Did apply for the DTVisa Thai Soft Power, Jakarta (IND).

Is it possible to submit additional documents later if one does recognize that you forgot to add something alleged relevant after the initial Visa application submission? Is reaching out to the local embassy by eMail welcomed?

I couldn't spot any option for that on the official eVisa website.

Thank you for your attention 🙏

For those who are already in Thailand with a DTV visa and, of course, without being able to open a Thai bank account, how can you continue to access your savings if you do not want to continue having them in your bank account in your country of origin?

Any case? Thanks in advance

Hi everyone,

I’m applying for the DTV online. I’m a UK citizen but currently travelling. Currently in Anguilla, going via the states to Sri Lanka and then to Thailand. I won’t be in any place for long and don’t have residency in any of these places, I am just travelling as a tourist.

I heard I can apply for the evisa putting my current location as the U.K. as I am a citizen and therefore don’t need to prove residency etc. Is this the case if I’m not there? If not, where should I apply?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I did some research to figure out what paperwork I need to submit in my case. If anyone applied on the same grounds,

could you let me know if this is the right paperwork..?

I have an LLP registered in the UK, I'm the only "person with significant control", working remotely for another EU based company. Came up with this list of documents that I'd have to submit;

Core Visa Items

* Passport bio page (valid ≥ 6 months).

* Recent passport photo.

* Proof of current location in the country of application (entry stamp, visa, hotel/lease, etc.).

* Visa fee payment receipt/confirmation.

Employment Proof (foreign employer)

* Employment Contract (with remote-work clause, signed by Designated Member(me) + Employee(me)).

* Employment Certificate (one-page HR-style letter on LLP letterhead, confirming role, start date, salary, remote work incl. Thailand, and no Thai employment).

* Letter of Intent (personal statement to embassy: purpose of stay, funds, compliance).

Financial Proof

* Personal bank statements (≥ 3 months) showing ending balance ≥ 500,000 THB.

* Bank statements showing transfers from LLP account to personal account (salary trail, ideally 3 months).

Optional

* Companies House Certificate of Incorporation + Current Appointments Report (tying your name to the LLP).

* Client contract or invoices proving LLP’s business activity

So when applying as a business owner, is that pretty much the whole documentation you need to submit? Am I missing anything?

Retiring to Thailand from UK mid October maybe 19th. I have the 800k in Uk ready to transfer once I get a Thai account. No thai bank account yet, most likely to go K bank Roi Et. I have yellow book, Thai id. Driving licence ect. Confused. Either go, none immigrant O or OA? Based on retirement. I've filled both applications in but not submitted yet. Getting conflicting info on which is best. Anyone gone on either of these recently?

If OA, what return date would you enter on the application?

Hello,

Has anyone with a DTV heard back from Bangkok Bank after having their account frozen last week? They told me that it would be unblocked by Friday or Monday, or that I would at least hear back from them. The only change to my app is that there is no longer that notification of going to the bank to submit documents within 30 days.

Thanks

Good day

Im at the start of preparing my application for the DTV and I have a few things I would like clarifying if anyone can?

1) I understand that the DTV costs 10,000 baht and that is the only fee I pay regarding the visa itself and that is for 5 years (please correct me if Im wrong)

2) I also understand that if I choose to leave the country when my renewal is due, I avoid immigration and the fee that comes with extending the stay?

If this is the case, is the renewal due every 6 months?

3) If for example, I choose the cooking course, am I required to attend for the first 6 months only? I have a genuine interest in learning cooking anyway so this would be my choice rather than Muay Thai which I have zero interest in

4) Has anyine completed a cooking course that could advise me the approximate cost of the course and at the same time, possibly recommend a course

The way I am seeing things in my minds eye is that subject to submitting a successful application, I arrive in Thailand stamped with the DTV for 6 months where I attend classes for that duration. Once the 6 months is up, I can leave Thailand and return for a fresh uninterrupted 6 months and continue this for the 5 years WITHOUT the obligation to continue with the classes, as 5 years of cooking would lead me to be a Michelen star chef!! 😁

I am over 50 and qualify for the retirement visa but I dont feel this is the best choice for me right now. I will look at the retirement visa if and when I feel like I am going to put serious roots down

Im currently in the UK and will be applying form here. Is everything done online or will I be asked to attend a Thai consulate here in England
