ORIGINAL POSTER
Got my visa approved via Sydney embassy while in Aus (I’m Australia) after being on multiple tourist/education visas over the past few years. I applied for workcation, with a combination of employment in my father’s company and my own business/freelance work. I only transferred the proof of funds money in a couple days before application, but I submitted two letters from my father saying he would sponsor me (1 as my part-time employer and 1 as my father so both grounds were covered based on info I found via searching this group). Just wanted to share this here bc this group helped SO MUCH. Turn around was about 1-2 weeks. πŸ€―πŸ˜πŸŒ»πŸŽ‰ Thank you so much to everyone who supplied info in here, and sending much love to those struggling with their apps (I was SO anxious when/about applying so I really feel for those getting knocked back/feeling understandably confused etc β€οΈπŸ™).

Thank You for your helpful report πŸ‘

Congratulations πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.

That's what you should do... print it out.

You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.

Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.
