Hello everyone. I'm planning to register for a Muay Thai DTV in France this year-end. Apparently, a proof of accommodation in Thailand is required, but for how many days? For the full 180 days or just a few days upon arrival are enough for get this visa ? Thank you 🙂

What about a REMOTE WORKER DTV when you Just start your own company, and don’t have any clients history yet.

Any experiences.?

In order to respond to all those who asked me what additional documents the embassy asked me for before approval, see the summary of requirements below:

Requested Documents:

1. Biodata page of your passport

2. Official bank statement issued directly by your bank (via official website or physical branch).

Must include: your full name as account holder, transaction history, and most updated balance.

Note Screenshots are not accepted.

3. Proof of current location in Spain. Examples include: electricity bill, municipal registration certificate (padrón), or rental agreement under your name.

4. Proof of last 3 self-employment payments (autónomo). Official receipts or confirmations of your last three freelance/self-employed tax or social security contributions.

5. Concise overview of your professional activities in Thailand. A short explanation of my business or professional engagements during my stay in Thailand.

Include how you will generate income while residing there.

6. Concrete evidence of your job. Documents that demonstrate and verify your professional status (portfolio, client list, contracts, content, etc.).

Hey there,

If you live in the U.S., can you visit a neighboring Asian Country and apply for your DTV from there?

If so, I would love any information on affordable places nearby!

Seeking advice please. Does your employment contract need to state ‘remote’ work for a DTV visa or would ‘home based’ suffice?

I would like some advice. My wife is Thai and I’m an American. We plan to come Thailand in July and stay about 4 months. During that time, we will probably take a trip outside Thailand (maybe Laos, Viet Nam or the Philippines). My question is do I need to get a visa or just use the 60 day exemption and depend on the extensions that are available.

In addition to the normal 60 day extension, can I get a family extensions as I have in the past?

Thanks

Hi guys.

I've just submitted my application in Laos.

I know you have to go to the embassy to pay in cash.

My question is after submitting my application do I just go ahead to the embassy to make payment or do I wait on an email telling me to go pay?

Update: reached out to the Thai embassy in Seoul. After multiple back and forth, they confirmed tourists who entered Korea with K-ETA can apply for the DTV. They stressed the approval could take about a month.

Hi, has anyone applied in Seoul as a non-resident (tourist) and got approved?

I’m a US citizen on a tourist visa undergoing tests in Seoul for a recently diagnosed illness. I’m hoping to apply for DTV under soft power (medical) to continue with tests and treatment in Bangkok. I see on the Thai embassy website that I would need to be residing in South Korea - i find this a bit vague, does this mean the application is only open to residents, or can non-residents (tourists) apply as well as long as they’re in SK until the DTV is issued?

Grateful for any advice, thank you.

As we have heard that Thailand os requiring proof of income again for tourist visa applications for 6p days.

I am reading the update and this is only talking about nationalities required to apply for it.

It isn't saying anything about people under "exempt" status. Where you dont have to apply for a 60 day tourist visa you can show up with approved passport and get the 60 day stamp.

Or am I missing anything?

Hello everyone, I am looking to apply for the DTV visa through taking cooking class route. I am a trader so I do not have any payslip for the past couple years. All my income is passive. I do have the 500K in the bank. Would they still require the me to show the payslips history even tho I go with the taking classes route. I have the options to either apply in Viet Nam or US. What are the chances I will get approved with this route and not being able to show payslips? Thank you all in advance
