I got a quote from an agent of 70,000 Baht to help me with the retirement visa process. Is this a fair price? Could anybody recommend a trusted agent if this quote is too high? Seems a bit high but I have no idea if I’m right. Thanking you in advance!

Washington DC Embassy Applied February 14th

Request for additional documentation February 26th

(I initially submitted 3 statements from cash app and they wanted to see it in a real bank account so I transferred $15,000 USD to my chase bank and only submitted the statement for February)

Status Changed to Pending Approval February 28th

Approved March 3rd

I applied at night on Friday and that Monday was presidents day so technically it took about 10 business days.

This was the workcation option so I submitted:

Screenshot from my state website of my business being registered and in good standing

Cover letter explaining the nature of my business and that my clients are not thai

My website

A selfie I took of my myself against a wall and I used canva to make the background white

My ID as proof of location

My passport

Flight number for flight I havent purchased yet and address of hotel that I booked just in case but they didnt ask for proof of that

## Hope this helps someone [😊]([members only])

Hi there! I am currently in my DTV application process and might have some questions over the next few days ☺️ I am currently in Vietnam, applying from here.

Here are the first questions:

1. What Adress Information should I put in? I haven’t lived in my home country in a while so I don’t have an Adress there. There is a possibility to enter a „permanent“ Adress and a „current“ Adress. But I don’t have a permanent Adress… so do I just put the apartment that I am staying in here in Vietnam or a postal Adress back in my home country? 😳

2. travel information: I don’t have a flight booked yet as I don’t know when the visa will be ready, so should I look up a flight that I think I might be able to take?

3. accommodation info: I’m staying with my friend in his condo - would I put the condo Adress and his contact number?

Thanks for your help 🙏🏼

Just approved in Hanoi!

Worcation (have my own LLC, I’m stylist, have my own online-course), Russian, applied 24th Feb at 5pm.

25th morning — pending approval

2 March at 7pm — approved

No additional docs.

So basically 4 working days + weekends

I prepared:

- 6 months with 500k and more for ending balance every month

- registration docs of my LLC

- cover letter with explanation what is my work about, my mission, where i get my clients from

- screenshot from my website, from my educational platform, screenshots of homework of my students

- page in my passport with Vietnam stamp

All in 1 pdf (about 20+ pages)

What I did also:

- table with summary of ending balances with currency rates in my homeland currency and THB

- highlighted ending balances in bank statements

- several times mentioned that I’m working only online and only with Russians (so i’m not interested to work in Thai in person)

Thank you all for useful information!

I may try to extend in Jomtien. Has anyone extended yet? What is needed for documents and what is the process?

Hello, what is your experience with soft power medical DTV? Every two months I undergo treatment with biologic medication in the university hospital in Thailand.

APPROVAL UK LONDON EBASSY

Hi All,

I have just received my DTV for remote working approval. This group has provided some amazing reassurance and information for my application. So please any questions pop them in.

19.02 (Wednesday) I applied to the London Embassy online.

I submitted:

* Motivation letter, saying I have visited many times and love the culture/country. I wish to visit more Thai islands.

* Fairly detailed portfolio, with evidence of work documents.

* invoices

* Driving license

* A statement of 500,000 baht, the money had only been in the account 10 days with little transactions on the account. The bank statement was also one from the bank branch with a bank manager stamp as I couldn't wait for an updated one by mail.

* Additionally a separate ISA account balance

* Proof of accommodation, and rental contract

* Linkedin profile, UpWork profile

Afternoon of the 19th request for documents:

* A letter explaining my job role and confirming that I will abide by Thai law and not work in Thailand. (My original motivation letter did include this, but I submitted another very clearly stating that I understand Thai law and the DTV working conditions)

* My recent Tax return

20th (Thursday) request for documents:

* A plane ticket to Thailand from London, United Kingdom

24th (Monday) Approved and Visa Sent by Email.

Very easy process all in all!

Has anyone applied WITH children??? If so, what was that experience like? Seems like info overload.
