What should I know about applying for a DTV visa in Thailand and the required documentation?
I just received my DTV yesterday at like 5:45pm from HCM . I applied Nov 27 , received Dec 12.
Was requested more docs day 1.5.
The whole thing gave me anxiety toward the end. I waited in HCM first 12 days and was going crazy . Flew to Dalat and wish I had gone sooner. I would reccomend to go travel and be patient. Dalat is incredibly beautiful place . I was well qualified for the DTV and had what I needed. I’ve never over stayed never even once in over 20 years visiting my favorite country of Thailand.
This was muey thai DTV.
Provided Savings account ( 6 months of statements) 3 times more than min.
They still asked for proof of income or am I unemployed .
They wanted a Letter explaining how I will support myself and what I will do beyond 6 months coarse .
And yes every passport page with time date stamps and all pages even blanks , as others have mentioned.
I have rental income from
My home Country enough to support myself and I showed 6 months of checking account deposits in addition to the 6 months statements of savings account .
I explained all that they asked in a nice professional letter.
Good luck people

My plan too. Well applied at 53, but will see how a few years pan out, then if it does work out, give up working remote and get the retirement visa. After being on my DTV four months, heading home for Xmas and do not want to go lol.
Ps be careful on DTV as you come in, make sure they stamp DTV on the visa and not the 60 day tourists one which they did on my visa twice. I never thought to check. Handed the guy the DTAC and my DTV paperwork, but still only stamped 60 holiday visa
5 days before it ran out I spotted it and had to pay a visa office to sort it all out at a cost of £100.
Not my error, except just not double checking. Make sure before you walk away, it's has DTV written on your passport stamp and 6 months of date range.

Did the same got remote worker status with rental income and online work. No income from online work but I have a professional website, strong monthly pension income, rental income and I way exceeded the savings requirements. I’ll be 51 when this DTV expires so I’ll switch to a retirement visa then
