What is the process and requirements for getting approved for the Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Thailand?

Question

Wooohoo! Its my turn. I have been following this group for some time, reading and learning from your posts. This has been a wealth of information and I just got approved for the DTV. So in case its helpful to anyone since my case is a little unique. My job doesn't issue personalized letters and I changed my name last year.

Type: Workcation
Applied on Monday 3/16
Location: Washington DC
Submitted
-cover letter with explanation for each section of docs
-court orders for name change
-old and new license confirming official name change
-6 mth savings
-PDF generated from HR site of Job Details ( job title, length of service, full time status and 100% virtual h8ghlighted)
-PDF generated from HR with compensation
-work samples
-about us page from company website
-3mths bank statements with pay deposits highlighted

Wednesday more documents requested (letter from my job for work verification, recent pay slip and taxes) 
We use The Work Number for verification so I printed a sheet from there and sent my last pay stub + 2024 taxes since I have not filed yet this year.

And approved this morning 3/20. Yall are the first to know. Thanks so much for all the information ❤️🇹🇭

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.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I think it is rediculous what you were asked for. Nowhere in the law pretaining to the DTV does it mention anything about proving payslips or any kind of monthly income - beyond showing your 500k THB plus savings (without requiring any specific seasoning). Anyhow, this is Thailand, bureaucracies tend to make up their own rules.
