Hello, today I’m applying for DTV. I’m in Bali now and will apply online via the Thai Embassy in Jakarta.

For intended stay in Thailand, is it okay if I choose 6 months?

Also, do I really need to book long term accomodation? Is a 1 week hotel booking enough? I’ll move to another place later anyway.

Do I also need a return ticket?

Thanks in advance!
Answer summary
The user is applying for a DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) while in Bali, intending to stay in Thailand for 6 months. They inquire about accommodation requirements and whether a hotel booking for a week is sufficient, as well as the need for a return ticket. Responses clarify that a 6-month stay is acceptable, a one-week hotel booking is sufficient, and a return ticket is not required.

Put 180 days. No return ticket required. And you don't need long term accommodation just show a few nights at a hotel.

Note 180 days or less. A week of accommodation is ok. Return ticket not needed for the DTV

I have a standard contract with my company(US company). I work remotely, but the contract doesn’t mention ‘remote’ or say anything about working remotely from Thailand. Is that a problem?

okay I found some examples. The DTV application form says 3 months of bank statements are required.

If I’m applying today (August 4), should the statement cover May 4 – August 4?

Or should it be from May 1 to July 31 instead? Thanks.

Anonymous participant My self translated bank statements were a bit different to the original. You can find bank statement templates online and fill in accordingly.
