TLDR : Answer Summary
A native Indonesian citizen living in Bali shares their experience applying for a DTV Remote Worker visa at the Royal Thai Embassy in Jakarta. After submitting various documents including financial evidence, CV, cover letter, and proof of residence, they received visa approval following an interview. The post highlights the importance of thorough documentation and provides insights for others considering this visa option.
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.
