Hello, I want to apply for the DTV in germany because I will be there to visit my family before going to Thailand. I'm a german citizen but I'm not registered in germany for more than 2 years as I'm travelling the world. Now I read that they want an official proof of registration of the residence in germany.

Is anybody here who has the same situation and any experience with this?

Update: Thank you for the help so far. For all who understand german I attach a screenshot of the website of the embassy of Berlin. I think it's easier to understand what I mean.

Thank you in advance.

I have Verizon as my cell phone and I'm on a plan where basically I get unlimited 5G, unlimited international calling, unlimited texting and i'm not about to give it up. But, I want a post-paid Thai number for my eSim #2 - any suggestions on companies and/or plans?

FYI - Phone plans

I started with the 15 day unlimited tourist sim. When that ended, i was just going with pre-paid (Dtac). That really chews through the data and the $$ is very high. I have read various posts here and other groups that you need to pay 1 year in advance for monthly post paid plan, or sometimes without work permit they will deny you.

I went to Dtac at Tesco Chalong. No issues at all. To note, you cant convert from tourist sim to post paid until you have had it for 30 days, and i was at only 21 days(maybe only a Dtac rule, im not sure). So i didnt get to keep my original number, but i was able to get onto a new post paid plan, with a new number straight away, no problems.

All i needed was my passport and DTV visa printout (i also had copy of my 1 year lease, but they didnt need to see this). They did ask if we have work permit, but i said no, not able to work. They also asked if we had Thai bank account, but i said no, just Australian bank account.

Plan given on the spot, no pre-payment for 12mths or anything like that.

1199 baht per mth, unlimited fast data, 350 minutes calls to any network.

I'm currently in Thailand on tourist visa and want come back next month to my country - Poland and apply for dtv digital nomad.

I will start my work remotely in next week:

Can this be a problem if I start working while being in Thailand or I am overthinking?or maybe better start work when I will be back in Poland but them I will have agreement only for one week...

Does someone has example of statement which my employee must fulfil ?

Can they ask about my bank statement from few months or only current month?

Thanks in advance

Applied for a business visa. They asked for a document indicating current location (Filipino who traveled to China for business). Submitted my entry stamp as a proof. Few days later, my application got cancelled due to "Inadequate support documents or explanation."

What else do they need or is there anything else I failed to provide? I don't have a hotel booking either since I'm currently staying in the company dormitory here in China.

Has anyone here ever used Payoneer to transfer money to a visa agent? Thinking of getting a retirement visa later.

Marriage Visa: Is it required that the 400K Baht needs to be sent from a foreign bank, and do you need a certificate from bank that the money has been transferred from a foreign account?

How long do I need to wait before I can spend this 400K Baht "after" I've already got the 1 year extension?
