What is the process and requirements for obtaining a DTV visa in Thailand?
I just got my DTV visa as remote worker from Thai Embassy Austria.
They asked for further documents three times that were not on the list when I applied, such as cover letter. So it took me 1 month in total to get it.
My friends who applied for Muay Thai softskill DTV got it earlier.
So if you also have both options like me, maybe choosing softskill is easier.

Answer summary
A user recently shared their experience applying for a DTV visa as a remote worker from the Thai Embassy in Austria. They faced additional document requests not listed initially, which prolonged their processing time to one month. In contrast, friends who applied for a Muay Thai softskill visa received theirs more quickly. Comments from the community indicated that the workation visa is easier to extend and doesn't incur extra costs, while one user noted receiving their visa within four days during Songkran. Tips on managing the DTV visa documentation, such as printing the visa confirmation email for travel, were also shared.

workation is "cheaper" cuz you don't need to feed a gym / cooking school which prices have gone insane after this sort of visa came out....

I know someone used invitation letter from a gym to get DTV, but never showed up in that gym. She didn't pay in advance. 🤣Kyle **********

People are now posting about immigration checks at some gyms... Probably not the wisest move, especially knowing that even the gym wouldn’t bother covering for her and may even consider reporting it 😉.Tofu *******

Workaytion is easier to extend in country as you do not have to pay for ongoing activities etc

would I have to keep providing new freelance contracts during the 5 years when the old ones expire?Greg ********
@Tofu ******
For the extension in country immigration are asking for an updated letter. It seems to be the letter staying you are an employee and allowed to work remotely in Thailand. This is NOT being asked for in re-entry from trips abroad. There have been a couple of people posted about this recently. One in Krabi and one in PhuketTofu *******

Thank you very much!!

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.

IMO good advise and if not required can be ignored. Being the OP had a stressful month I hope the advise is useful!
