What is the process for obtaining a DTV visa for a workcation in Thailand?

I just received my DTV visa for workcation πŸŽ‰

I applied at the Thai Embassy in Berlin and got it approved one week later.

The process was quite straightforward:

-I submitted my full employment contract along with a note from my employer (a remote-first company) confirming my role, salary, and that I can work remotely (no country specifics mentioned).

- I met the 500,000 THB financial requirement by showing funds in my account on the day of submission (the balance was below that beforehand, but it was accepted without issue).

- I selected the flights/hotels I intend to take but they never asked for proof.

- I got one request to prove my residency in Germany, which I did by showing my ID card

I hope this is helpful to some, if you have any questions let me know.

Congrats!

I would recommend to download "MyDTV" if you are a iPhone user to keep track of the 90 days and 180 days countdowns.

Thank You for your helpful report πŸ‘

Congratulations πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

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.
