How long does it take to get a DTV visa approved in Thailand?
Got my DTV approved today. It went as follows:
-Applied 9th of july to Thai embassy (Sweden) as a remote worker (workcation category)
-I filled in all the information they asked, but I also added my latest payslip + a written explanation that my work is 100 % remote, and what I do at my job.
-My application changed status to "Pending approval" on the 15th of july
-Approved on the 16th of July 2025. In total the process took 7 days, including the weekend.
Feels absolutely amazing!

Thank You for your helpful report 👍
Congratulations 👏👏👏
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.

I had the money sitting there for 1 month only. I wrote the explanation by myself in a Word document. I put the latest payslip + explanation letter in the same PDF as my employment contract. And I uploaded it where they asked to insert the contract.Lucas ********
