# Experience with DTV application @ Royal Thai Consulate-General, Frankfurt

Hey guys,

I also wanted to share my DTV application experience through the official Thai e-Visa website, submitted to the Royal Thai Consulate-General in Frankfurt to help people that may be in the same situation. 

There are also some horror stories circulating here about Frankfurt that I can't confirm as true in my case.

About me: I started a business as a sole proprietor not even a year ago to earn money independently from my current job and the ultimate goal to move to Asia. I reduced hours at my employment in February to focus on increasing revenue for DTV. 

I'm going to Korea in about a month and will arrive in Thailand about 2 months later after visiting Korea, Japan and China. I applied for DTV the earliest possible date.

Category: DTV – Workcation / Freelancer

Nationality: German

Application location: Germany / Frankfurt

Timeline:

* Application submitted and paid: 24 June 2026, about 4pm

* Request for additional document: 30 June 2026 about 4pm (CV, most recent tax assessment notice)

* documents uploaded: 30 June 2026 about 6pm

* Visa approved: 1 July 2026 about 6:30pm

--> whole timeline about a week

--> Visa approval within a day after submission of additional documents

Documents I submitted initially:

* Passport biodata page

* Passport photo

* German ID card as proof of current location

* Flight ticket Chengdu to Bangkok

* Booking confirmation from my Bangkok hotel (8 nights)

* Financial evidence for the last 6 months (official bank statements)

* CV (yep, they already had it and still asked for it)

* Explanation of my freelancer business 

* Revenue overview & screenshots of dashboards as proof

* Revenue forecast

* Business Registration (in German)

* Bank statements from my business account

Good luck everybody with their application! See you guys in Thailand!

And be sure that I'll be asking questions in this group!

Cheers, 

Marco

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 will also apply in Frankfurt in a month but I am employed at a German company. Do you think it still makes sense to include a CV in that case? I thought about only including my employment contract, pay slips and a letter from the CEO as documents from work. Also what did your financial statements look like? Is it a savings account or your actual bank account that you use daily? I am not sure if my savings account that has the 500k baht is enough or if they also want to see my bank account that my salary is paid to.

Good to see a positive story from Frankfurt embassy, thank you for posting.

I was also asked about CV after submission, as an employee with Frankfurt embassy.

For bank statements they also requested the salary account statements in addition to savings account (separate for me)

But also, don’t worry, looks like they will request more if they need it.

Oh forgot about the financial evidence. It were only monthly overviews from my savings account.

Maybe you can add your salary to the CEO letter, so they see what to expect.

I signed CV, freelance description, passport and ID copy

Thanks for all the info. I will add payslips and savings account then. I will also add my CV for the initial application already, it probably won't hurt

there is more positive feedback from Frankfurt with some fast approvals. You can use the search function and will find a similar post from may or June from someone who was in the same situation atls you. He also was asked for a CV. So adding it in advance won't be a bad thing.

I already uploaded it with my freelance descriptions and they still asked for it 😅

Good luck with your application! See you in Thailand ✌️

make sure the letter from the ceo gives you explicit permission to work remotely from Thailand and states that you won't work with any Thai entities or clients inside Thailand

I have that. I will write the letter myself and my CEO will just check it and sign it. I will put my role in the company, salary and some text that I have always worked remote in the letter too. Then I will add that remote work from Thailand is possible and allowed and that I will not work with or for any Thai entities. I also have the remote work in Thailand permission in my actual contract.

Maybe I am stressing too much about it, I just don't want to have to apply from some SEA country again if Frankfurt rejects it.
