Congrats! Did you apply under the workcation or soft power sheme? If workcation, what documents did you provide and did they ask for any ammendments? I know the requirements are listed on the website, but they are not very specific.

And for the financial part, was it enough to show a bank statement with the required 500kTHB, or did they also want proof of regular income?

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.
