ORIGINAL POSTER

Hey all, 

We plan to head over again this fall but would like to try and obtain a DTV visa.

We have a steady monthly income of around 150k Thai bhat but we don’t have “digital nomad employment” 

However, We would like to do a trial run before of a couple of months to make sure this is our right move. 

What’s the timeline on obtaining DTV. We are open to hanging out in a neighbouring country for a short time once our 60 days are complete, but I have read you have to apply for DTV from your home country. 

Any insights? 

Also. Anyone who’s moved their Dog with them, what was the appropriate channels? What documents will be required?

Every embassy has different processing times. I believe right now Hanoi is around a week and is where many people are going.

If you are both going to qualify on your own, then you would only have to wait once. But if you plan on having one person qualify and then the other get a dependent visa based on the first one, you will have to wait twice. That's because a requirement for the dependent visa is uploading the already issued visa of the primary person.
