If I apply for the workation category DTV in one consulate and get rejected, can I apply for a soft power DTV in another consulate? Any potential issues with that? Is there a minimum time I need to wait between applications?

Hey y’all. I want to get a DTV Visa (remote worker route?) and just started building websites on the side recently in the past few months, the websites are live but not earning any money yet. Is that considered a portfolio and sufficient proof?

I have more than 500k baht in savings and my current day job is a web dev, but planning to leave it because they don’t allow remote work.

Also planning to open a company next month and transfer ownership of my websites to that company. And planned travel date to Thailand is first week of May.

Do you think it’s possible to get remote worker route? Or should I go for soft power?

Any advice is greatly appreciated 🙏🏼

Hi all! Got a question for the duration of validity for the visa.

When you get a DTV through soft power and let’s say, the package you purchased is for only 6 months, after it has been approved, The DTV itself will remain active for all 5 years (just with a required extension of every 6 months) even if the course itself has concluded (I.e after 6 months) correct?

Hello everyone,

I am a bit stuck on a technical beaurocracy and would appreciate your help.

I would like to apply for a soft power DTV, but regarding the financial requirements, the 500k is currently in an investment account and not a bank savings account.

I contacted the embassy in Taipei asking if it will suffice, and while they did not give me a clear "no", they said a savings account is preferable.

Now I'm debating whether to go ahead with it, or transfer the cash to a savings account and delay application by 3 months.

I would love to hear your opinions. Thanks in advance everyone

When providing bank statement for soft power visa can I cross out account # so as to minimize opportunity for that information to get into the wrong hands?

Hello everyone! If I have an annual membership with Virgin Active gym, can I apply under Soft power category (sports training) or does it have to be Muay Thai only? I have sent a letter to a gym but no reply yet. Thanks

When applying for a soft power DTV would a statement from a brokerage account (JP Morgan) work or does it need to be a savings account or checking account?

Hello. Has anyone applied from Rome, Italy? I will apply via e-visa on Friday, but I still have questions. In the DTV documents section of the site, they ask for proof of entry-exit flight reservation and proof of accommodation. When I arrive in Thailand for accommodation, I want to rent a house and I only booked a hotel for 2 days. Should I make a reservation for the number of days I will stay and show the exit flight ticket?

Required Documents

1. Flight Itinerary showing flights into and out of Thailand

2. Proof of accommodation: Copy of hotel reservation / rental contract/deed. In case of residing with a family, an invitation letter from the host family along with a copy of their undersigned Thai ID or house registration is required. The name of the applicant must be indicated clearly, or

Thanks for your help

Is it possible to apply for this DTV visa if my only method of income is online trading? I don’t have a contract with any company, I just trade with my MT5 account for income. If so, what information would be needed to apply?
