Not sure how many people this would be relevant to here, but DTV for Singaporeans at the embassy in Singapore is still not happening yet.

From what I understand from the broken Thai English, Thailand and Singapore have a bilateral agreement to waive all visa fees, but they have not agreed on anything with DTV. So, ironically, Singapore passport holders can't apply for DTV in Singapore.

TLDR : Answer Summary

Currently, Singapore passport holders are unable to apply for the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) at the Thai embassy in Singapore, despite a bilateral agreement between Thailand and Singapore waiving visa fees. There seems to be a lack of agreement specifically regarding the DTV visa between the two countries, leading to confusion for applicants.

Strange indeed because those countries have had visa fees waived for years now

No matter what consulate they apply at they don't pay for visas to thailand

I would imagine the DTV is included in it too

there is an agreement for the 4 countries mentioned in the image grab I posted. They do NOT pay for visas to thailand at ANY thai consulate.

Singaporeans have gone to Vientiane/Savannakhet etc gotten year long multi-entry visas for free

(Filipinos can't get anything free other than a 30 day transit visa)

I see... Maybe other embassies would process, but I'll probably email them to confirm before heading out.

yes but that would require me to go out of Singapore to apply. In any case I'm not in a huge rush to get it at the moment
