Hi there, I'm planning to apply for the DTV visa from Dubai, but I can't find the application form on the embassy's website. Does anyone know where I can find it?

Hi,

I am currently on Smart Visa which expires on Nov 20.

Should I cancel my visa before leaving Thailand or it will be cancelled automatically after swtiched to DTV at Laos?

Hello. I received a DTV before I departed the states. My family’s approval took longer and we are now in Thailand. MY spouse was denied on my DTV because of a spacing error on his name on the application. They said I can reapply. My question is can I apply with the e-visa system for a spouse on my DTV while in Thailand then do an overnight or two in a neighboring country and cross back to Thailand? Or will I have to apply in a Thai embassy in a neighboring country? Thanks for any help.

Has anyone had a DTV approved through the online application in Australia?

Interested to hear of what the requirements for paperwork were for the workation / digital nomad option as a freelancer. And how long it’s taking to get approved.

Also anyone that has had dependants (wife and children) approved also.

Thanks 🫡

For those who applied in Vientiane, did you have your bank statement notarized??

Approval from the Hanoi embassy in less than 24 hours!

I applied for DTV via the Muay Thai route on Wednesday, while technically still in Thailand (at the airport, after immigration with an exit stamp in my passport). I provided:

* statements (SG bank account, 1 month)

* passport copy

* conformation letter from Muay Thai gym

* hotel booking in Ha Noi

By the time I landed, I received additional document requirements:

* a new copy of bank statements (poor quality the first round)

* passport copy of confirmation letter signatory

* entry stamp to Vietnam

* business registration of Muay Thai gym

I provided the docs immediately. The following morning (Thursday) I received an additional email requesting:

* work permit of the person who signed the confirmation letter (non-Thai individual).

5 hours later I received an approval email. Total time - 22 hours. Total cost - 33k THB (gym package), 10k THB (visa cost), costs related to travelling to Vietnam.

Hi Everyone. Thanks so much for help. Can I confirm if I am applying for a DTV (from Australia) as the main applicant and include my Wife as a spouse it appears we need to show a supporting bank balance of 500,000 THB each. Can the combined amount (1,000,000 THB) be in a joint bank account (me & my Wife's name) or do we need to have 500,000 THB in 2 separate bank accounts in our individual names?

For those thinking about applying for the DTV in Taiwan, here is an up to date statement (received 5min ago).

The link in there is the one you probably already know if you researched Taiwan:

So it's still a walk-in, no appointment kind of thing. 👍

DTV Visa Success - Germany, Munich:

The process took about 9 days, including weekends and a public holiday. I applied for a new passport / express 1 day before so i uploaded a "pre-passport" document, but it was rejected twice. After explaining to the embassy, I later uploaded my actual passport, and the visa was issued the next day.

Question: My passport has 10 digits (bottom left) but 9 digits (top right). The german passport office said this is normal. Could this cause issues at border control?

Good luck to everyone!
