What is the process and requirements for obtaining a DTV Work-cation visa in Thailand?

Question

Update – LONDON Work-cation DTV Approved 🎉
Just wanted to thank everyone who gave advice – my situation was stressful, but my visa has been approved a day before my flight which feels amazing!

Timeline

• Applied: Fri 5 Sept

• Request for extra docs: Mon 8 Sept

• Interview request email: 15 Sept (11pm)

• Interview attended: 16 Sept

• Told to expect 10-day wait: 18 Sept

• Visa approved: 22 Sept (11pm)

Documents requested:

• A letter confirming I can work online, but not for clients or employers in Thailand- I had already done this but for some reason they asked again

• A clearer photo

Interview experience:

Because I don’t live directly in London, I had to book a last minute flight the night before – stressful but worth it. The interview itself was very straightforward. I arrived 30 mins early, got a ticket for the queue, and was seen before my time at one of the regular booths in the waiting area. They asked me the same questions I’d already covered in my letter, plus why I changed my application from Soft Power to Work-cation.

The staff were kind and professional and the atmosphere felt very relaxed.

Context:

I work for myself online.

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.
