May I know if house registration doc for opening bank account must be the one for the place that I actually live in?

because my landlord said he doesn’t have house registration doc for my place, but he gives me the one for his home cuz his name is in the doc. Does it work?

Hi, I just got my DTV, that I applied for when I was in Spain last month, but was granted when I arrived back in the island.

I understand I need to go to a Visa run to stamp it.

My question is: how to apply for the DTV3 for my family? I asked the Spanish Embassy, but if we are not in Spain anymore, they can't help. I also talked with visa agents and the immigration office and they don't have it clear.

Any ideas?

Hello everybody I am applying for a DTV visa. I don't undestand the meaning of 1)Biodata page of Passport or Travel Document. I don't understand the meaning of what is being asked of me. I have to attach a scan of my passport, is this scan enough or do they want my flight ticket to Thailand? What is meant by travel document? Can a travel document also be a hotel reservation? I await your kind instructions. Thank you in advance for your availability

DTV Remote Worker application approved! 🥳👏

It took 25 days total, and extra documentations. For anyone wanting a frame of reference for their own experience, I'll share mine since your stories helped me get it together:

I'm a Cambodian-American, and have never been to Thailand. I'm a character artist, and art teacher. I sell and ship my own illustrations, but I also teach and instruct and stream to students online. Been doing the latter for about 6 months now.

I applied online through the LOS ANGELES THAI EMBASSY CONSULATE (CALIFORNIA).

1) Submitted Application on Feb 8th (Sat)

- Website said $15k proof, but the app said $16k proof. I submitted $16k proof. Gave them a quick stack of screenshots of my websites in a pdf. A seller's permit for California, my investment account.

2) Requested further documents Feb 18th (Tue end of day)

- They wanted proof of $17,000 usd, Investment portfolios DO NOT count (they specifically expressed that)

- EXTENDED Business Portfolio... (I authenticated my own letter, and signed it with my logo simply saying I'm self employed😅) I spent 3 days compiling 35 pages of financials, pay stubs, remote virtual assistants proof, email marketing campaigns, screenshots, ETC stuff I do-- compressed into a PDF.

- Business Registration (Didn't have one, so I sent my FBN/DBA application. It was pending, and not fully renewed yet)

- Most recent tax return (2024 is the first year in 10, that I have not made a profit. That didn't seem to matter! as long as I had liquid assets and an operation generating income.)

3) Submitted further documentations Feb 24th (Mon morning)

4) Approval Mar 5th (Wed Noon)! 🥳

- E-Visa was emailed to me.

Let me know if you have questions. Thank you all for sharing your stories. I fly out in 3 weeks :)

Can I purchase a new car with DTV visa, if so what documents will I require and where do I get them.

I tried to search but only takes me to Meta/AI search, not within the group page.

Aircon recommendation.

Hello! I am looking for recommendations for an 18,000 BTU air conditioner and would like to know if you can recommend any of these models:

1. Samsung AR18BVHCMWKNXL

2. LG VX182C1

3. Hisense AT182DK

Any suggestions on which would be the best option in terms of performance, energy efficiency, and low noise levels? Thanks in advance!

Hi TVA,

I will be arriving in Thailand next week and wonder if I will be asked to show my departure flight at immigration?

Hopefully will get a 60 day stamp in the passport.

Will the officer request to see my outbound flight ticket?

Hi, I'm getting mixed answers on other platforms. Can a South African do a non-b visa run to Laos?
