Trying to learn about the 'Cat O Non-Immigrant' visa, but on the uk EVisa site i'm seeing only 'Living With Thai Family in Thailand' under long-term stay. I'm probably to blame, but is the Cat O difficult to land on in the EVisa site ? Thanks.

Hi DTV community! I'll be in Phnom Penh next month. I will make my application for DTV under workation category.

I am a freelance online ESL teacher with clients from China. I was in Th for two years (on and off) and learned Thai for a year. I was doing my online job while schooling and receiving my payments using my Bangkok bank.

Has anyone tried showing their proof of income using Thai banks? My clients are from China, but I decided to receive payments using my Thai bank for convenience and better exchange rates. Will it be a problem?

I don't have a contract/company. Can screenshots of my work be enough proof?

Will appreciate your feedback.

DTV APPROVED @ Jakarta, Indonesia

Applied on January 14th at 5am

Approved on January 20th in the afternoon.

I was not requested for any additional documentation as I had all my Muay Thai documents in order. I showed 6 months of bank statements. I did not have over 500k until I topped it up a few days before applying.

I highly recommend doing ur DTV visa here.

Now I guess the next step is to wait till 90 days gets closer and do my 90 day online or possibly in person. I have been here in Thailand already on a ED visa but canceled it when I departured the airport.

Any questions please comment and I will try to answer them all. Thanks to everyone in the group.

Hi everyone just wondering when applying for the DTV visa how much do you need remaining on your passport. Cheers.

Hello! I’ve successfully obtained my DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) in Penang 🥳

* Date of application submission: January 10

* Date of visa approval: January 22

In the meantime, they asked me several follow-up questions, including:

1. Why do you want to work remotely in Thailand? (like it, convenient regarding timezone...)

2. Do you need to contact any Thai partners? (no)

3. Please provide samples of your work (blablabla)

4. What's the details of your work in Thailand (blablabla)

5. Do you have an office in Thailand? (no)

6. How often do you travel to Thailand for working? (few months each year)

If you’re going through the process, feel free to ask me for advice—I’d be happy to help!

I work as an online recruiter and headhunter, helping companies worldwide find the perfect candidates for their teams.

Will my bank of America account be accepted or do I need another bank to get my retirement visa

FYI for anyone applying in Vietnam this week. I submitted my application to the Hanoi embassy just before 5pm on Monday and have been sitting at Pending document check ever since - 48 hours later. Previous reports suggest that usually people have moved to pending approval status by now. So delays for the holidays seem inevitable.

I am looking for an updated post on the DTV experience in KL. I couldn't find one. So, decided to pose a question here.

American passport holder.

Been in Thailand for a few years on an ED visa.

Now I am planning to get DTV via Muay Thai.

I have had that 500,000 THB in my Thai account for more than 3 months.

Which embassy/consulate will be better? Vientiane, Laos, or KL, Malaysia?

Thank you for all your advice in advance.

I have a few DTV questions - I appreciate everyone's help in advance:

1. If I apply for DTV under workcation and get approval and then apply for my husband and kid's for their DTV - can my husband work remote as well under this "dependent" DTV?

2. I don't want to book any flights to Thailand until we all have approval - has anyone had their DTV application recently approved without providing an already booked flight confirmation and accommodation booking?

2 a) In case they end up requiring a flight booking - does anyone have a reliable website for a temp booking confirmation that would be sufficient?

3. If I don't have a flight until 2 months out - do you think they would take longer to process my application?

Thanks everyone

The Cambodia Approvals Thread

I see a lot of this scattered across various posts. Simply reply here with your date of application, and application details (soft power vs work action).

Once approved, reply to your initial comment with details.

Looks like the consistent processing time is 11 business days (counting the date of application).

Cheers
