What is the experience of applying for a Partner's DTV visa as a digital nomad in Thailand?

Question

Hi guys,

sharing my experience of applying for my Partner's DTV visa as a digital nomad/business owner.

Applied on a saturday through Thai Embassy in Manila, early monday morning got a message from them asking for additional documents and we submitted them immediately, on the same day the status changed to pending approval and we got the DTV visa the next day (Tuesday).

Documents we submitted:

1. Passport Copy (US passport)
2. Photo
3. 6 months bank statement
4. Proof of residence in PH 
     > Visa Extension Slip
     > Electricity & Rent Bill
5. Photo of latest arrival in PH stamp
6. Cover letter mentioning the documents we submitted and explaining her current residency in PH and her interest for applying for the DTV visa
7. A letter explaining how her business would run while she is in thailand (detailed business description
8. Business license/permit from the State of Nevada

Additional docs. They requested
1. CV/Resume
2. Screenshot of her company website as proof the business is active.

The letters we submitted were in her company's letter head which she signed as the owner.

Overall, the process of applying for the DTV visa was super quick and easy in comparison to other visa applications I had to apply for back when I was working for my old boss as a PA and handling their visa applications.

If you have any questions, I suggest reaching out to the Thai embassy in Manila. They were really friendly, helpful and helped clarified my confusion about what type of documents I should submit to satisfy the additional requirement docs. they asked for.

P.S: added the screenshot of the official list of documents that the Thai Embassy in Manila listed on their website.

Hi,  thanks for sharing your experience. Did you guys go physically to the embassy to register or did you do it on the internet?

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.
