Hi

I would like to share my experience with application for DTV in Taipei based on workcation. Im employed by my own company back in EU.

Whole application took exactly 5 working days. I honestly expected it to be faster (based on previous reviews) but cannot complain :) I was on holiday anyway.

In the past I was on Non-O marriage visa but since they cancelled multiple entry option last year I had to find some new solution and DTV seemed like the best option. Im rarely in Thailand more than 90 days in a row so 1 year extension of Non-O visa based on marriage would be complicated for me(waiting period etc...).

Applied on 17.2.2025 in the morning with these documents:

* Cover letter (with reasons why I apply and overview of documents that I provided)

* Employment contract

* Remote work confirmation letter (allowing myself to work from Thailand)

* Overview of my work tasks (simple PDF with screenshots of my daily work and comments)

* Extract from business register about my company (date of incorporation, identification number etc...)

* Personal bank statements with more than 500 000 THB (deposited 3 months ago) and with highlighted salary income (6 months)

* Payslips (6 months)

* Accomodation confirmation letter from my wife (letter, copy of ID and Tabien Baan) that she allow me to stay with her in Thailand :)

* Certificate of entry an exit dates from National Immigration Agency in Taipei as a proof of current location

* Booking confirmation for accomodation in Taiwan (the embassy staff didnt care about this since they have certificate of entry a exit dates)

* Ticket to Thailand

* Ticket to back to EU in 6 weeks

Some documents were in English and some were translated to English by rapidtranslate.org

3 hours after I sent my application the status switched from Pending document check to Pending approval

On 18.2.2025 in the evening I received an interview request on 21.2.2025

Interview was honestly not that bad. I was asked why I apply in Taiwan and not back in my coutry. Why Im not applying for Non-O visa and then some questions about my work and life. The embassy staff was friendly but strict at the same time :) In and out within 20 mins.

3 hours after my interview I received approval. I hope this helps you somehow.

Hello, about to travel from Thailand to Vietnam to apply for my dtv.

Just a few questions. Dtv can take up to 10 days for approval?

If I’m adding my husband and son as dependants, how much time will that add? Do I get approval first for me and then begin the application to add as dependants. Or do I do this simultaneously?

Basically I’m wondering how long of a trip do I need to book, roughly.

Thank you!

My passport will expire in 2027 and May I know DTV visa can still valid with new passport number for rest 3 years. Thank you 🙏🏻.

Any latest info about opening an bank account on DTV?

I’m planning to submit for a DTV Workcation for my family. I’m not married and have 3 kids with my partner. Do I need to be married for my partner to qualify as ‘spouse’ and be eligible to accompany me on my visa?

Questions Regarding 1-Year Extension for Non-O Retirement Visa: 🙏🙏

1. Is it mandatory to provide proof of 800,000 THB being transferred from abroad, or is it sufficient to have the 800,000 THB seasoned in a Thai bank account for at least two months before applying for the extension?

2. Is there a processing or waiting period for the visa extension application? If yes, how long does it typically take?

3. Am I allowed to leave Thailand during the consideration period for the visa extension?

Hi All,

I want to apply for 30 day extension beyond my first 60 days here. I need to have my next host file a TM30 for me so I can get my extension approved by immigration office.

However, if the host does not file it for me, can I just bring proof of domicile (receipt with info) to the immigration office or does the host actually have to tile the form online for them to see it and approve me when I come in?

Thank you
