Hi all, seems like Vientiane has opened few additional slots for visa application next week! And I have managed to secure a slot, do you think if I can apply for the DTV visa directly and anyone know how long will it take for it to be approved? I’m planing to apply with a Muay Thai class in Chiangmai.

Hi,

5 years Elite visa valid until 17 of January 2025. Came back from abroad today at BKK and stamped until 17 of January 2025 and been told this is the way despite me insisting quite a bit I should get a year.

So, I was expecting a one year stamp until October 2025 even with the visa expiring in January 2025 as many people with elite visa did before.

Have the rules changed recently? Anything I can do?

Thanks

Hi, if anyone is applying from Hong Kong, I could do with your tips. They’re asking for my Business Registration but with the “applicants name”. There isn’t such thing, only the business name is on the BR. Catch 22? Thx

Hi lovely people! I'm leaving Thailand in about 10 days to go apply for my DTV. I am trying to choose between Vietnam and Taipei. I would appreciate to hear anyone's personal experiences with either places.

I work remotely but I also get treated for Lupus here in Thailand already so thinking of doing medical soft power since it's much easier to get paperwork together.

I recently signed a lease in Bang Saray (Pattaya area), does anyone know if a copy of my lease will help me?

Any advice or feedback is so much appreciated :)

Applied for evisa from Vietnam (HCMC) and it got approved last night. I applied last friday evening the 11th of october. On tuesday they requested additional docs. And this morning i woke up to see that the visa got approved last night.

Since I applied on friday night, and monday was a national holiday, it only took 2 working days to get my visa approved. It could have been just 1 working day, if I delivered the right documents the first time.

I applied as a remote worker as I have my own digital marketing business, so what I did was i just made a little document explaining what I do, who i work with, what my goals are in thailand, etc.

Then I just added a couple links to my main website and a link to some client case studies, but the problem was that my site is in Dutch, as i serve Dutch and Belgium clients.

So they requested additional information with the remark that everything should be in English or Thai. After that, I spent an hour or 2 to translate some key pages on my website to English. I also added a link to my Google My Business profile.

After this adjustment the visa application got approved.

For proof of location i uploaded another bank statement where I highlighted a recent ATM transaction in Da Nang.

Question to the group who have successfully obtained a DTV VISA in Taiwan or Vietnam.

As online bank statements can now be printed on demand, has anyone submitted a bank statement that is not as of the end of the month? I am asking because if I print my statement as of today, I would meet the required 500K Baht.

Thank you for your time.

I know there are several Muay Thai gyms that help with DTV. Can you recommend some that have multiple locations in different parts of Thailand where it can allow you to train when you move around Thailand during the stay there?

Do you have to enter a proposed entry date into the application because I will be applying for mine and if/when it's approved I'll then be apply for my Wife/Spouse DTV then we will both make plans for a date to fly in (from Australia).

Can you drive your own personal car across the boarder to Malaysia for a visa run?

Thanks
