What is the process and experience for applying for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) as an EU citizen from Malta?

Question

**My DTV Visa Experience - EU Citizen applied from Malta via Athens, Greece**

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share my journey of applying for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) as an EU citizen residing in Malta. I applied for the e-Visa through the Royal Thai Embassy in Athens, Greece, and here’s how it went:

**Application Date**: December 12, 2024

**Documents Submitted:**
* **Biodata page of my Passport** in PDF format.
* **Passport Size Photo** (taken within the last 6 months as required).
* **Document indicating current location **- I attached my Maltese residence permit, both front and back on one page.
* **Financial evidence**: A minimum of 500,000 THB. I transferred the necessary amount last month via Revolut, combining USD and EU accounts. My bank statement from December 1 to December 12 was submitted, no expenses were shown for those dates.
* **Employment contract:** My new contract from October was signed electronically and clearly states I can work "remotely from any location of their choice".

**Process:**
After submitting all documents on December 12, I kept checking the status which stayed at "processing document check" until today, December 20, 2024. Finally, I received an email stating my visa has been **APPROVED! **The best part? **No follow-up documents were needed or requested by the embassy.**

Tips:
* Make sure your financial documents clearly show that you have the required amount without any discrepancies.
* If you're using an electronic contract, ensure it’s clear and legible, and reflects remote work flexibility.

Good luck to everyone applying! Here's to new adventures in Thailand. Merry Christmas to all! 🎄

Thank You for your helpful report 👍

Congratulations 👏👏👏

Be sure to PRINT OUT THE EMAIL...several copies....you received with the DTV Visa in it.

Show it to airline at check-in fot your flight ✈️ to Thailand, and to Thai Immigration Officers upon arrival into Thailand.

When you clear Thai Immigration, look at your passport to be sure you have been stamped in for 180 days.

Safe travels 🧳
