Hi Guys,

I got my DTV approved from HCM today 5th March afternoon.

Nationality: Italian

Digital Nomad Workation (Owner and director of a UK LTD)

Here the details:

1) Applied Friday 28th February night:

- Stamp on the passport and arrival boarding ticket as a proof of current location in Vietnam

- Bank statement of only 3 months with more than 500,000 baht for all the 3 months in the account (my bad I didn't upload directly the 6 months bank statements)

- Proof for the status of digital nomad: quick introduction about the company, incorporation documents and certificate, proof of transactions and 2 examples of contract with the related bank transfers

2)Monday 3rd March morning I received a request for additional documents:

- Financial evidence: amount of no less than 500,000 THB, e.g. bank statements, sponsorship letter : A deposit account shows the transactions last 6 months and the account balance or a combination of a deposit/saving account totaling not less than 500,000baht. Stock/Crypto/Bitcoin/Investment/Business/PayPal account and sponsor are not accepted.

- Other request documents: Provide a company profile that includes details about its history, vision, mission, products, and achievements.

- Other request documents: Provide motivation letter

For point 1) I attached the Bank statements of 3 banks of the last 6 months (because some of them were in Italian language).

For point 2) I attached the full description of every point (vision, mission etc), I explained all the process with example and pictures of how I create the product/services and how I sell it. I specify that my business is NOT related or has any interest with any kind of Thai entities.

For point 3) I mentioned real interest for Thai culture and I will be honored to have the possibility to stay in the kingdom. I mentioned again that my business is running 100% remotely and do not have any interest in the kingdom. I mentioned again that I can sustain myself and I have health insurance for emergency.

3) Tuesday 4th March morning went to pending approval.

4) Today 5th March approved in the afternoon.

Thanks to everyone for the info πŸ™πŸ»

Thanks for your helpful report 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.

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.

Did you have to have the 500k in the bank at all times ? Or could it go lower at times than back up ?
