I’m 19, I got my DTV approved at the Royal Thai Embassy in Yangon, Myanmar, despite everyone saying it wasn’t possible due to me not being 20.

I’m a high earner, a part time freelancer and also work a 9-5 corporate job. I think it might have resulted in my visa approval.

I applied in person at embassy, where I had a casual interview with the Consul General. She asked about my work and travel history, but mostly, she seemed genuinely interested in my previous travels in Thailand.

The next day, I collected my approved visa and passport.

The documents I submitted included:

- Resume

- Company Certificate

- Company Extract

- Company Tax Payer Identification

- Employment Contract (Approved and Stamped by the Ministry of Labor)

- Statment by the Board of Directors supporting remote work applications.

- Formal request letter from my company to the Royal Thai Embassy

- Balance Certificate Issued by Bank

- 6 months of bank statement

It’s not a hefty process, if you align with their criteria I’m sure they won’t make it difficult for you.

Good luck with your DTV applications everyone. Everything is possible!

I’d like to apply for my DTV in Ho Chi Minh. I live in Vietnam and am legally registered here, so I would have to apply in HCM anyway. Will I be able to apply for the visa online, or do I need to apply in person?

Is there anything specific that the HCM visa center might require? I know some visa centers ask for additional paperwork sometimes. I’m a freelancer, so I’m a bit limited on financial documents. Also, do I need to show a balance of $15,000 over a 6-month period, or just at the time of applying?

Does anyone have experience with spouses of DTV holders applying for a DTV? Is there anything special that needs to be provided?

Feeling uneasy..flight at 505pm today but still my evisa from Vietnam is nowhere to be found..still processing the system said..6 days now..so in worse case scenario hubby has to fly alone, I lose my flight and will be stucked here in Bkk for a few more days alone till the evisa comes..sucks! But still hoping I get it before check in counter closes.. 🤞

I successfully opened a bank account with a DTV visa without incurring any extra charges or needing an agent.

You can also open a bank account at most TTB Bank branches with the following documents.

Hi everyone,

I was just denied the DTV visa at Savannakhet because they wanted the original remote work letter from my company, and I only had a printout (and presumably they needed original bank statements also). They needed the documents to have signatures, although not sure if that means original signature with ink, or a copy of a signature. And from the previous posts here it seems to me that other people submit simple printouts and that gets accepted?

So my questions to who went through this already are:

- When you applied in-person, did you have to bring all originals with signatures/stamps, or just printouts?

- How would you possibly get an original bank statement if your bank is in Europe? You'd have to get it mailed to you?

And lastly

- Since they're moving to an online system next month, do I understand correctly that they won't be requiring originals anymore? Since a PDF file is not an "original" in a sense that it doesn't have a genuine signature, unless we're talking about digital cryptographic signatures (which is probably not what they're looking for).

My main bank account has had less than 500,000 in it as all my money is tied up in investments and such.

I've just dumped 500,000 baht into my bank account and have a statement showing the account has more than 500,000 baht inside, however, will this be a red flag due to not having 500,000baht worth of my hoem currency in my account for over 6 months?

Is a bank statement with my address on it a proof of address?

Also, i'm currently in Australia, ready to go to thailand but i'm sending this off. Once the visa is in motion, can I leave and visit thailand on a 60 day tourist visa or do I have to stay out of the country until it gets approved?

Which visa type is the DTV listed under?

Also, has anyone gone through the process in Singapore before?

Just successfully got the DTV visa. Since this visa is already a multiple entry, do we still need to apply multiple entry at the airport when leave Thailand the first time with DTV?

TIA

Hi guys I have applied for DTV in Penang Malaysia and would like to know if I could travel to Thailand as I have already sticker Visa as visitor before applying DTV. Would there be any issue?
