My DTV Visa Experience — From the Thai Embassy in Paris for a family of 3. Approved for all of us.
I thought I’d share my full timeline and experience applying for the Digital Nomad (DTV) visa via the Workcation category, in case it helps anyone here 👇
My Application (Main Applicant)
* Applied: August 23
* Category: Workcation
* Documents submitted:
* 3 invoices from my company
* My French business registration (Kbis)
* My company website
* My personal Revolut bank statement showing over 15,000 EUR for the last 3 months
* All the other standard documents listed on the embassy website
On September 9, they asked for an additional ID photo.
Visa approved on October 4.
So overall, it took around 6 weeks.
My Daughter’s Application
* Applied: October 5
* I submitted:
* All required documents
* A sponsor letter + my bank statement (as the main applicant)
* For “proof of presence in France,” I used her savings account statement showing her postal address
On October 15, they requested:
* A proof of accommodation (attestation d’hébergement)
* a phone bill under my name (the mother)
Visa approved on October 17
My Husband’s Application
* Applied: October 7
* He didn’t have the 15,000 EUR for 3 full months, only for 1 month,
but we decided to try with his own personal statement anyway.
On October 16, they asked for the main applicant’s bank statement (mine) showing 15,000 EUR for 3 months.
Visa approved on October 17
Conclusion
In the end, one single account with 15,000 EUR maintained over 3 months was enough for the three of us (main applicant + spouse + child).
⏳ Processing time:
* Mine: ~6 weeks
* Family: ~10–12 days
Hope this helps anyone preparing their own DTV application from France 🇫🇷✨

ce n’est pas clairement indiqué mais suite aux conseils du groupe j’en ai fournis 3, avec le relevé bancaire de mon entreprise surlignant la réception des paiements de ces factures, ainsi qu’une lettre disant que je ne ferais pas de business en Thaïlande
as long as you can prove that you won’t do any business in Thaïlande I think it’s ok. I wrote a letter saying that all my clients are not in thailand and agree that I will never do business here
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.
