassy reject the application if the monthly income is below $1,000? Could you please share your experience?

Hi, just wondering if the banks have changed the amount you can transfer from abroad, I was using wise and this message popped up. I never read about a change. I thought the max was 50k apart from the big 3 banks.

Do you need to make an appointment for a 60 day tourist visa application at Savannakhet ?

Hey folks!

I’m considering to apply for the Digital Tourist Visa (DTV) from Singapore and trying to figure out the Digital Nomad vs Soft Power routes.

For the Digital Nomad track—does anyone know if you *have* to have a registered business, or can freelancers get by with just a portfolio? Also, if you have your own company, does your own company letter work for the “letter from company” thing?

And for Soft Power—are there specific companies or activities you have to be with? Any minimum time you need to do them?

Would love to hear how it worked for you or what you’ve heard. Thanks!

I’m going for my first extension next week. Can I ask for a multi-reentry permit at the same time and will that allow me to leave the country and return as many times as I want (during the one year period) without having to get a reentry permit each time with no worry of losing my visa?
