ORIGINAL POSTER

Applying for DTV as digital nomad / remote work in Hanoi Vietnam. US passport. I think I got the bank/work docs lined up.  Questions:

Does the residence/location back in

Thailand have any meaning? Or ok to put some hotel address? I don't have a condo yet nor idea where I’ll live long term. Need to add supporting docs of any kind for this?

Dates-

not sure what date I'll get in (as I don't know when visa will be approved and if I book the flight immediately after) nor when I leave Thailand again (not planning to stay long until I come back to bring all my personal items from the US later in 2025-26)

Lastly do I must enter Thailand within 3 months of visa issuance or can come back in late 2025-6? Hearing conflicting opinions. 

Thank you great group!

Hey Ido, all these questions have been asked before. Since we don't know your situation or embassy, it'd be best if you searched this group for the name of the embassy you apply to and for your questions.
