Has anyone gotten a DTV but has mysterious sources of income. I make approx $10000 a month but don’t have a company- I stream on twitch from time to time and have subs on patreon. ( no nudity or anything at all) and have a big Twitter page with 50k where I get sent gifts under $. Or should I apply for soft power. Thanks :)

When I presented my DTV evisa at the Chiang Mai airport today I was led away to a separate area. It seemed like they were taking all the DTV visas to a separate area. When I was filling up my form I had a question and when she realized that I was on a workstation she let me go over and process my stamp. I think they are focusing more on questioning the soft power applicants. Just a fyi to be prepared to answer some questions.

Hello, I am currently in Thailand and will soon start freelancing. I have seen several people doing the DTV process from Vietnam. I would like to know if I can telework for a few weeks from Vietnam to justify my income? Is it legally allowed? and which kind of visa do I need in Vietnam? (I am French)

Anyone been approved recently or rejected from Hanoi doing softpowers?

For those of you who applied soft power in Hanoi were you asked for proof of income? I can't really tell if this is an informal requirement or not. I have ~650k in savings but I'm currently unemployed and unsure if this is an issue. In my free time I would like to pick up some freelance work but don't currently have any clients or paystubs.

Hi everyone,

I'll be reapplying for a DTV visa in the coming days. I had a previous application through the workcation route rejected. I'm going to apply again using soft power.

Should I mention the previous application within a cover letter for the new application? If so, any ideas on how to structure this letter?

Hey folks!

I’m considering to apply for the Digital Tourist Visa (DTV) from Singapore and trying to figure out the Digital Nomad vs Soft Power routes.

For the Digital Nomad track—does anyone know if you *have* to have a registered business, or can freelancers get by with just a portfolio? Also, if you have your own company, does your own company letter work for the “letter from company” thing?

And for Soft Power—are there specific companies or activities you have to be with? Any minimum time you need to do them?

Would love to hear how it worked for you or what you’ve heard. Thanks!

Has anyone successfully gotten approved with a soft power application using dental invisiblines, and could recommend a clinic ? Preferably in Chiang Mai.

I am planing on applying in Indonesia but would love to get recommendations.

Hi everyone! I know these things aren’t set in stone and could change at any time depending on what Thailand decides with DTV rules or visa checks, but I wanted to ask a couple of questions based on how things stand right now. I’ve searched the group but couldn’t find solid answers.

1. If I applied under the “soft power” category, is it possible to later change the reason (for example, to “workcation”) if the rules get stricter? Maybe through a 180-day in-country extension or reapplication?

2. Is there any noticeable difference between applying under “workcation” vs. “soft power” once you get the visa? Like, is the reason actually written on the visa or listed anywhere officially?

3. If I apply with “workcation” and get denied, would I be able to re‑apply using “soft power” right away? If so, could I re-apply at the same embassy?

Thanks!

I'm planning to apply for my visa through Hanoi office in a couple weeks. Wondering if anyone was called in for an interview? I would like to leave the city if possible. I'll be applying under soft power- muay thai.
