What was the process for obtaining a DTV visa online in Thailand, and what important tips should be noted?

Alvin Peh yes I was in hk when I submitted. According to a visa agent, you can also submit it outside of hk. But when the visa approved, u will have to go to hk first, then enter Thailand to activate the visa.

if you are earning Thai people money, DTV is not suitable for you. Instead, u need to get a working permit I think

I shared the full details at above. Hope it helps

steps:

1️⃣. submitted the application as a digital nomad/freelancer in Hong Kong.

With the following documents:

- Reference letter written by the company, including company basic info, my position, job description, past and current projects, working location, period, and the company director's signature. (Note: I actually prepared the reference letter myself and then had the boss sign it.)

- Business registration certificate

- Updated portfolio of my freelance projects

- 4 months of bank statements showing I have THB500,000 in savings. (The website only required 3 months, but I provided 4 just to be safe. All 4 months showed I had more than the required amount.)

- Photo, identity card, and passport

Note: I didn’t buy the flight ticket, just put on the flight number. Thailand address I put condo name.

Status: Pending document check (1)

2️⃣. After 2 working days, I received an email asking me to upload further documents:

- 6 months of bank statements (All 6 months showed I had more than the required amount.)

Note: Fixed deposits count as liquid assets (in my case).

Status: Request for further documents

3️⃣. I uploaded the documents immediately.

Status: Pending document check (1)

4️⃣. 3 working days later, my application was approved.

I was notified by email, with the e-visa attached as a PDF file. The email said I should show the e-visa to the airline/immigration officer when I go to Thailand.

Further info: consulate receptionist said minimum 2-3 working days to check documents. And you should know the update status by the 7th working days.

That’s all. Hope it helps. Good luck!
