Approved DTV in 3 days - workcation from Canada

No additional questions. Let me share some tips:

I did put things to gather in a very organized used way and met each of their requirements. With a nice cover letter explaining my situation and my purpose for coming to Thailand (workcation - no additional business ties and not working in Thailand for a Thai company etc)

I was a bit confused about whether to apply as business owner or employee since I am employee of a corporation that I own.

The employee route is the way to go in this case.

I just signed my own letter saying I am permitted to work overseas. Beyond this they also want articles of incorporation and an explanation of the business (I went a bit overboard here and gave them some screenshots of my e-commerce store front and business bank statement showing money coming in)

For personal financial proof I provided my bank account and it showed my salary being deposited each month from my business.

Drivers license worked as proof of address.

Just communicate with them before you apply about questions and they will clarify them for you. (Canadian embassy people seem pretty nice)

I got my DTV Visa! Thanks, everyone, for all the help. Now... I need to get my wife and kids. Question, on the visa they ask for "document indicating current location" for my wife, she has a driver's license from our address from 15 years ago, not our current address (AZ drivers' licenses last until you are 65 so having the same ID even when you move is very common) We do have a water bill in her name. Do you think this will work? Second question, how do I prove this for my kids when they have no ID or bills in their name at our address?

I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Hello to those who applied in the UK, any red flags in my application? I am unsure whether I need to prove my relationship to the address stated on my documents (utility), as I don't currently live at that address

Role: works freelance for a single client. Client is in Germany.

Situation: UK native, hasn't lived in the UK for 1+ year. No clear residency for that period of time (mainly travelling on tourist visas) Currently renting short-term in the UK. No rental contract but can have it made up.

Enclosed items

* Passport

* Passport style photos

Supporting documents

* Financial evidence of ฿500,000

* Proof of income since January 1 2025 (Wise bank statement)

* Contract of freelance work (supplied by client, digital signature)

* Letter from client confirming remote status (supplied by client, digital signature)

* 6 months client invoices

* Shareholder certificate

* LinkedIn profile

Needed?

* Proof of current location: Immigration stamp in?

* Proof of address (rental agreement)?

Bonus question: can anyone say for sure that I can enter Thailand on a DTV approved more than 90 days prior to entry? Is there a time limit to entering?

TIA!

I hold a UK passport and currently staying with malaysian friends in Penang as a 90 days tourist.

I have deposit funds and landlord ready for a one year contract ready. I'm +60yo.

Im intending to apply online for the Non O visa before I travel to Thailand in mid July.

My questions are:

How do I provide proof of current address when I apply for the Non O.

Can I use my MDAC? Should the family im living with write something?

How soon before I travel should I fill in the application for the Non O?

Thank You for any help you're able to suggest.

Hi all, regarding "document indicating current location", I assume that means a utility bill/bank statement or something similar? I don't have anything with a proof of address as I dont have a permanent address. Does that immediately disquailfy me from applying?

I’m debating whether to do soft power for cooking for my dtv or workcation since I work remotely but I’m not sure if my offer letter or employment contract specifically states that they don’t mind where I work but it does state that it’s a remote position. I could ask them for one but asking them to do anything in a timely manner is a joke. The offer letter/contract does specifically state I only have to be local for equipment pickup not sure if that matters. Any insight or advice would be appreciated. I also plan to get my 15 year old daughter a dependent dtv visa and I’m assuming I’ll wait until I’m approved then submit my approval with the same bank statements i am using along with her passport and passport photos. Will my drivers license, her learners permit, and a utility bill be enough for proof of address? I’m not sure if I’ll apply here in the US or wait until I go to Hanoi.

Could some fellow Aussies help me out. this may have been posted before but I just need your guidance if someone can help.

So I’ve been on ed visa for a year and living in Thailand.

Heading back to Australia on the weekend to apply for the DTV soft power.

Could you tell me what proof I need to show the embassy as I, don’t have a car licence, the only bill in my name is a phone bill. I’m just staying with a friend while I apply. Could I provide a statutory declaration of where I am ??

Thanks everyone

About to renew my non o retirement extension and hearing that TM 30 receipt is needed this year. Is this just the white slip of paper clipped into passport confirming my address that I always give them a copy of each year? Or do I have to get some new piece of paper this year?

Basically has anything new been added to the requirements since 1 year ago?

For people that have put their children under their DTV visa. What document did you use for proof of current location?? I’ve got a 2 year old that doesn’t exactly have any mail or proof of address…

Preparing to apply for followers on my DTV (hopefully) in Ottawa. Any experience about what document to use for proof of children’s location? Since they don’t have drivers location, etc
