Hey , so around the summer of 2027 I’m going to be leaving out the army (not retirement) I’ll be 28 and my plan is to use my gi bill to go to college full time learning Thai for 4 years. Any advice of work from home jobs certifications or savings amount and anything else that is recommended to make the move easier that I should do before I move there. I have 2 years to prep.

Hello everyone, and thank you in advance for your help. I’m currently on a student visa and planning to apply for a DTV visa in July. I understand that I’m not allowed to work on a student visa, but I’ve recently been offered a remote job from abroad. I would like to switch to a DTV visa to ensure that I’m fully compliant with the laws in Thailand.

My questions are:

1. How can I show proof of my salary (which will be paid through SWIFT to my Thai bank account) given that I’m not currently allowed to work on a student visa?

2. Over the past three years, I haven’t paid any taxes because I was on a student visa. I’ve been living off savings from my previous job. If they ask for proof of tax payments, how should I handle this situation?

I’d greatly appreciate any advice, suggestions, or alternative approaches. Thanks!

Is there a basic list of things that everyone needs to do in order to get qualified for the DTV?

I have question regarding Marriage Visa Extension based on Income. I understand that to get 1 year marriage visa extension you either need to bank 400,000 THB, or have a monthly income of 40,000 THB. I work remotely for my US employer, hence do not have a Thai work permit, but I do pay personal income taxes in Thailand on my income. Is it feasible for me to get the extension based on monthly income? Or getting an extension based on income is only possible if you work for a thai company and have a work permit?

The reason I want to go with the income route is because I think having 400,000 THB in an index fund will be more beneficial for me rather than let it rot in a Thai Bank.

little help guys

I have a new employment certificate

I also got my employment contract but I started this job 7 years ago and the company has slightly changed names as they merged with another company. Is this still ok?

Thanks

May I know please how about to apply DTV Visa at Laos, Vientiane as remote job?

Have you all ever been in a situation like this? I can show all my employment certificates, but there is difficulty in showing the signer’s passport due to Confidential. Any suggestions for this situation? I am currently applying in Hanoi, VN under remote work.

I have a few DTV questions - I appreciate everyone's help in advance:

1. If I apply for DTV under workcation and get approval and then apply for my husband and kid's for their DTV - can my husband work remote as well under this "dependent" DTV?

2. I don't want to book any flights to Thailand until we all have approval - has anyone had their DTV application recently approved without providing an already booked flight confirmation and accommodation booking?

2 a) In case they end up requiring a flight booking - does anyone have a reliable website for a temp booking confirmation that would be sufficient?

3. If I don't have a flight until 2 months out - do you think they would take longer to process my application?

Thanks everyone

Hey all. Let’s settle this haha.

Are we allowed to work remotely with a soft power DTV visa?

DTV Interview in Taipei – Seeking Advice & Insights

I’ve been asked to come in for an interview as part of my application for the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) in Taipei, and I have to admit, I’m a bit surprised by this request. Given that my situation seems to align perfectly with the DTV’s requirements, I didn’t anticipate needing an interview.

For context, I work for an American company and want to work remotely from Thailand (because I am literally allowed to work anywhere and I have to travel anyways very often to Asia-pacific region for work, of course excluding Thailand). I’ve provided proof of my financial independence, my work contract, and the business license of the company I work for etc.

I’ve never applied for a Thai visa before and have always entered the country under the tourist exemption scheme (30 days, and recently 60 days). Therefore, I can guess maybe they have questions about my frequent entries and exits from Thailand over the past 1.5 years? The honest truth is, my business travel schedule has kept me outside the country most of the time, so I haven’t overstayed or violated any visa regulations. When I am in Chiang Mai, I’ve been living with my boyfriend (who is not Thai national but has an elite visa).

With that in mind, I’d love to hear from anyone who has experience with this interview process in Taipei. I’ve read some posts, but I still woud like to ask:

1. General overview of the interview process: What’s the vibe? Is it more formal or laid-back?

2. How was the overall interview? What questions did they ask for you?

3. TM30 question: Do they ask about TM30 registrations?

I’d really appreciate any guidance or reassurance you can offer. Thank you so much to this community for your help!
