What is the process and requirements for obtaining a DTV visa for Thailand?
Me and my boyfriend got our DTV in Hanoi! ๐๐
Submitted on morning of 21 Oct 2024.
Got the email on 25 Oct 2024, around 3pm BKK time.
A fast process given that on Tuesday (22 Oct) it was a Thai public holiday.
I applied using my own business, and my partner with a remote employment contract from a company outside Thailand.
Already on our way to the airport to fly back to our new home, Thailand ๐ป๐ป๐ป
This FB group gave us confidence that we would be approved, through the experience of others! Feel free to ask questions, its great to have a community ๐๐ป

Congratulations!
Iโm going to be in a similar situation since Iโm owning my own business and will apply in Hanoi soon.
I would like to prepare with all the documents needed.
If itโs ok for you, can you please share what you needed to send as a business owner? Thank you

these were what I submitted:1. Business registration proof/license that has my name as owner of the business, and was issued by Singapore government officially. This pdf also showed what kind of industry I was in, which matched my portfolio
2. my portfolio. I am in the ecommerce industry so screenshots of my site was enough
That was all to prove my business. On top of that, my bank statements also showed money coming in and out that were labeled as business transactions/sales, reflecting my business name as well

Did u have to show proof of your monthly income?
Anonymous *************
OP@Nicole *****
They did not request for a monthly income amount. They only required my bank statements that had active transactions coming into my account that was proof of income!Danny ***********
Anonymous participant so just your statement then and active income stream with 500k+?
Anonymous *************
OP@Danny **********
yes, bank statements and 500k+ in an active account (have recent transactions being made in and out), and not sitting in a bank with no activity
Xav ****
Congrats to both of you! ^^

Did you apply via e- visa?
Anonymous *************
OP@James *******
Yes, e-visa. I am holding Singaporean passport
เนเธฎเนเธเธ *********
Is it a must to show bank statements with at least 500k THB? Or is the employer contract enough?
Wannikea *********
@เนเธฎเนเธเธ ********
the 500K is not negotiable, it's a must have requirement, some consulates only want to see the money in the bank, others want to see it in the bank up to 6 months prior.Anonymous *************
OP@เนเธฎเนเธเธ ********
for my partner, he submitted full 6 months bank statement with 500k baht on top of the employment contractAnonymous *************
OP@เนเธฎเนเธเธ ********
For me, I submitted past 2 months with amount 500k baht. They then requested for for another proof of bank statement with 500k baht in the bank up till my date of submission (21. Oct). I transferred a top up on the same day and submitted my transaction history ๐Anonymous *************
OPAnonymous participant As my bank only generates monthly statements at the end of each month, my latest statement submitted was only up to the month of Sept. I did not include Oct as my monthly statement was not generated yet

No problem and all the best! ๐๐ผ๐๐ผDanny ***********
Anonymous participant thank you, Iโll keep mine as up to date as possible then. Very good to know this
Danny ***********
Anonymous participant so what was it before they asked for the new bank statement, was it too old or something?

PRINT OUT the PDF files that are your DTV visas and hand it with your passport to the officer when you stamp in
and
then CHECK that they stamped you in for 180 days when you get the passport back..
There have been more than a few people "bad stamped" on DTV's recently (not for the 180 days) ๐
