Anyone who have DTV visa get with Muay Thai . After 6 months out of Thailand and come back process is easy or not. Any documents need to show to thai border immigration again
Just wanted to share my experience applying for the Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Jakarta. I submitted my application on Monday morning, February 24th, and it first showed “pending checking documents.” By Wednesday morning, February 27th, the status changed to “pending approval,” and later that evening, it was approved.
I applied under the Soft Power (Muay Thai) category with Wildcat Muay Thai, and Meaw Boonpradub was super helpful in getting all the necessary documents together quickly (definitely recommend).
Documents I Submitted:
• Financial Proof – A 6-month bank statement from a foreign bank in USD. I had the required amount sitting in my account for the past six months, but I’ve heard that this isn’t always mandatory. Along with that, I also included:
• A screenshot of my account balance from my banking app.
• A screenshot of the exchange rate for that day.
• All three were combined into a single PDF file.
• Muay Thai Documents – Provided by Wildcat Muay Thai.
• Proof of Location – A picture of the Indonesian Visa Stamp in my passport.
• Scanned Passport
• Visa Photo
For accommodation in Thailand, I just listed where I was staying, but they didn’t ask for any proof.
Thanks everyone for all the information regarding the process!
P.S. If you’re planning to apply in Jakarta, you don’t actually have to be there—you just need to be somewhere in Indonesia. I didn’t realize this beforehand, and let’s just say Jakarta is not for beginners !
I just got approved in Cambodia - besides the wait time the whole process has been a total breeze.
I’m from the UK & applied for the workcation (I’ve been freelancing for 5 years).
I submitted my application on the 14th Feb. It changed from pending document check to pending approval on the 17th Feb (after the weekend). It then got approved today (27th Feb) so 9 working days later.
I wasn’t asked for any additional documents so here’s what I submitted in case it helps anyone.
Proof of location:
- Photo of entry stamp into Cambodia
- Hotel booking for 1 week
Proof of finance:
- Cover letter highlighting my closing balance and what that is approximately in Thai baht.
- 6 months of bank statement with a closing balance of over 500k. The previous months did not have that amount.
- 6 months of invoices from my main client + 3 from additional clients.
Proof of work:
- Cover letter explaining what I do for work as a freelancer and why I want to live in Thailand then I highlighted which documents I had included.
- Screenshot of my HMRC account with Unique Taxpayer Number as proof of me being a freelancer.
- Cover letter from my main client stating they have worked with me for 2 years and happy with the work I produce remotely.
- Full contract with my main client, signed 2 years ago.
- Screenshot of about 6 pages of my portfolio.
- Screenshot of 3 pages of my website.
Done & dusted. They asked for nothing else.
If you want a quick turnaround then avoid Cambodia! But if you’re happy to go somewhere new and chill, then Siem Reap really is a beautiful little place and I highly recommend to stay at Vihara City of Temples hotel, it’s $30 per night.
Looking to extend my dtv visa in Chiang Mai. Has anyone been approved? I went soft power route, what documents are needed and will dental work appointments be fine?
I would like to express my gratitude to this group for the valuable information provided, which has been extremely helpful. I submitted my application in Hanoi, arriving last Wednesday, and lodged it early Thursday morning at 2 AM. Later that day, I received an email from the embassy requesting additional documents, specifically the entry stamp from Vietnam in my passport, along with the school's registration and the director's ID, which I promptly sent. This morning, I received my e-visa and am now prepared to return to Bangkok tomorrow. I was initially concerned about the possibility of needing to rebook my flight and extending my stay, so I am relieved to have received it today. 🙏😊
The documents I submitted included my passport bio page, a photo, a six-month bank statement, an acceptance letter from the Thai Cooking Academy, and my boarding pass. Additionally, I noted on the application form that I previously held an ED visa from 2021 to 2022.
Update:
Arrived yesterday evening, presented my DTV e-visa, no question asked just stamped.
To give some context, I work remotely for a company and I've applied for the DTV visa online. I received an email for additional documents which just made things confusing for me. They are asking me for the following (this is a literal copy and paste):
* 1.Please provide your resume and how to work remotely (signature and seal of the person in charge)
* 2.Please upload the proof of salary paid to you by the company and transferred to the bank and bank statement (need have holder name)
I'm not sure what is "how to work remotely". I provided my contract, employee certificate which is signed and company registration certificate.
I also provided a bank statement and statements from the company I work for the transfer they did to my bank account.
This is getting kinda frustrating and it looks scammy because of their bad English. There is also no way for me to contact them and reach out for more info. Anyone had a similar experience?
