Hi everyone,

I have a serious (but slightly funny) question. I’ve been following หมอลำ (Mor Lam) for quite some time and love going to concerts all over Isaan. I take lots of photos, enjoy the atmosphere, and over the years, I’ve even gotten to know some of the big troupe leaders personally. It’s really become a big part of my life here 🎤🎶

Lately, I’ve been wondering… would this kind of cultural involvement be enough for a DTV Visa? I mean, Mor Lam is a huge part of Thailand’s soft power, and I’m definitely committed and can proof it as well —I even thought about trying to sing and learn it myself (not saying it would sound good, but hey, I’d give it a shot!).

Or maybe I should go for the Muay Thai DTV instead? Some Mor Lam concerts do have fights on the side—planned or not—so maybe that counts as cross-training? 😆

Would love to hear your thoughts. Has anyone heard of a case like this before?

Thanks in advance! 😊

Submitted my application to the Los Angeles consulate on Jan 30th for workcation digital nomad.

Received a request on February 14th for more documentation. They wanted to see a tax return, portfolio, and business registration. I sent that all the same day.

No update on the dashboard since, it still says "Pending document check".

I read on Reddit that it takes 2-4 weeks normally with the LA consulate. I am now entering week 5.

Anyone else have experience with the Los Angeles consulate and timeframes?

Looking for reviews on nomad insurance. I'm looking at Genki and Safety Wing. Has anyone made a claim from Thailand?

Has anyone signed up to learn Thai food to get a DTV visa? Seems like a lot of Thai agents use this to help with visa applications

Do people get DTV approval on weekends?

For DTV Soft Powers application, is 500,000 baht inheritance okay? Will they ask how I will earn money while living here? Any advice regarding this please :)

Has anyone got their DTV approved from Da Nang?

Is Hanoi preferred, or Da Nang is ok?

Hi all!

What happens when you leave the company you worked for remotely while applying for DTV? moving to a new remote job or starting a freelance career?

Thanks!

Hi All,

New in the group here, hope some one can help. I am UK based and in the process of opening my limited company and hoping to move to Thailand in September with a DTV. It will be me and my spouse (civil partners) who for the moment won't be working. Questions:

1)do we need to show a total of 1M baht or only 500,000 baht will do it?

2)would it be wiser to include my spouse name in my limited company (as if we were working on the same on line business)?

3)roughly how long is the process doing it from the UK?

4)if my partner applies via a course/arts/muay thai etc. how does this work, as obviously the course won't be five years

5)my business will be e-commerce. As a proof shall I just show a bunch of on line stores URLs?

Thanks in advance
