What are the steps and requirements for obtaining a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Thailand?
Just received approval for DTV from the UK Embassy.
Submitted on 22nd March.
I applied for the workation version as I am the director of a limited company since 2005. It doesn't do much except hold some digital assets that provide an income.
Originally I submitted the documents asked for on the Online form.
> Bank statement (initially I did the company one)
> photo taken on phone
> photo of passport bio page only
> letter from director (me) saying can work remotely and understand thai work/immigration rules and why I should work remotely in Thailand
> copy of utility bill from my rented flat in uk
They requested additional documents after a day or two.
> further letter from authorised person at my company stating I can work remotely. This time I got my accountant to do it in his capacity as company secretary
> personal bank statement. I sent money to natwest and ordered an interim statement on their app via the AI assistant. This took one day to appear
> proof of me as director on companies house. I did a long screenshot so it could show all the info.
A few days later it changed to pending approval so I just waited for further contact.
The visa starts immediately even though I stated June 20th as my arrival date.
They did not request passport pages, or any other proof of income, tax returns, bank statements, or proof of location in addition to the utility bill.
I was also looking at retirement visa as I'm old enough but this one seems the beat option for the price and no arduous process to apply.
A thai bank account would be nice so will look into that next time I am in the kingdom.

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 can assure you the process for Retirement Visa is easier than DTV if you apply in Thailand. You can always change if you wish though but if you want to do any work remotely in Thailand the DTV is the way to go.
