I see a lot of disinformation spread by anonymous accounts. I don’t think there’s any reason to be anonymous who agrees?

I'm applying for the DTV under the Workcation category in HMC.

I've been asked: "Please provide details about your current work, including the examples of your work, along with any supporting materials that demonstrate your experience and qualifications."

I've already submitted:

* LinkedIn Profile PDF

* Employer Company Commercial License

* Employment Confirmation Letter

* Employment Contract

I don't know what else they want. I'm a VP of Engineering working full-time remotely (not a freelancer), so I don't have a traditional portfolio. I'm planning to submit a concise work summary outlining my role and responsibilities, along with a notarised copy of my university degree. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there anything else you think I should add? Thanks!!

Quick question about speeding up the DTV application:

I’ve heard that some applications have been stuck in review for over 2 weeks.

I also heard that a few people reached out via Line to check on the status.

Would it be wise to do the same if my application has been pending for about 4–5 days? Also… has anyone ever tried asking if there’s a way to *pay* for an express review? 😅

Curious to hear if anyone has experience with this or any tips to share!

Thankss

I am on DTV. On first entry I stayed in a hotel then got a condo.

I am currently out of Thailand and will be back in a few weeks.

If the IO asks about my accommodation, Can I mention that I have got a condo on an annual lease? And show if the lease document if asked.

Or rather, I should do a hotel booking and cancel it later.

What people are doing usually?

I am sure they hardly ever ask for accommodation, but just in case.

Hey all! Thanks for sharing all your info. I got approved for my DTV workcation from US. I went the DTV route as I was denied access to BKK about a month ago.

Now that I have the proper documentation I am planning to re-enter BKK tomorrow. Of course I am nervous now 😅even though I did everything correctly. When I arrive and they ask me how long I would I like to stay and what will I be doing. Shouldn’t I be able to say 180 days and that I will be enjoying the country and working as a digital nomad on my computer?

Any recommendations on how to best answer these questions?

Just wanted voice my appreciation for this group and how helpful it is. Managed to open a bank account with my Non-O Visa. All the info on here has been invaluable, only got one knock back for a ridiculous reason, ie middle initial on my driver license wasn’t acceptable. Next bank, no problem. Shout out to Brandon Thurkettle for answering mine and a lot of newbie questions. For anyone in BKK in the same situation. Go to main Bangkok Bank at Emporium on Sukhumvit. Not sure if it will help, but I went on Sunday at 1pm, and I was the only customer. Best of luck to y’all
