Any Dubai UAE self employed persons got DTV.

I was approved for the DTV out of the Los Angeles office, on my second pass. First pass was rejected because of middle name versus middle initial on application. I applied under the remote worker category.

I just saw someone post about adding a dependent after being approved. My wife is currently on the one year renewable retirement visa. We would consider adding her as a dependent of mine. I do travel back and forth to the states often. She stays in Thailand for much longer periods of time, but the 180 day max would not be an issue as we do a lot of travel to nearby countries.

I know I can research on my own, but can anyone give feedback on the process of adding her to mine and anything we should be aware of? Thanks in advance.

DTV in Prague

Applied as Freelancer, applied on 18th October received 1st November.

Documents required:

- Confirmation of stay in Thailand (5 months Bangkok + 4 months Phuket, both via Airbnb)

- Receipt of payment for accommodation (from Airbnb)

- Flight ticket to Bangkok

- Flight ticket exit before 180 days

- Bank statements (6 months) with 500.000baht from Revolut (saving account)

- Bank statements (6 months) with payments from clients from Revolut (Eur account, different from saving)

- Local Bank statements (6 months) for proof of tax payments

- Trading licence in Czech + google translation in English

- Portfolio

- CV

- Contracts with clients signed by both parties

- Czech residence card/proof of residence (also gave Czech driving licence)

- Interview even if it was an E-visa just to talk and explain basically everything I submitted, my intention in Thailand, why Thailand and so on

Staff was quite nice during the interview, they sure ask for a lot of documents compared to other places, but if you have all your cards in order you will get it, if you try to cut corners because you don't have all the requirements, well, you will have issues.

Has anyone applied for a DTV and been rejected. Do you pay upfront and lose the fee or what happens.

Anybody knows how to apply in Philippines? I’ll be in Siargao next week…

Pattaya agents got harder to open a bank account. They say rules got stricter recently. Anybody can reccomend an visa agent in Pattaya to open a bank account?

Can the 500k in bank be spent/withdrawn after dtv approval or required to keep it in bank throughout?

No plans to extend in thailand after 6 months

DTV in HCMC: Approved

Big thanks to this amazing group, it really helped a lot!

Arrived 28.10 and applied as soon as I got to my hotel, it was almost 3AM when I submitted it.

Documents: photo + passport Company's registration + documents to prove that I'm the sole owner

Bank statement for the last 3 months with over 500k THB in there ( only 5 transactions in the last 3 months since I don't use that account much and it was fine)

Portfolio: my website links, YouTube channel links as well as screenshots from the studio page where it shows analytics and explaining only owner/manager could see that part of the channels)

Explaining that I own the websites and 3 of these YouTube channels + manage on YouTube channel for the client + what I do and it is all done remotely

Wise payment slip from my client that she paid me (through her personal account though and it was fine)

No extra documents needed. Approved Friday 22:53 (!!) I was surprised to get approved outside of the business hours but sure am glad I did and can go to Thailand today instead of spending the weekend here.

Edit: forgot to add proof of location. For that I gave them arriving to Vietnam visa stamp + Wise account statement where last 2 transactions are from Vietnam

Has anyone else been waiting since the 23rd for DTV visa without receiving approval yet? At cambodia!!

Need recommendation of Muay Thai gyms in pattaya who are government approved etc (hopefully in jometien)
