Got the VISA from Bangladesh as a Freelancer

* Application Date: 11th February

* Visa Received on: 7th April

Documents Submitted:

* Freelancer.com Profile Screenshot

* Transaction History from Freelancer.com

* Proof of Income and Agreement with my full-time client from Canada

* Proof of Income from my client in Australia

* Payoneer Statement (Payment gateway)

* Remittance Certificate from my bank (showing remittance received over the last year)

During the interview, they asked a lot of questions about my clients, but they were very helpful.

Mistakes Made:

* I mistakenly used a ChatGPT-generated template for my agreement with my Australian client, leaving a placeholder [Enter your client's company address here:] which I forgot to change. They pointed it out during the interview and allowed me to correct it with a laugh.

* I mistakenly submitted 5 months and 27 days of statements instead of the required 6 months. They mentioned they would reopen the statement field for me to re-upload the correct document.

I am a 58 year old Canadian citizen looking to spend 7 months in Thailand and am looking evaluating the O-A Visa for 1 year. I am 58 and have the financial requirements but am at the start of the process to fill out the forms which seem to have to be notarized and signed by the Consulate General. I have 5 months to obtains this O-A Visa as I want to stay for 7 months this year (end of Oct 2025-April 2026). Any advice regarding the scheduling of duties? police report, proof of funds, proof of Health, Insurance. It seems the only alternative is Multiple- Entry-Visa (which 1. Includes the cost and disruption of Visa runs and 2. Officially states the ‘up to 6 months and I need almost 7 months) I know Thailand fairly well and have a good contact there who lives in a retirement visa from Europe but on prior trips have spent just 4 months at a time. Ultimately the O-A retirement visa is what I think is my only choice as I negotiate a longer term visa commitment. Also I have noted that some people are having difficulties with the Multiple Entry route in terms of re-entering Thailand and encountering different requirements from different immigration officers. I’m curious if anyone else has successfully obtained this visa recently and if so, how long it might have taken as well as details or advice on issues encountered during the application process. Any and all advice would be much appreciated.

Hello, we are a family of 4 thinking of doing a DTV. We are hesitating between Jakarta and Cambodia. We'll only have 500,000 baht for a few weeks for the whole family, which seems to be ok for Jakarta but not sure about Cambodia. Has anyone applied with the same type of situation or anyone knows if Cambodia would be ok with us having 500.000 baht for a few weeks for my husband, our 2 kids and me?

On the 29th of April I will with my family fly from

Phuket to Bali and apply for the DTV under the soft power Muay Thai.

I found a Muay Thai gym here after a recommendation from someone in this group 🙏🏽

They will provide me the correct paperwork for a 6 month course (1x a week, so enough time to keep training at our regularly gym).

I do have a few questions, that I not seem to find the answer to when I use the search feature. So hopefully someone will be kind enough to help answer them 🙏🏽:

1. What date should be put in the invitation letter, would this be the date that I want to start the course?

The gym asked me to give them the correct date for the letter.

2. I will apply online to the Jakarta embassy, would I say this to the gym for the letter as well or does the embassy in Jakarta have a specific name?

3. How do I get the passport stamp in Bali when entering?

I was there a few weeks ago, but we went through the electronic checkpoint, so no stamp was issued.

4. I don’t work at the moment, but I get enough benefits per month from my home country and extra every 3 months, would that be an issue (not working)?

I plan on getting back to work online once we get settled, I do have over 500.000 thb in funds, so that won’t be an issue.

5. When I get the DTV approved and apply for my kids as dependents, would the costs also be 10.000 thb each for them?

Can’t seem to find anything about that.

It’s an overwhelming amount of information in here so I apologize because I know this may have been asked but I am planning to possibly relocate to Thailand but as for now I would like to go ahead and apply for my visa due to me wanting to stay 2-3 months this time prior to officially relocating

Hi does anyone know about the visa exemption after May 1 2025, I booked and paid for my trip from Australia before this was announced I’m going for 37 days, can I get a 60 exemption visa on arrival or will I be able to apply online when doing the arrival card

I appreciate any knowledge you might have thanks:)

Hi there! Quick questions for anyone familiar with the DTV visa process for Thailand:

1️⃣ Do you need to stay outside Thailand for 3 months before applying for the DTV visa at a Thai embassy (e.g., in Hanoi)?

2️⃣ For the 500,000 baht bank statement, does the bank need to be the same one where salary slips are issued, or can it be from a different bank?

Appreciate any insights! Thanks!

Hi Everyone,

I'm seeking some guidance regarding the DTV. I'm a New Zealand citizen currently residing in Dubai, where I work for my family’s company as Head of Sales. Most of my work is done remotely.

In terms of documentation, I can provide a signed letter from one of the business partners confirming that my role is remote. Would I also need to submit an employment contract? Is there a minimum salary threshold I should be aware of?

Additionally, the majority of my funds are held in an Australian bank account. Will this be an issue given that my residential address is in Dubai, my passport is from New Zealand, and my funds are in Australia?
